#REDIRECT [[aMuleWeb]]
 
+
If you installed [[aMule]] via [http://www.debian.org deb] or [http://www.rpm.org RPM] package, the [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] source is not included.
+
Since some few files are needed from the sources to set-up [[aMuleWeb]], please visit http://www.amule.org and download the tar.gz package for your [[aMule]] version.
+
 
+
== Set a [[aMuleWeb|Webserver]] with [[aMule]] ==
+
 
+
=== With [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc1 or later ===
+
 
+
*[http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html Untar] the sources and copy ''src/aMule.tmpl'' and ''src/webserver/'' into your ''~/.aMule/'' directory. The following (run from the sources directory), should do so:
+
:''cp -r src/aMule.tmpl src/webserver/ ~/.aMule/''
+
 
+
*Shutdown [[aMule]] if it is still running.
+
 
+
*Edit your ''~/.eMule'' file:
+
*Locate the ''[ExternalConnect]'' section and change:
+
**''AcceptExternalConnections=1'' <-- To enable [[aMule]] listening for [[External Connections]].
+
**''ECUseTCPPort=1'' <-- To use the [http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet/tcp-ip/resource-list TCP] port. Very important since [http://www.unix.org Unix] sockets are disabled.
+
 
+
*Restart [[aMule]]
+
 
+
*Go to your "Preferences"->"Remote Controls" (in [[aMule]]):
+
**Enable your [[aMuleWeb|webserver]]
+
**Also setup your passwords here for [[External Connections]] and [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] login.
+
::'''NOTE:''' When you change your [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] and [[External Connections]] ports here, make sure to restart [[aMule]].
+
 
+
*Now you're done! You are ready to run [[aMuleWeb]] and connect to it.
+
 
+
'''[[User:Stefanero|Stefanero]]'''
+
 
+
=== 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 ''[http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/textutils/md5sum.1.html md5sum]''):
+
 
+
:''echo -n "'''THEPASWORDYOUWANT'''" | md5sum | cut -d " " -f 1''
+
:This command will reply with an [[MD4 hash|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 [http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet/tcp-ip/resource-list TCP] port (if disabled use a [http://www.unix.org 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<nowiki>'</nowiki> 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 [http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/textutils/md5sum.1.html md5sum] for the admin (full privileged users).
+
:''PasswordLow=1db5a746266e941b3ef7dd3586863ca7'' <- Put here the password generated with [http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/textutils/md5sum.1.html 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 [[User:Stefanero|Stefanero]]. You can set this option in the ''[eMule]]'' section. Example:
+
 
+
:''WebTemplateFile=eMule.tmpl''
+
 
+
''Shakraw''
+
 
+
== Connecting to [[aMuleWeb]] ==
+
 
+
To run [[aMuleWeb]] run ''amuleweb'' on a terminal. For more information about running [[aMuleWeb]] check the [[aMuleWeb|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''
+
 
+
== Standard ports ==
+
 
+
The ports can be set to anything, but this are the most used (the standard ones):
+
 
+
*[[External Connections]]: 4712
+
*[[aMuleWeb]]: 4711
+
 
+
Make sure you do not confuse with what each of them is.
+
 
+
== Where to report problems and questions? ==
+
 
+
For Problems or Questions just report on http://forum.amule.org forum or join [[IRC]] channel [irc://irc.freenode.net/amule #amule] at [irc://irc.freenode.net irc.freenode.net]
