DESCRIPTION
amuleweb manages your access to amule through a web browser. You can
start amuleweb together with amule(1), or separately, any time later.
Options can be specified via command-line or via config-file. Command-
line options take precedence over config-file options.
-h, --host=<host>
Host where aMule is running (default: localhost). <host> might
be an IP address or a DNS name.
-p, --port=<port>
aMule's port for External Connections, as set in
Preferences->Remote Controls (default: 4712).
-P, --password=<passwd>.
External Connections password.
-f, --config-file=<path>
Uses the given configuration file. Default configuration file
is ~/.aMule/remote.conf .
-q, --quiet
Does not print any output to stdout. You may want to use -q to
daemonize the webserver, i.e. running as 'amuleweb -q &'.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose - show also debug messages.
-l, --locale=<lang>
Sets program locale (language). See section LANGUAGES for the
description of the <lang> parameter.
-w, --write-config
Writes command line options to config file and exit.
--create-config-from=<path>
Creates config file based upon <path>, which must point to a
valid aMule config file, and then exit.
-t, --template=<name>
Loads the template named <name>. See also the section SKIN
SUPPORT.
-s, --server-port=<port>
Webserver's HTTP port. This is the port you can point your
browser to (default: 4711).
-z, --enable-upnp
Enables use of UPnP port forwarding on web server port.
-U, --upnp-port
UPnP port.
-z, --enable-gzip
Enables using gzip compression in HTTP traffic to save
bandwidth.
-Z, --disable-gzip
Disables using gzip compression (this is the default).
-A, --admin-pass=<passwd>
Full access password for webserver.
-G, --guest-pass=<passwd>
Guest password for webserver.
-a, --allow-guest
Allows guest access.
-d, --deny-guest
Denies guest access (default).
-L, --load-settings
Load/save webserver settings from/to remote aMule. This causes
amuleweb to ignore command-line and config-file settings, and
load them from aMule. When saving preferences none will be
written to the config file, but to aMule. (Of course, this
works only for those settings that can be set in aMule's
Preferences->Remote Controls.)
-N, --no-script-cache
Recompiles PHP pages on each request.
--amule-config-file=<path>
aMule config file path. DO NOT USE DIRECTLY! aMule uses this
option when starting amuleweb at aMule startup. This option
causes all other command-line and config-file settings to be
ignored, preferences to be read from the given config file, and
also implies the -q -L options.
--help Prints a short usage description.
--version
Displays the current version number.
NOTES
Paths
For all options which take a <path> value, if the path contains no
directory part (i.e. just a plain filename), then it is considered to
be under the aMule configuration directory, ~/.aMule.
LANGUAGES
The <lang> parameter for the -l option has the following form:
lang[_LANG][.encoding][@modifier] where lang is the primary language,
LANG is a sublanguage/territory, encoding is the character set to use
and modifier "allows the user to select a specific instance of
localization data within a single category".
For example, the following strings are valid:
de
de_DE
de_DE.iso88591
de_DE@euro
de_DE.iso88591@euro
Though all the above strings are accepted as valid language
definitions, encoding and modifier are yet unused.
In addition to the format above, you can also specify full language
names in English - so -l german is also valid and is equal to -l de_DE.
When no locale is defined, either on command-line or in config file,
system default language will be used.
SKIN SUPPORT
amuleweb is capable of displaying information in different skins.
These skins are called templates, and you can make amuleweb load a
specific template via the -t command line option. Templates are
searched in two places: first in ~/.aMule/webserver/ and then in
$(pkgdatadir)/webserver/ ($(pkgdatadir) is the install location of
architecture independent data, most likely something like
/usr/share/amule). Each template must be in a subdirectory of the
template name, and this directory must contain all files the template
needs. The actual template filename must be aMule.tmpl.
For example, the default template (named 'default') is in
webserver/default/, and this directory contains aMule.tmpl amongst a
lot of image files.
FILES
~/.aMule/remote.conf
~/.aMule/webserver/
$(pkgdatadir)/webserver/
EXAMPLE
Typically amuleweb will be first run as:
amuleweb -h hostname -p ECport -P ECpassword -s HTTPport -A
AdminPassword -w
or
amuleweb --create-config-from=/home/username/.aMule/amule.conf
These will save settings to $HOME/.aMule/remote.conf, and later you
only need to type:
amuleweb
Of course, you may specify any more or less options on the first
example line, and you may also totally omit it.
