I have Debian installed. I wanted to use amule. I do not have X server installed so I'm going the command line route. Since debian has it's apt-get install stuff I know I don't really have to compile anything. I installed amule-daemon which also added the webserver, gave it the option to startup when my computer starts. I can stop the amule-daemon and it says it's stopping the amuleweb too so I know the amuleweb is running. I have forwarded the ports as required. Been all over that wiki going through steps and it's confusing as hell. I try to connect to amuleweb through my webbrowser and it always gives me connection refused.
I have a few questions.
How do I make myself a password for this?
How many files require actual configuring? (i created that remote.conf and edited the amule.conf out the arse)
And finally, why does everything linux have to be so hard? :( Sorry if i sound angry I've just spent the last 8 hours trying to get this working.
Could someone give me a straight answer step by step of what to do exactly instead of pointing me to non-helpful urls?
-
I hope that everything you need will be covered by the wiki:
http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/AMuleWeb
The first thing I would like to try is to connect locally (via lynx or another text browser) to localhost:4711 (or to whatever you changed the webserver port).
-
Tried it hours ago, thats what gives me the connection refused.
I think this part is what is confusing me:
ECPassword=ca3c365274907c6fd527068788e14639 <-- To find the MD5 string for your password, do:
$ echo -n yourpasswordhere | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1
ca3c365274907c6fd527068788e14639
The thing is, I don't have a password for it, because nothing tells me how to make a password.
-
You just choose a word, which you want to use as a password. Let's take sauerkraut as example.
First of all you need the md5hash for 'sauerkraut'
To get this, you have to execute the following command in a terminal:
echo -n sauerkraut | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1The Result should be 52381cef39ef6cf8b58cf1f710f05270.
Now you insert this md5hash as the value of ECPassword in the amule.conf file.
The line looks now like this:
ECPassword=52381cef39ef6cf8b58cf1f710f05270
Now the ec-password is sauerkraut when you want to connect e.g. via amulecmd. Don't forget to create a remote.conf by running amuleweb -w
-
i have created this remote.conf file like hours ago :(. i did the echo thing too.
I get from my browser:
"The connection was refused when attempting to contact blah:4711"
I know this amuleweb thing is running. I've followed all of the wiki examples. I still get nothing.
Sorry
is it really running? It says this but I bet it doesnt mean it.
:/# etc/init.d/amule-daemon restart
Stopping aMuleWeb : amuleweb.
Starting aMule : amuled.
-
hrm, it appears that it isn't running after all. I had to run amuleweb -h (ip) and it ran and im able to access it on my browser. But will it always run? Also, when im on the web thing i enter my password for it and press login and it just refreshes back to the login page. Reports Password bad. hrm...
-
[WebServer]
Enabled=1
Password=md5hash
Assure that you've enabled the automatic start of the webserver (see above) and that you've put the right password. Oh, and you need cookies enabled in order to use amuleweb.

hrm, am i going to have to be logged in to my shell just to keep this thing running? If so... ugh, thanks for the help but this is to tough. Im just going to uninstall it.
-
No!
These are the changes you have to do in the amule.conf in order to achieve that amuleweb is being launched in the background, without the need for a login!
-
I'm confused, and don't know what to do. I put in all this info inthe config and restart amule-daemon and even taht amule thing i created on wiki, and still nothing working right. I've set all the config stuff as you told me. in my shell ive ran the amuleweb thing and managed to launch it that way, but it still does nothing when i try to login.
Could you perhaps show me an exact step by step to follow? Because the wiki I can't understand at all.
Step 1: (using debian) run "apt-get install amule-daemon".
It installs that way without me having to configure to compile etc...
I want to really use this but its beyond me.
-
Did you set the webserver password on the config file?
-
Yes. I even set all the passwords everywhere for emule everythign to test and still nothing. That one time I got it to show the webserver login page i'd type in the password I gave it and it wouldnt go anywhere. So lost. I need a how to (not the wiki) a
step1: installing
step2: configuring
step3: running
-
well whats wrong with the wiki? its explained pretty fine
well post your
amule.conf !!! here so I can see what you have done, and where the error is
and also a
remote.conf !!! IF you have one, if not you cant paste it
also post me the output of
ls -la /usr/bin/amule*
and
ls -la /usr/local/bin/amule*
do all that and I can help ya

I hate when people gets so stubborn. NO, YOU DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING OR IT WOULD WORK. duh.
And I agree with stefan. Wiki is pefecctly explained and people configures it from there perfectly.
-

