== How to setup a Webserver with [[aMule]] 2.0.0rc1 and later: ==
+
#REDIRECT [[aMuleWeb]]
 
+
When you installed your [[aMule]] via deb package or rpm, the [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] source is not included.
+
Please visit http://www.amule.org and download the tar.gz package for your [[aMule]] version.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
'''SETUP'''
+
 
+
0) Untar it and copy from the src directory:
+
*''aMule.tmpl''
+
*And the [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] directory
+
into your ''/home/usr_running_aMule/.aMule/'' directory.
+
 
+
1) Shutdown your [[aMule]] if it is still running
+
 
+
2) Edit your ''.eMule'' file: (located in $HOME)
+
*Locate the ''[ExternalConnect]'' section and change:
+
**''AcceptExternalConnections=1'' <-- To enable [[aMule]] listening for [[External Connections]]
+
**''ECUseTCPPort=1'' <-- The use the TCP port! Very important since Unix sockets are disabled
+
 
+
3) Restart [[aMule]]
+
 
+
4) Go to your Preferences -> Remote Connection (in [[aMule]]):
+
*Enable your [[aMuleWeb|webserver]]
+
*Also setup your passwords here for [External Connections]] and [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] login
+
*When you change your ports for [[aMuleWeb|webserver]] and [[External Connections]] here make sure to restart [[aMule]]!!
+
 
+
5) After you are done, save your settings, go to console and type
+
*''amuleweb''
+
*Type in your password. This will startup your [[aMule]] [[aMuleWeb|webserver]]. If you changed your [[External Connections]] port to someting else start [[aMuleWeb|amuleweb]] with:
+
*''amuleweb -p '''new_port'''''
+
at the end it should look something like this:
+
<code>
+
Web Server: Started
+
 
+
amuleweb$
+
 
+
WSThread: Thread started
+
 
+
WSThread: created service
+
 
+
WSThread: created socket listening on :4711
+
</code>
+
 
+
6) To make sure it is working use your favorite browser to browse:
+
*''http://localhost:4711''
+
 
+
'''NOTE:''' This (port 4711) is the default port of your [[aMuleWeb]]. If you connect to 4712 this will not work since it is the [[External Connections]] port, so connecting here will result in error messages by [[aMule]].
+
 
+
'''NOTE:''' Since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc6, [[aMuleWeb]] supports ''--quiet'' switch (or ''-q'' also) which renders allows    [[aMuleWeb]] to be easily run on the background.<br>
+
However, on previous [[aMule]] releases, although [[aMuleWeb]] works well, it's actually quite tricky to run it in the background because it's continuously asking for user commands and showing the prompt. The obvious way to avoid this would be running amuleweb with the output redirected to ''/dev/null'', but this hogs the CPU due to the constant writing, so a better approach is to use the program [http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/screen.html screen], which is a terminal emulator. In order to run [[aMuleWeb]] inside a virtual terminal, the following command should be executed: ''screen -d -m -S amulewebsession amuleweb -p 7000 -pw password'' (assuming that [[aMule]] is listening for [[External Connections]] on port ''7000'' and the password is ''password''). Then, [[aMuleWeb]] will start listening for HTTP connections, but will show the prompt and all messages in this virtual terminal. It's possible to switch to this terminal using the command ''screen -r amulewebsession'', please refer to [http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/screen.html screen] documentation for info about session switching, internal commands, etc.
