Irish-link: Httpd service and ways to troubleshoot

httpd is the web service. When you create a web application this is the service that is used, along with all of the other web based applications on Amahi.

If for some reason it does not start, or when you try to manually start it "sudo service httpd restart" and you get a return of [failed] first thing you should do is check the error log. This is located in "/var/log/httpd/" you will need to be Super User to access these logs.

The best way to view the error log is to open terminal and type "sudo nano /var/log/httpd/error_log"
Look at the bottom of the file and it should provide you with the most recent error.

This will help you troubleshoot why the websites on your HDA are not showing up.

Note: if you delete the log files for a custom made web application this will cause an error that will prevent httpd from starting. Find out what directory it is looking for and recreate that manually. Once this happens you will be able to start the httpd service.

From the original [http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1508&start=0 iPhone VPN] thread in the forums:

For all of you out there that have an iPhone or any other mobile "idevice" And want VPN access I have found a way. The catch is, you have to have a jail broken device. If you do have a jail broken device and want the openvpn app on the phone you will want to check out www.guizmovpn.com it's about 4€. The evaluation period is a full week. But the price is worth it.

To configure the client you will need to follow the guide on www.guizmovpn.com The client info you will need to get from the wiki here http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/VPNLinux

I have also created a full guide custom tailored to amahi vpn access.
It might seem like a little to much or a hassle but its really simple. It just takes the time to read. http://home.mchsi.com/~irish-link/GuizmOVPN.pdf

If you go to set it up and have issues please head over to the forum (liked at the top) and let me know if you need help. If you do end up setting it up, let me know how it works for you.

UShare

Irish-link:

Ushare is a great app for streaming to the Xbox 360 (well tested, with avi files), PS3 (not so well tested) and perhaps other UPnP clients.

Ushare has an issue: it does not refresh it's database periodically with new files or folders being added.

== Adding Files ==

So, any time you add any files to your movies/music/pictures folders, please restart it via the servers area (under Setup -> Applications -> Servers, with advanced settings turned on), or by hand as root, with

service amahi-ushare restart

We are considering issuing the research via a crontab every few minutes.

== Adding Folders ==

* Similar to files, modify the line with USHARE_UNION in:

/var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf
* Then

service amahi-ushare restart

== Logs & Other Goodies ==

* uShare logs are located at:

/var/log/messages

* To debug a problem, create the problem again and take a look in the /messages log file, this will show the problem at hand.

* NOTE: Even if you change the USHARE_IFACE in /var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf to eth(x) ushare on amahi only works with the default eth0.
The [ushare]server will show on your device but no content[movies,music].
