The [[WebVNC]] package is for easily setting up a web-page that let's readers access a Java applet for VNC connections. VNC is, simply put, graphical remote control desktop software. With a Fedora-based Amahi install, it takes a few steps on the server to 1) install the package, 2) turn on desktop sharing.
'''Note: This allows anyone with network access to this machine to connect to your session, if they know the password. Be sure this is what you want.'''
== Install the Package ==
For now, the steps are just documented. But when the web app installer is complete, this will be much simpler :)
* Create an alias using the webapps setup tab. Call it "webvnc". It will create a folder: /var/hda/webapps/webvnc
* Log into the machine as root, change directory to /var/hda/webapps
* Download package: wget http://spatialguru.com/files/amahi/webvnc.tgz
* Extract package: tar -xzf webvnc.tgz - this should create files in /var/hda/webapps/webvnc/html/...
* Set user permissions so that Amahi can clean up later if needed: chown -R apache.apache /var/hda/webapps/webvnc
That should be all you need to do for the web application setup!
== Turn on Desktop Sharing ==
* Log into the computer running HDA, e.g. as a normal user
* Select SYSTEM menu, then Internet, then Remote Desktop
* Turn on the top two "sharing" options, turn off the "Ask for confirmation" option, but set a password below it.
'''Note: This allows anyone with network access to this machine to connect to your session, if they know the password. Be sure this is what you want.'''
== Using the App ==
You should now be able to access: [http://webvnc http://webvnc]. Give it a minute to start up, then enter your password.
Leave any questions or discussion on the [[Talk:WebVNC]] page.
