Setting up Ajaxterm with Lighttpd¶

Introduction¶

Ajaxterm is a web based terminal for Unix/Linux written in python.

Installation¶

Ajaxterm can be downloaded on the official homepage (open readme file for further steps) or installed using the package manager repositories of your distribution.

Configuration¶

'''/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf'''

Make sure mod-proxy is loaded:

server.modules = ( "mod_proxy" )

Configure module:

proxy.server = ( "/ajaxterm/" =>
        (
         ( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
           "port" => 8022
         )
        )
           )

'''/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-proxy.conf'''

#Your own proxy settings for ajaxterm

proxy.server    = ( "/cgi/ajaxterm/" =>
           (
            ( "host" => "127.0.0.1",
              "port" => 8022
             )
            )
           )

Files¶

Finally copy all files from the downloaded package (as described in the readme) or from ''/usr/share/ajaxterm/'' (if installed via aptitude etc) to ''/YourWebRoot/ajaxterm/''. Point your browser to http://yoursite/ajaxterm/ and login. Better use SSL for security reasons.
