Hi all,
I have just set up a webserver on my A600, check it out here (http://viten.mine.nu:8080/).
I will try and add more things to it later on, like a script that shows free memory, uptime and similiar but for now this will do.
-
nice :)
-
Cool...
-
That is really neat! :-P
If possible please lets us know any tricks that you used in setting it up.

Wow! That really IS nice! I'm surprised at how fast it comes up too.

In only 2MB of memory, that's just nifty. I'm guessing you don't have a big fancy backdrop gracing your WB right now :-)
Once when I sold an A3000 on eBay (years ago), I hosted the pics of the machine and etc on the Amiga, and put a link in the auction "click here to see it working". I got a good price for that old 3000 :-) I used AWS as well, except it wasn't called AWS then. It was...um...Rexx something?
Anyway, IMHO running that on an A600 w/2MB blows the doors off that old scenario.
-
Absolutely Sweet! I would indeed like to do the same with one of my Amigas. Care to share your setup process to get this baby online?

As a matter of fact all I did to get it working was to install the software (AmiTCP and aws on a clean WB3.1 install). At first I tried to run it under Kick 2.0 and Workbench 2.1 but I couldn't get it to work very well, so I'm now softkicking 3.1 (loosing 512kB of precious memory)
I had some trouble finding a good version of aws but one of the authors who worked on aws back in the day was nice enough to send me a copy of aws 2.0b10 which seems to run very well :) . I sent another mail asking if I may offer this version for download, and am still awaiting an answer.

Actually aws is not written in Arexx, so I'm guessing it was some other webserver you used? I tried some Arexx-webservers first but they were very slow compared to this, the A600 is actually able of sending a file in 60kB/sec with this server which I find very impressive :)
-
It has the same horsepower as a modern broadbandrouter I think. Think if you could run AmigaOS on every router you could actually use it for something.
-
LOL... when I went to that page this is what I got....
Hello and welcome to Viten!
This machine is a Pentium 3 clocked at 667MHz, and it has 128MB RAM.
-
Then you're not connecting on port 8080, I'm redirecting port 8080 to port 80 on my A600.
*edit*
btw, which browser were you using? None of the browsers I have tried have failed to connect on port 8080, or do you have a firewall or something that prevents you from connecting on that port?
-
Great!
Although it's not a heavy site, only the thought that
you host it on the A600 matters for me!
Am an A600 fanatic and I'm damn happy to see these things.
I hope to see some new stuff soon on the site.

In case you are intrested i Amiga Web Servers we have one in Greece too.
http://www.amigahellas.gr
It runs on A1200 with Blizzard 1230IV + 68882
kinda slow but it will run on 68060 soon :)))
-
its fast cause its only 1 image and then text...
what all can you do with it? (capabilities of the server itself)? I have a A600HD I wouldnt mind running this on.

That's a damn lie. That A600 isn't even plugged in!

I tried many webservers while I was setting up this one and I must say aws is by far the fastest of the ones I tried. I get 60kB/sec on my A600 and when I tried it on my A4000 (description below :) I got 720kB/sec ...
I guess the posibilites are endless since it supports cgi-bins and rexx-scripting, but unfortunately I haven't gotten this to work yet.

Port 8080, gives me a Page Load Error... ergo nothing...
I am using Firefox... and my Firewall is not the problem...
-
Strange, it seems to work for everyone else, and I'm using Firefox to the test the page on my PC.
By the way, I updated the site and added a small cgi-bin showing current uptime and available memory.
-
Works now....
Uptime 15 min and 29 sec....
He He... last check was 18 min before that...
nice though...
-
lol this is great :banana: we should ask Wayne to move A.org to a 600 cluster, 50 x A600HD's or something :laughing:

Maybe you are thinking about gW3S (http://gonzo.1av10.nu/w3s/), which is written in ARexx?
-
Wonder if the same could done with an A500? No pcmcia port though....bummer.
-
I was thinking about the same thing too! Is there an "easy" way of connecting something that would enable the Miggy to connect to a standard network? Are there any homebrew solutions that actually work?
-

Yes yes, that's the one. Wasn't it called something else before? I remember it switched to a new open source license, which is kinda amusing since it's Arexx anyway :-)
-
Awesome! about 4 days uptime!
Its a little miracle . . . compliments :-)
-
I used AWS when I had my Amiga 3000. It was fast compared to most.
Great page! Never fails each time I come to visit it. :-)

@fx
That is cool :-D
Patrik was explaining some CGI stuff he was working on which gave me an idea, although I am not sure how feasable it is.
The biggest overhead for something like the A600 as a webserver with CGI is the running lots of executables to handle stuff.
So I had a silly idea that one could create a normal shared library based CGI system where each library has a 'public' API, but privately is implemented to do different webserver tasks, eg form parsing, guestbook etc.
To run one you OpenLibrary() it, call whatever fuctionality you need from it, then CloseLibrary() it.
The OS would keep these libraries in memory until it needed to flush some, so on the whole, accessing them would be much faster than launching executables.

Sheer coolness.

The first one I'm getting, right the one from the picture. Hopefully that mouse too. :afro:
-
It's actually powerfull machine, I can't tell you more than that. The design is not to say much more, better...
:roll: :idea: :-)
-
The angle, the angle.
:-D

Myself have done a small site with the sixhundred. 3-4 pages, small font, boing ball magic wb background. About me, the family and my cat. Mine was cool too.
Html was fast too.

the amiga 600 webserver has a new hostname, because the old one stopped working and dhs.org wanted me to pay money to reactivate it. here's the new host: http://viten.mine.nu:8080/ (http://viten.mine.nu:8080/)
-
Well now it's gone, you know that much.
-
I run an A1200 webserver too, with a Blizz 030 mkIII with 32MB of ram..
It runs thttpd, rc-ftpd and miamitelnetd among other things. Oh and it lives under my bed, only way I admin it is by telnetting into it :-)
Ive yet to get round to doing a stats page etc, but it does run a few websites, one of which is www.amiga.kicks-ass.org/newscag/ which is my usergroups website.
Oh and as for uptime, it'll stay up as long as I dont get an urge to play around with ixemul stuff :-)

You could always hack the A500's side expansion slot into a ZorroII slot (Aminet hack (http://main.aminet.net/package.php?package=hard/hack/2000slot.lha) ) and install a ZII ethernet card. It won't be cheap or pretty, but it'll work.
-
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say that I have now reached 100 days of uptime with my A600 :-)
-
Congrats - does this mean you get a telegram from the Queen? :-)

-
very cool, I got my 1200 to 76 days, then we went away for a week and Dad flicked the master power switch... so I lost the uptime :-/
Anyhoo, for those interested I've created a nice stats page for my server:
www.amiga.kicks-ass.org
Keep meaning to look into getting a message board on it, but im lazy :-)
-
hi, nice stats page, but it looks a little messed up in Opera :/ ... I made a screenshot which is quite high (and 827 pixels wide) but since it's only 27kB I'll post it here in the forum anyway...

@FX
Dig the uptime on your li'l server man... 100 days! Well, 101 in a few minutes...
