Hello, I have installed amuled 2.1.2
 I want to start it at my server startup with start-stop-daemon (gentoo)

 start-stop-daemon --start --exec "/usr/local/bin/amuled" --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/amuled.pid >/var/log/amule.log

but i have this litle problem :
amule.log :

amuled: OnInit - starting timer
Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
No other instances are running.
ERROR: Warning Warning! You are running aMule as root.
Doing so is not recommended for security reasons,
and you are advised to run aMule as an normal
user instead.

Now, exiting main app...

aMule shutdown completed.



But my .aMule folder is /home/emule/.aMule

other question  : how can i run amule at startup with a normal user??

Hi stpierre!

You first have to set up amuled. (Enable external connections in order to access amuled per amuleweb/amulecmd/amuleGUI) You can either use a script or you just follow the wiki. (e.g. here)

You'll find a startup script here which allows you to start amuled as common user.

Have fun with amuled!
