I have recently discovered a neat PHP and AJAX powered, Web 2.0 standards compliant, Non-Intrusive shoutbox called YShout. It’s open source and anyone can download and install in onto their PHP supported webserver. Since the Yshout is AJAX powered you do not have to refresh the page, it’s dynamic! I just need to figure out how to format in to be in my sidebar. Anyway feel free to check it out on my site HERE.
I have changed the ability to see the persons IP address in the chat so that a person can not spoof another persons nickname. I also changed the log file extension to .html rather than .txt so that you can view the file correctly in a web browser. Here is a copy of my modified YShout: Modified YShout
To install all you have to do is install the yshout folder onto your webserver and it’s ready to go. Just point your browser to the folder and there you have it!
This is a quick tutorial to download, install, and run azureus remotely on a Linux machine. The purpose for this is to remotely que downloads on your Linux box without having to be at your box and then be able to logout of your box and keep azureus running in the background. It’s useful to be able to add/remove torrents remotely as well as check on each torrents status.
To start off you’ll want to make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on your box which can be found here, I installed the JRE version. You may have to compile java and put it’s location in your environment path variable. This may be located in your .{csh,bash,…}rc file depending on which shell you’ll be running azureus under.
Next you’ll need to download the Java version of Azureus which can be found at SourceForge’s Azureus – Bittorrent Client. You’ll want to pick the appropriate file which will probably be Azureus_x.x.x.x_linux.tar.bz2 which you’ll have to untar using the “tar -jxvf filename’ command.
Next you’ll need to grab 2 more files, placing them in the root azureus directory, to get the client to run without an XWindows session (from the command line). The most current of the two files, log4j.jar and commons-cli.jar, can be located here.
