Setup aMule's Webserver on CentOS

Although there is a RPM of aMule for RHEL5 and CentOS, it has only aMule main program. If you would like to remote control your aMule server, you must have aMuleWeb installed. For CentOS users, you have to compile the sourcecode of aMule by yourself because aMuleWeb is compiled at the same time you compile aMule by using the --enable-amuleweb flag when you run configure.

1. Download sourcecode from http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=34 and extract it
2. Install below packages for compiling environment
zlib-devel, wxGTK-devel, gettext-devel, gcc-c++
3. Check http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Configure for all available parameters
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-webserver --enable-amulecmd --enable-amule-daemon --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-alc --enable-alcc
4.

make # It takes much long time
make install

5. Run aMule from desktop or shell
6. Go to "Preferences"
Enable "Accept External Connections"
Enter a password for External Connections. This is for external programs like amulecmd and amulegui
Enable "Run amuleweb on startup"
Type a password into "Full right" field. This is the password that you want to type when you login
7. Restart aMule in order to make the changes to take effect.
8. Remember to open 4711 port of the firewall so that you can open aMuleWeb in a browser by entering the URL, http://ip:4711

Add firewall rules for aMule in order to get a HighID on CentOS

1. Insert iptables rules:

/sbin/iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 4665 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 4672 -j ACCEPT

2. Get the rules saved to /etc/sysconfig/iptables using iptables-save

/sbin/service iptables save

3. Restart iptables

/etc/init.d/iptables restart
