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.

nice

Cool...

[AmigaEd]

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.

It runs on A1200 with Blizzard 1230IV + 68882

kinda slow but it will run on 68060 soon )

[TheMagicM]

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.
