Anyone interested in testing an aria2 webUI?

[curaga]

I've been working on a light webUI for aria2, for remotely controlling downloads.

Anyone interested in testing?

http://a2web.sourceforge.net

Quick install on busybox httpd:

tce-load -wi compiletc aria2 fcgi fcgi-dev xmlrpc-c-client
make
mkdir -p ~/www
COPYDIR=~/www make copy
cp a2web.conf.sample ~/www/cgi-bin/a2web.conf # set the theme path as "/a2web/crystal", busybox doesn't like regular files under cgi-bin
httpd -f -p 8080 -h ~/www

hi curaga
how to setup with lighttpd.tcz ?

[curaga]

I don't have my test setup at hand right now, but you need to add "mod_cgi" to the server modules, and assign .cgi to nothing:

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin" {
    cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "" )
}

Note this is the CGI setup, I haven't tested FastCGI with lighttpd.

[curaga]

a2web.tcz now posted.

Busybox httpd instructions shorten to:

tce-load -wi a2web
# edit config file as needed
httpd -f -p 8080 -h /usr/local/share/a2web

I also tested lighttpd FastCGI, seems there's a bug in lighttpd's passing of SCRIPT_NAME (it passes it fine in CGI mode) or in libfcgi. Not too interested in tracking that down ATM, so lighttpd users please use the CGI mode.

Hi Curaga,

I will test the extension and report the result here,

[curaga]

I have found the bug in fastcgi. It was in libfcgi's printf. The fixed packages haven't been uploaded yet, I'll ask danielibarnes first.

Here's an example lighttpd conf, in fastcgi mode:

server.document-root = "/usr/local/share/a2web"
server.port = 80

server.modules = ( "mod_access", "mod_fastcgi" )

server.username = "nobody"
server.groupname = "nogroup"

server.errorlog = "/tmp/light.log"



mimetype.assign = (
         ".css" => "text/css",
         ".js" => "text/javascript",
         ".png" => "image/png" )

fastcgi.server = ( ".cgi" =>
      (( "bin-path" =>
         "/usr/local/share/a2web/cgi-bin/a2web.cgi",
         "socket" => "/tmp/a2.socket"
      ))
      )

fcgi.tcz is updated, fastcgi should work with all supporting servers.

hi curaga,
i have tested a2web.tcz and found no problem so far,
thanks

i tried to run a2web under xampp

Code: [Select]

Firefox can not connect to server localhost:6800i stopped xampp, installed busybox httpd and did as adviced here

Busybox httpd instructions shorten to:

tce-load -wi a2web
# edit config file as needed
httpd -f -p 8080 -h /usr/local/share/a2web

Code: [Select]

# set a2web.conf
sudo /usr/local/httpd/bin/httpd -f -p 8080 -h /usr/local/share/a2web
firefox http://localhost:6800/rpcbut result is the same

Code: [Select]

Firefox can not connect to server localhost:6800most likely my hands are growing from other side
probably it would be easier for me to build something with gui from here
http://sourceforge.net/directory/freshness:recently-updated/?q=aria2
this is reason why i sometimes use fatrat

[curaga]

6800/rpc is where aria2 is running, you should point firefox to 8080, where a2web is running

"firefox localhost:8080"

[AbNoRMiS]

i made the following

Code: [Select]

sudo cp -f /usr/local/share/a2web/a2web.conf.sample /usr/local/share/a2web/cgi-bin/a2web.conf
sudo cp -f /usr/local/share/a2web/a2web /usr/local/share/a2web/cgi-bin
sudo sed -i "5,6s/^# //" /usr/local/share/a2web/cgi-bin/a2web.conf
su ${TCUSER=`cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser`} -c "aria2c --enable-rpc"
sudo /usr/local/httpd/sbin/httpd -f -p 8080 -h /usr/local/share/a2web -u $TCUSER:staffas result i get 404

Code: [Select]

firefox http://localhost:8080http://pastehtml.com/view/c6xeioq1o.html
or desired a2web but without theming

Code: [Select]

firefox http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/a2web.cgi
i again did something wrong?

[curaga]

Sorry, I occasionally assume too much. Here's a step by step, for the busybox httpd extension. Note the config file editing is not necessary for other web servers.

Pre-step: Run aria2 --enable-rpc, maybe from a boot script.

1. tce-load -wi a2web busybox-httpd
2. cd /usr/local/share/a2web/cgi-bin
3. sudo cp ../a2web.conf.sample a2web.conf
4. Uncomment the themedir path and add a / (just like in the first post, /a2web/crystal)
5. firefox localhost:8080/cgi-bin/a2web.cgi

edit: Your current setup only misses making the theme path absolute, ie add a / to the theme path's start.

here i wrote daemon a2webd for a2web

Code: [Select]

Usage: a2webd [start|status|reload|restart|stop]this script examines configuration files
a2webd.conf, aria2.conf (if exists)
and a2web.conf (or creates it if does not exist)
then starts aria2 if not running another instance
and starts busybox httpd with a2web.cgi
if can't find already running a2web.cgi
on another already configured http server
more details as it works is specified in comments

a2webd has configuration file a2webd.conf
which created with default options
at first start if did not exist before

Code: [Select]

# a2web.conf

# path = /path/to/a2web.cgi
path = /usr/local/share/a2web/cgi-bin/a2web.cgi

# uri = [http://][[password:]user@]server[:port]/path-to/a2web.cgi
uri = http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/a2web.cgioptions should be changed on your own
(such as user and password for http auth)
to launch busybox httpd with a2web.cgi
or according to already running on other server

i tested and seems it work well
maybe you look how it works
and consider its inclusion to extension a2web.tcz
or maybe also to a2web distribution if it can be applied

[curaga]

a2web.tcz, a2web - sure, I can add it.

I see that you check the aria2 conf file for the dir option, and pass it on the command line too. Why? Is there some bug in aria2 that prevents the dir option in the config file from working?

[AbNoRMiS]

indeed most likely that there i'm reinsured
i think that aria2 has no such error
i'll check this and most likely this can be removed

and when i rode to home then i thought
that not very well written search for path to busybox httpd
if this will applied for different linux distributions
i'll work with all this tonight and upload corrected version

i also thought how would better
automatically define prefix variable
rather than set it tough...

also i still can't imagine universal method
to user determining for different linux distributions
and if nothing will come to mind then so far leave it as is
