standalone webserver
« on: November 01, 2004, 01:52:18 AM »
Hello,

just installed and configured aMule - amazing. :)
I have one question though.. I want to run aMule on my "server" where I prefer not to have any GUI running most of the time. I wonder if there are any plans to make a stand-alone webserver possible that is:

1. Run as a special user and started during system init.
2. Not require any GUI running in parallel


Also, I have noticed that web interface is not very responsive, I wonder if this is only happening here or a widely known problem...

Thank you.

Surge,

The new versions of amuleweb are much more responsive, since the implementation of the external connection protocol, version 2.0. Current CVS is pretty much ok for me, next release should have this code.

Cheers!

Yahoo! I will check amuled, however it seems that I got compilation errors when I enabled it - I will recheck tonight (my server is Slackware-current).

One question, so aMule is all based on wxWidgets, including threading, networking and (for sure) GUI? Or there is some Linux only code inside here and there?

Would be good idea to checkout tonight CVS and compile it instead of rc7?

Surge,

Better try it tomorrow, because today cvs tarball is probably broken (compilation) for a problem we had yesterday. Anyway, if you try and it compiles, go ahead!

Cheers!

Hi, where can I find instructions on how to grab current CVS and not prepared tarballs? Also, it seems that tarballs on download page are from Oct 26.. which is quite old, imho :)

What about my wxWidgets question?

I don't know what you mean "Linux code" - but for sure there's some posix code here and there. This  do creates some compilation problems on not-linux unix'es (solaris etc), but i think it compiles ok on all linuxes. Have includes provided of cause

About wx: yes, we use as much wx code as possible. Network, threads, sockets, gui, etc....

Just downloaded, compiled and installed Nov 3, CVS... It doesn't seem like webserver is any faster :(
Windows' eMule Web interface is like 10 times faster... any reasons why?

Edit: Just tried to use Unix sockets (which in theory must be MUCH faster then inet sockets), and amuleweb was not even able to connect (was trying 4112) :(
So I wonder if amuleweb can connect only via TCP sockets?

Of course there's reasons "why" - this is the way amuleweb built (not the best one). We are working on changing that.

You wanted to say "IP" sockets :) (there's no such beast TCP sockets)

But yes, it uses only IP. I wonder why this option still exist :)

Ok, ok.. :)

By saying TCP socket I meat to contrast the difference in the name of the option, more then anything else :)
