== Set aMule web interface ==

This guide will only work with the 2.x-version of the aMule client. All commands stated are to be run in a terminal, such as konsole or gnome-terminal. In most cases you will have to compile aMule yourself if you want amuleweb, if not you can jump directly to ''"Configuration of the aMule daemon"'' section of this guide. 

aMule source code can be grabbed [http://www.amule.org/files/details.php?file=179 here].

=== Installation of the aMule daemon ===
Extract and run
 $ ./configure --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --disable-monolithic --enable-amule-daemon --prefix=/home/''user''/bin/
 $ make
 $ make install
where the ''--prefix='' parameter is to be replaced with the path of where amule is to be installed.

If you wish to install the client system-wide, rather that the user's own home directory, the '--prefix=' parameter can be removed.

=== Configuration of the aMule-daemon ===
Go to the path where aMule was installed, which in our case is ''~/bin'' and run ''./amuled''. When this is done, the configuration file ''~/.aMule/amule.conf'' is created.

Quit the daemon again. Find and replace the follwoing lines in ''~/.aMule/amule.conf''.
* AcceptExternalConnections=1 <-- To let aMule listen to external connections.
* ECPassword=56f491c56340a6fa5c158863c6bfb39f <-- MD5 of the password you wish to use.

Use the command ''md5sum'' to create a MD5-string of a password:
 $ echo -n password | md5sum
 56f491c56340a6fa5c158863c6bfb39f -

=== Configuration of the aMule web interface ===
The program ''amuleweb'' is used to get the web interface running. To create a configuration file for this program, the following parameters are used, where ''--password'' is the password used in the amule daemon configuration and ''--admin-pass'' is the password to access the web interface itself.
 $ ./amuleweb --write-config --host=localhost --password=password --admin-pass=anotherpassword

Then you just have to start amuleweb, and you're done. Be aware that the amule daemon must be running.
 $ ./amuleweb

=== Connecting from your web browser ===
Go to the web address ''http://hostname:4711'', where hostname is the name of the computer running amuleweb and 4711 is the port amuleweb is using. In most cases this should be ''http://localhost:4711''.
