Need a quick Howto for a beginner
« on: December 25, 2006, 02:51:42 PM »

Hi All,

I Would like to install aMule on my home router running CentOS 4.4 and got really confused with all the versions and files i have found.

I already understand that the best way to install would be with the FC3 rpms and that's what i am about to do.

I came accross this page:
http://linfreak.zapto.org/amule/Fedora/FC3/

What should i install if i would like to run the aMule on a non-X system (Only Command Line), with statistics feature, Remote GUI (Web or non Web) ?

Thanks a lot for any help!

U need for non-X :
wx-base > only need this one for running amule without X
amule-daemon > for running amule without the GUI
amule-webserver > if u need to control amule with webserver
amulecmd > for control amule in command-line
and optionally amule-cas for estatistics.

Have fun....

Cheers....

Hi wardevil,

Thanks a lot for the information.

Somehow i managed to install this list of packages (I am an expert Linux user) and then i added the amuled init script from the wiki howto.

I now try to mess around with the config files (/root/.aMule/*) and i hardly find my way.

Running
# service emuled start
is starting the service but i cannot find out what does the directives in the config files mean.

Can you please point me to the documentation?

What GUI are available? I would like to run the WebAccess as well as Linux GUI and Windows GUI.

Do i need to start the webserver by myself or does it start with the emuled?

Thanks for the help!

You shouldnt run amuled as root,if amuled is compromised(never heard on any...but we never know)it could compromise your entire system with root account.

Yep...u need to take a look at the wiki
Take a good look on how to setup your amuled in amule.conf (not remote.conf as is in the wiki)
Take a good look at the password and external connections section or else your amuled will not run.

There are Linux Remote GUis and windows too....you need to search at the download page both of them work nicely with amuled...

I could be started automaticaly by amuled jut look at amule.conf contents and you will unsderstand.
The Important is to setup remote connection password and webserver password as well as external connections must be enabled.
Once you have amuled running you can login with http://(amuled host ip):4711 and control your amule from a web browser...anywhere.

Cheers.....
