OVH Seedbox & Fedora

[fisherman]

Once u log into your server via putty type>>>> yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server


Now type>>> yum -y install wget

Now type>>> wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.7/utorrent.exe


Now type>>> vncserver :1 (it might ask u to enter a password, if it does just enter a password of your choice as you'll need it to log in via tightvnc)

Now type>> exit



Now open up tightvnc and enter you IP address BUT U have to put :1 at the end of it. And enter ur password



You'll now see a command screen so type>>> wine utorrent1.7.7.exe


Utorrent should now be open so enter the settings and set them whatever way u wish but go down to the "advance" tab and click "web Ui"... now put a tick it the enable web interface. Now enter a user name and password of ur choice so u can access it thru webgui. And also put a tick in the "Alternative listening port 8080 option" and exit.


Now go to this link and download the webui>>> http://download.utorrent.com/beta/we...310_beta_2.rar
Extract the Webu.zip

Now log into ur server via Winscp and browse to the folder below and drag the extracted webui.zip into the utorrent folder.

>>> /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/root/Application Data/uTorrent



Now finally copy ur IP into ur internet browser like this and you'll be good to go >> http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/gui


Now enter ur user and password and ur set.

Hope that made some sense and can help u out somewhat

Tell ya what i can't understand is I was with Tzulo going way back and the great thing was if you wanted to do a re-install there was an option for it. Not only could u do a re-install but If I was running Fedora and wanted Centos, I could choose re-install and choose Centos and bam!! within less than 15 minutes i had a re-install of a different OS.

Most big providers want DAYS notice to do a simple re-install of ur OS.

Even to request a re-boot it can be teethious so the simple solution instead of requesting a re-boot is to log into your server via putty and simply type reboot
It will say the server is going down now and that it!!!



Good l.uck in getting set up soon but I hear they can have really crap waiting times : \

[mummysboy]

I can confirm that the promised 1 hour to get my box was 12 hours ago and still going.

But as im testing all their support lines at the min its not proving a problem. They can take as long as they want - im going to have it for 12 months, i can wait a couple of days if needbe.

[SgtMajor]

Well I followed everything up there, and I'm in. 12 months seedbox for nothing - nice

One thing - the torrent exe file is utorrent.exe and no numbers, had me going for a while that did

I was well informed to install MC, (midnight commander) - Norton Commander for old DOSsers like me!

So how does one install & run programmes, and some ideas for good stuff would be welcome

And does WinSCP do something similar though - add & remove files & directories?
