As many of you from time to time I have to restart amuled from it's sleep.
What's the best script to monitor if daemon is really working, and, if necessary, restart it ?
What's the problem running amule as root instead of normal user ?
I tried using coreutils, but now I should change /.amule and subdir attribs to 777.
Thanks, Max
Actually, I don't observe that amuled is freezing. In my system it works for weeks without restarting. However, the gui-s (both web- and remote gui) are freezing from time to time. I use remote gui, so, when I see it frozen I just close it and open again.Quote:

In general none of the network services should be run as root, because there is a potential danger that somebody will find a new (or existing) hole in the application and get control through it over your computer. In this case it is better if the hacked application was run as non privileged user, because it will decrease possible damage.
I posted here: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=51684&postcount=37 version of S57amuled which will start amuled not as root.
I suggest that the following is enough (I use these names and locations):
If amule is installed anew, then it is enough just to add user and run first time amule as this user. amule will create all necessary files itself.PHP Code:adduser p2p
chown -R p2p:p2p /opt/home/p2p
Does the oleg firmware for the WL-500gP supports the "adduser" command?Quote:

I'm testing in the last week this script in /opt/etc/cron.hourly:
nodes.dat.bak is a Kad nodelist I backed up when aMuled works fine.Code:#!/bin/sh
if [[ `LC_ALL="C" amulecmd -P mypassword -c status | grep 'Kad: Connected (ok)' | wc -l` != "1" ]]; then
/opt/etc/init.d/S57amuled stop
rm /opt/share/amule/.aMule/muleLock
cp /opt/share/amule/.aMule/nodes.dat.bak /opt/share/amule/.aMule/nodes.dat
/opt/etc/init.d/S57amuled start
fi
In this way if aMuled appear as not connected to Kad (Kad is the only network I'm able to use due to NATted ISP), the script stops the daemon, remove the lockfile, copy a populated list of Kad nodes and restarts the daemon.
It seems workin' fine, but sometimes I loose the list of shared files, so aMuled restarts hashing it (a looooooot of time...).
Don't know if there'a a better way, but this works for me.
A couple of questions about Remote GUI:
I'm using aMule Remote GUI on my WinMachine, to control amuled running on WL500gP.
Is there a way to see amuled statistics ?
I can read it using "amuled -P mypassword -c statistics" on asus, but I can't see anything using Remote GUI.
Is there a way to preview downloading files on win gui as I can do with eMule (VLC) ?
Thanks, Max
PS: Amule 2.2.0 is really on the way...
Hi.
I have installed amule yesterday. Everything is working fine but i have one question. Is it possible to create some kind of script to make amule working only between f.e. 11pm and 8am? I want to use amule only at night but i dont want to do it manual - start at 11pm and stop at 8am. Thanks for helping.
Take a look at MacSat's website for cron.Quote:

Hi i've trying to use amule with my wl500w but i'm always the same problem when i run amuleweb and insert my password always said to me "unable to connect to the specified host" and i can't access with web anybody help me

In the log I saw, that the hashes where different, although I typed in the same password. For example:
but when I remove the password string from the remote.conf, start amuleweb and type in "test" as password, the access is denied and the logfile saysCode:echo test | md5sum

To connect amuleweb to amuled the password string only has to be the same, but to connect to the web-gui you have to setCode:EC Auth failed: (098F6BCD4621D373CADE4E832627B4F6 != D8E8FCA2DC0F896FD7CB4CB0031BA249)
in the remote.conf in order to log into the web-interface with "test". Don't ask me why, I can only say that it works here this way.Code:Password=098F6BCD4621D373CADE4E832627B4F6
Cheers Darkstar.
i've a wl500w but i can't configure amule well can anybody pass me a complete tutorial that help me to doing well

:mad:
how to add an eD2k links to download queque? pls help me....:eek:
it depends on how do you access it. If you didn't set up remote gui, then you can do:
amulecmd -c add "ed2k://..."
I have to set up remote gui and i can't download the ed2k paste into the box. and... sorry but this method seem not work, but if I execute amulecmd and after I do the add command "ed2k://..." it respond with "Request failed with the following error: Invalid link or already on list." heeeelp.....:eek:Quote:

It's There!
Thank you package maintainer :)

Hope to find soon the Adudanza mod for aMule....

It didn't work at first, it got stuck at generating a cryptkey.dat file with almost 100% cpu time. :mad:Fortunately I could generate one manually with
edit: generated key doesn't work:mad:Code:openssl genrsa 384 > .aMule/cryptkey.dat
Now downloading works. I don't know how to check if the new features like obfuscation are working. The GUI does not flicker anymore!
Only thing that doesn't work are KAD searches. They never give a result for me. Trying to find out what's wrong.
Pim.
By a 'bug' in crypto++, crypto++ got build for big endian on mips instead of little endian.
Thus none of the crypto functions in amule were working.
A patch for crypto++ has just been added to the feed, so after crypto++ and amule are rebuild, the problems should be solved.
That's nice because I just found out the key I generated manually doesn't work.Quote:

:-) update: it works now!
I run 2.2.1 amule over 20 hours and the KAD is still OK, so I think KAD disconnect bug should be fixed.Quote:

Same thing here... I don't think it is normal and hope they can fix it.Quote:

hello
i've just installed amule on my wl500gp with partial success so i'd like to ask your help to eliminate the remaining errors
i access the server trough remote-gui from my notebook (zenwalk, amulegui hand-compiled)
amule downloads the server list and i can connect to any server (at least all that i've tried) with highid without problem. on the other hand i can only connect to kad in firewalled mode (i saw this is a problem for many of you guys but i couldn't see anyone having a solution) and after a time i get disconnected from kad (the average users number decreases constantly). connecting to kad also takes ages
my second problem is that if i make a local/global search for a keyword that usually produces countless results (like britney spears or so :) ) i get only a few results - less than a hundred that is definitely a sign of a problem for me
and for the last one: is it normal that amulegui doesn't work the same as it worked when amule was on my local computer? i mean that eg. it doesn't show the amule log and server info in the networks page, in preferences under sharing files i see my local computers hard drive (and not the one attached to the router), the preferences page doesn't seem to be 100% in sync with the config file on the router (in my preferences i see the name i set in the config file but EC is shown as disabled but obviously it is enabled as i use it..) etc. (btw could anyone tell me please how can i share files this way? only by using amulecmd?)
i compiled amulegui on my local computer with these settings:
and i have these rules in iptables (all the other chains are left at the default settings)Code:./configure --enable-amule-gui --disable-monolithic --enable-wxcas --enable-cas --enable-verbose --enable-alc --enable-alcc --enable-ccache
i inserted the 2 udp rules before the invalid state rule as i've read that some of you had misterious problems with that invalid state rule but this didn't help kad
thanks in advance,Code:Chain INPUT (policy DROP)

How can i prevent amuled and amuleweb from starting at boot?
