My Amiga 600 webserver

[fx]

Hi all,

I have just set up a webserver on my A600, check it out here.

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.

If possible please lets us know any tricks that you used in setting it up.

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.

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?

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

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?

what all can you do with it? (capabilities of the server itself)?  I have a A600HD I wouldnt mind running this on.

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.

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.

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/

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say that I have now reached 100 days of uptime with my A600 :-)

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...
