Title: Password problem on openslug
Post by: provat on March 31, 2006, 06:16:47 AM

Hi,
I have installed amule from http://www.telefonica.net/web2/deb/amulefeed/
on my openslug nslu2.
amule and amuleweb is starting properly and I even have access on it's webpage on port 4711.
But I can't log in.
What is the way to install md5sum on a nslu2?
And what is the password?
In amule.conf, I have already put hexadecimal passwords(found on wiki.amule), but when I try to put on webinterface, it won't work.
What is the solution.

Thanks

Follow these instructions in the wiki (http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo_get_aMule_web_interface#Configuration_of_the_aMule-daemon) to configure amuled and the web-interface.

hexadecimal password!?!?!!?!  8o which page sais that?????

you can also use another linux mashine to calculate teh md5sum pass ( if openslug does not have md5sum command)

do you start amuleweb seperatly or together with amule?

have you tryed clearing teh cooki of the browser you use?

Hi Theonly fish and stefanero,
Thanks for quick response. I used the password found in wiki as 56f491c56340a6fa5c158863c6bfb39f. As it contains the characters upto "f", I called it hexadecimal numbers. Well I don't know, may be I am wrong.
I am using a windows xp machine with Putty.exe installed to communicate in ssh with nslu2; So I don't know about calculating md5sum will be possible or not.
The amuleweb starts automatically even after rebooting nslu2. As I have always access on port 4711.So I don't use the command /etc/init.d/amule start. The browser I use is mozilla firefox.

Still I will retry as the wiki says with a fresh reinstallation.

Thanks again

Are you sure you don't have md5sum on that box? I somehow doubt there's a distro out there which doesn't install this by default...

A new installation is not necessary.

But amuled and amuleweb must have the proper password. The password for amuled must be set in amule.conf, for amuleweb in remote.conf. These applications read it encoded in MD5 (for security reasons), so you have to encode your chosen password in MD5 by using md5sum (as described in the wiki link).

If you are unsure whether md5sum is installed at your machine, type

Code: [Select]

whereis md5sum at your console (ssh in your case).

md5sum is included in busybox in openslug-beta. In unstable is in coreutils.
It's installed by default.

Thanks a lot Ramiro and everybody.
It works like a charm when I used the command like in suse
echo -n password | md5sum | cut -d " " -f 1

My last question is do I have to use "screen" when I log out/switch off my pc or
Putty to make it run independently?
Don't mind for my question as I am a newcomer in linux(so may be it sounds stupid). But still I have a great success to run openslug. Planning in future to move to debian distro.
Thanks again.
