Webserver with aMule 1.2.8 or earlier

The following is based on the original instruction by BigBob. They guide you on how to modify aMule's configuration files to set aMuleWeb correctly.
There is "Preferences"->"Remote Controls" now, but anyway, information is never a bad idea.

• Shutdown aMule to avoid overwritting config files while shutting down.

• Copy from aMule's sources (version 1.2.4 or later) the directory src/webserver/ into your ~/.aMule/webserver/ directory.

• Copy from aMule's sources (version 1.2.4 or later) the file src/aMule.tmpl into your ~/.aMule/aMule.tmpl directory.

• Open a terminal and type (you might have to install md5sum):

echo -n "THEPASWORDYOUWANT" | md5sum | cut -d " " -f 1

This command will reply with an MD5 hash. Something like: 324f85f6095f9e5fe25b6c85af44b445

• Edit your ~/.eMule file, locate the [ExternalConnect] section in it and change this fields:

AcceptExternalConnections=1 <- To enable aMule to listen for External Connections.

ECUseTCPPort=0 <- 0/1 (disable/enable) the use of a TCP port (if disabled use a Unix socket in your ~/.aMule/muleconn) for External Connections.

ECPort=4712 <- Put here the port on which you want aMule to listen for External Connections.

ECPassword=39e5049d0614baf21906500e2261d500 <- Put here the password for External Connections' authentications you generated before in terminal (something like 324f85f6095f9e5fe25b6c85af44b445).

• Edit your ~/.eMule file, locate the [WebServer] section in it and change fields:

Password=324f85f6095f9e5fe25b6c85af44b445 <- Put here the password generated with md5sum for the admin (full privileged users).

PasswordLow=1db5a746266e941b3ef7dd3586863ca7 <- Put here the password generated with md5sum for "low users" (low privileged users).

Port=10000 <- Put the port you want aMuleWeb to listen on.

Enabled=1 <- This option has been deprecated and is completly ignored now. Enabling External Connections will enable any application it connects to it, including aMuleWeb.

UseGzip=1 <- Enable compression on communication.

PageRefreshTime=120 <- Put here the web page refresh time (in seconds).

UseLowRightsUser=0 <- 0/1 (disabled/enabled) "low user" access.

• Restart aMule.

• Once aMule is running, start the web interface (aMuleWeb).

• Now point your web browser to http://localhost:10000 (or whatever your host and ports are) and authenticate yourself with "Password" (for full privileged user) or "PasswordLow" (for low privileged user, if enabled).

• That's all :)

'NOTE: In latest aMule 1.2.x releases, the option WebTemplateFile allows to override the file template to use (thanks to Stefanero. You can set this option in the [eMule]] section. Example:

WebTemplateFile=eMule.tmpl

Connecting to amuleweb

To run aMuleWeb run amuleweb on a terminal. For more information about running aMuleWeb check the aMuleWeb document.

Once aMuleWeb is running, open a web browser and connect to:

http://host:port

where host stands for your host's name (try with localhost) and port stands for the aMuleWeb port (NOT the External Connections port).

For example: http://localhost:4711