Kry, next time before you gonna write user-interfacing application, think AGAIN. Webserver configuration is not even near to user-friendly.
You right, he didn't do everithing (or it would work), but he can't see it. And IMHO he shouldn't do something else except of clicking on "Enable Webserver" checkbox in preferences.
Imagine:
User: How do I ... ?
Kry: Open terminal and ...
User: What do you mean "terminal" ?
-
Well, maybe we should provide a configuration script for those who have no x to improve the usability.
(I mean sth. like a dpkg-reconfigure dialogue)
I graduate atm, but I could try to teach myself some 'advanced' shell scripting when I'm done. I wanted to learn this anyway...
-
well lfroen thats basically what you do with normal amule,
open prefs, click enable webserver and set password for external connections, and the webinterface login
how can it be more simple?
with the daemon version of amule, its of course a little more tricky since you dont have a gui

Wt, did I code this part of the config? No I didn't. HE can't see it? Wow, what about following the wiki instructions? It WORKS when you do that. Not our fault if he did anything wrong.
I mean, is not that hard. Open amuled. Closed amuled. Edit config. Set EC to 1. Set the EC and webserver password. Set amuleweb to 1 if you want to run it on startup. Close config. Run. Profit.
Want an ncurses configure? Go on. Won't stop you.
Oh, and next time an user says "what do you mean terminal?" when TRYING TO RUN A FUCKING DAEMON, I'll smack him in the head. Heavily.
-
I've already explained. I am on debian unstable. I used the apt-get install to install amule-daemon (which also installed the amuleweb). It added to my init.d (run at startup whatever) the amuled and amuleweb. But, when I would run it, amuleweb would not run. When I could eventually get it somehow running, it wouldn't let me login when i gave it the right password. Your wiki may be easy for advanced linux users to understand but i'm not advanced.
your wiki: Run amuleweb -w to generate ~/.aMule/remote.conf and edit it for these options. It previously were on ~/.aMule/amule.conf, but the lines are still on this file, so edit both if in doubt.
The file generated did not contain the same "lines". That sentence doesn't make any since. "It previously were on" throws me off.

The debian internal ip is: 192.168.1.45.
After running the init.d for starting the daemon process I would try to go to 192.168.1.45:4711 and recieve connection refused.
In my debian bash shell "command prompt" i'd type:
sporc:/# amuleweb -h localhost
This is amuleweb 2.1.1
Creating client...
Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the specified host
but typing this works for getting the amuleweb running:
sporc:/# amuleweb -h 192.168.1.45
This is amuleweb 2.1.1
Creating client...
Succeeded! Connection established to aMule 2.1.1

I'm using the password test for everything until it gets working, before when I would run this, i'd put in test and it would just refresh the page back to the login. I managed to login now running as root. I am able to get to the web interface using the ip address. Yet when I try to run it under my normal linux account the login page still refreshes and is not logging in. I check and see this:
Web Server: Started

Again I have set every password to "test".
I want to login to this from a home PC the debian computer has my webserver on it called scorpwanna.com I tryed scorpwanna.com:4712 (external connection) and it didn't work.
-
ok, I'm now able to login using the password test at the following location 192.168.1.45:4711
I removed my config for remote.conf (apparently it was created when I was logged in as root) recreated it under my normal user account. restarted the amule-daemon I can login.
But I'm still needing to run amuleweb manually and stay logged into my shell so that it still runs.
When i apt-get install amule-daemon it created this file:
/etc/init.d/amule-daemon

-------------------------
Though it has an echo line saying it stops the amuleweb it doesn't appear to have a starting for it. I think maybe I need to add it. But to where? Localhost? 192.168.1.45? I want to access this from another PC location targeting scorpwanna.com.
-
as I said before -> post your amule.conf file plz,
if everything is correct there, you shoudl NOT need to run amuleweb separte,
but looks like you did nto read my post....
-
perhaps you are the one that can't read, i posted it already in this thread. :)
Just because steps taken to get to a certain point, gets one person there, doesn't mean those same steps will lead a person in the same direction.
It's been my experience that every computer system is different. Different things need to be set just so something else can work. I am not using a simple point and click gui. I'm using terminal/bash shell command prompt whatever you wanna call it to set this up. And I followed your instructions on your wiki with null results. Under my root access to my debian I apt-get installed. The amule.conf file was created under my normal user name but the remote.conf was created under root. Which apparently wasn't allowing me to access it as a normal user, possibly due to file permissions. But I found out quick that i needed to be logged in under my normal user account to create the remote.conf file. Something your wiki didn't mention on the amuleweb page. Then there's the port forwarding that each router/modem has that is different. You didn't mention forwarding of ports if a pc is connected to a network to the 4711-4712.
The only problem now is actually finding out why amuleweb isn't running when the daemon is started. The amule-daemon which was automaticly placed in the etc/init.d/ may stop the process, but it never starts it. Which is why ive had to manually start it and use an internal machine ip address to even access it over my network.
The Host= line of the config, it's default at localhost. Do I need to change this? Because again, just typing "amuleweb" (at my terminal bash shebang line) and then the password gives me a host error. It's only if i type out the internal ip after that it even gets connected.
-
well you said you changed some things, so I figured it was not up2date anymore...
ok try one thing plz
telnet localhost 4712
in a normal terminal, lookt to me you cannot lookup localhost, since you had to use -h IP_ADDRESS
if this does NOT work add a line like this to your /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localhost
then retry the telnet command, if it works restart the whole amule(d) thingy, and again you do NOT need to start amuleweb seperate!! you have in your amule.conf file
[WebServer]
Enabled=1
^^ the 1 lets it start automatically, you can check if its running with
ps ax | grep amuleweb
-
Actually the amule.conf file has not been changed nore has the remote.conf.
brandon@sporc:~$ telnet localhost 4712
telnet: could not resolve localhost/4712: Name or service not known
brandon@sporc:~$
/etc/hosts file
-------------------------
127.0.0.1 scorpwanna.com scorpwanna.com sporc
#127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost debian
192.168.1.45 scorpwanna.com scorpwanna.com sporc
-------------------------
brandon@sporc:~$ telnet scorpwanna.com 4712
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to scorpwanna.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
--------------------------
I then uncomment the other 127 line and try the telnet again:
sporc:/home/brandon# telnet localhost 4712
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
I have the line commented because of my server, webserver and samba filesharing.
brandon@sporc:~$ ps ax | grep amuleweb
19812 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep amuleweb
brandon@sporc:~$
Hope this info helps. And thanks for putting up with me.
-
sporc:/home/brandon# telnet localhost 4712
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
^^ if it like that its OK,
you can have one or more names for 127.0.0.1 so having both in there is just fine...also for webserver, samba and so on....
so remove the comment, restart amule(d) and see if it works
btw: it would be really better if you first try without teh init.d script, when you have everything running, and it works correct use the init.d script you never know if there is some error in there aswell...
so run on the console (with the amule user)
amuled -f
then do
ps ax | grep amule
you should see at least one amuled process and one amuleweb...
with
netstat -ntpl | grep amule
you can check which tcp-ports are used by mule, you should have 2 amuled (4612 and the normal 4662) and one for amuleweb(if its running) 4711
-
:) if i leave it uncommented and restart the amule(d) thing i am able to access (without running a separate process of amuleweb) using in my browser http://192.168.1.45:4711 (from another PC on my network). So that is solved. Thanks.
Now for the remote (from another PC not on the network).
I just tryed http://scorpwanna.com:4711 from this PC i'm on now and it said connection refused again, (i'm vncing) so i tryed it in my browser (on the network) again, and it said the same. I had to restart the amule(d) again and both locations are working right now. So it is functioning.
Thanks. Sorry for the fuss and dogging your wiki. It was helpful to a point but there was more to this than just simple settings. :)
-
ah cool its working :))
-
yeah as long as i dont try port 4712 it will stay running, if I try that port it seems to crash it and i have to restart the daemon. So I suppose I'll just not have that port forwarded and just use 4711 for all of it. Thanks again.
-
well port 4712 is just remote-apps like -> amulecmd, amuleweb or amule-remote-gui
so you should not point the webbrowser to it, 4711 is for the webbrowser...
-
And the crash is fixed on CVS.
-
Few more bother-some questions.
What setting do I use in amule.conf to have amule connect to "DonkeyServer No2." when it starts up? This is the main server I always connect to on emule and I'd like it to always connect to it.
Also what does
Kad Status: Connected(Firewalled) mean?
And it doesn't stay connected.
And finally, how do I set which directories of files I want to share? What lines do I add to amule.conf to share like a directory that would be called /home/brandon/Video/
Thanks
-
first question
atm this is not implemented, only thing you could do is run normal amule one time, and make it static, afterwards select in prefs "connect to static servers only", but like I said with amuleweb this does not work yet
2nd question
thre is a huge thread about kad disconnection in this forum, read it ;)
firewalled means you have not opend all needed ports for kad, remeber you also need two udp ports
3rd question
add the line of folders you want to share to
/home/USER_NAME/.aMule/shareddir.dat
pay attention, its case sensive
-
Thanks, helped me out plenty :).
