[X] My Assistant

Using a Tut to get h@h running on a Vserver.

Here's how I used to do it... get any of the 100Mb/s dedicated boxes. Stick with the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and the United States they're fast and where I keep my servers. I've got multiple 10Gb/s connections and I can safely say I've never seen H@H break 80Mb/s for a single server.

Go here:
[www.xirvik.com] http://www.xirvik.com/fastethernet_dedi.html

Instead of seed box for "Configure As" choose "Plain server with Root"

ask for them to install ubuntu 64bit 12.04 LTS

you'll get a login and password and an ip address

download [the.earth.li] putty

run putty: type in the IP address under "host name" and hit "Save" then hit Open

login to your server using the user account given

type: sudo apt-get update (this will update your repositories sometimes Xirvik's data center's don't use the latest version if you get prompted that updates are available you can type sudo apt-get upgrade to install them. Linux unlike Windows virtually never requires rebooting.)
type: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre (when you type in "sudo" this is like running something as administrator in Windows -- it'll ask for the password that you used to log onto your server with type that in)
type: sudo apt-get install zip
type: sudo apt-get install screen (screen is a program that will allow you to continue running a program after you close your SSH session - this is how you are connected to your server when you follow these steps)

create a folder called H@H (command: mkdir H@H)

type screen

type cd H@H

type wget http://hentaiathome.net/get/HentaiAtHome_1.0.10.zip

type wget http://hentaiathome.net/get/sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar

type: unzip HentaiAtHome_1.0.10.zip (linux has something called tab completion you can type in "Hen" and hit tab and it'll type the rest)

type: sudo java -jar HentaiAtHome.jar --disable_logging (disable logging the log file can get out of control sometimes)

H@H will now be running it'll prompt you for your user id, your key and the like.
Next time you want to view the status or restart your H@H client you'll need to type screen -x
Other things that are useful:

You can use this server for Hentai@Home proxy just enter the ip address/port and key under "My Home" on the gallery homepage (g.e-hentai.org) "My Settings" area. Under "Hentai@Home" set the H@H server to "All Networks Allowed [Restricted - Passkey Required] (Not Recommended)"

The following is very cool as well. You can use the server to download files through the Hath Downloader. See this post for details.

Also you've now got a 100Mb/s server with a dedicated IP address. There's a lot you can do with it.

If you want to easily manage your server you might check out a program called Webmin and if I remember I'll write up how to use WinSCP to do all sorts of awesome scripting related to H@H.

Nload is a very easy to read bandwidth monitor

You may want to check the next post for additional information.
If you find any of this post useful hit the karma button... for some reason I don't have a lot.
Update: steps updated to include screen steps. Also including update / upgrade command. Changed Java version from 6 to 7 as 7 is newer and therefor better than 6 which is old.

I finally managed to log in as root!

Managed to do everything up to:

CODE

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

here is saids:

CODE

root@Ichy:~# sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to locate package openjdk-7-jre

Someone hold my hand and guide me through this hell please!

yes I did. It said:

CODE

Reading package lists... Done

"sudo apt-get install default-jre" got me teh same error:

CODE

Unable to locate package default-jre

You can skip the "sudo" when you are root.

If default-jre fails, post the results of:

CODE

apt-cache search jre

You can skip the "sudo" when you are root.

If default-jre fails, post the results of:

CODE

apt-cache search jre

It waits for a second and then nothing happens, just a new root@Ichy appears.

Ichy,
Please also try to give us the full output, it often helps.

For example:

yes I did. It said:

CODE

Reading package lists... Done

"sudo apt-get install default-jre" got me teh same error:

CODE

Unable to locate package default-jre

written as this (note that my server have the jdk-7 so I used a random name intead):

CODE

root@fuji:[~]# apt-get install random-pkg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package random-pkg

You can skip the "sudo" when you are root.

If default-jre fails, post the results of:

CODE

apt-cache search jre

Tiap is 100% right, this shall help us to diagnose your problem.
And also try:

CODE

uname -a

so we know the version of your ubuntu.
My suspicion is that you got a server with an old ubuntu and probably it will only have only jdk-6 (not the jdk-7).
PS: jdk-6 will be enough to run h@h so do not worry.

EDIT: Sorry forget it.

It waits for a second and then nothing happens, just a new root@Ichy appears.

Ok I tried:

CODE

root@Ichy:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory
root@Ichy:~#

CODE

root@Ichy:~# apt-get update
Reading package lists... Done
root@Ichy:~#

CODE

root@Ichy:~# apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Unable to locate package openjdk-7-jre
root@Ichy:~#

apt-cache search jre ---> nothing happens

CODE

root@Ichy:~# uname -a
Linux Ichy 2.6.32-042stab063.2 #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 16:24:09 MSK 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ok I tried:

CODE

root@Ichy:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory
root@Ichy:~#

Ok, looks like the server got configured to store the repositories somewhere else.

The following shall tell us you where the suorces.list fiels is located (I hope)

CODE

apt-config dump | grep 'Dir::Etc'

CODE

root@Ichy:~# apt-config dump | grep 'Dir::Etc'
Dir::Etc "etc/apt/";
Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list";
Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d";
Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list";
Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d";
Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf";
Dir::Etc::netrc "auth.conf";
Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d";
Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences";
Dir::Etc::preferencesparts "preferences.d";
Dir::Etc::trusted "trusted.gpg";
Dir::Etc::trustedparts "trusted.gpg.d";
root@Ichy:~#

Try adding a repo manually. Assuming you followed the first post and installed Ubuntu 12.04:

CODE

mkdir -p /etc/apt; echo 'deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main' > /etc/apt/sources.list

Then start again from the "apt-get update" part.

Very good, thanks Ichy. We have the diagnosis and the cure:

CODE

root@Ichy:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory
root@Ichy:~#

and

CODE

root@Ichy:~# apt-config dump | grep 'Dir::Etc'
Dir::Etc "etc/apt/";
Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list";
Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d";
Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list";
Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d";
Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf";
Dir::Etc::netrc "auth.conf";
Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d";
Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences";
Dir::Etc::preferencesparts "preferences.d";
Dir::Etc::trusted "trusted.gpg";
Dir::Etc::trustedparts "trusted.gpg.d";
root@Ichy:~#

Your atp-stuff (apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, etc) is configured to use /etc/apt/sources.list but the file does not exist. In other words your advanced package tracker (apt) have no repositories to talk to.

The cure is easy, we will use apt-add-repository to add some ubuntu repositories. I will ask you to give me some time now to search for the correct repository for the version of ubuntu you are running (I don't wanna be responsible for breaking your brand new server).

From:

CODE

root@Ichy:~# uname -a
Linux Ichy 2.6.32-042stab063.2 #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 16:24:09 MSK 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can see a bunch of stuff about the operating system of this machine. But if you can tell me more about it, for example what the owners of the hardware itself told you the operating system is it might be helpful.

Will be back with you within a handful of hours.
If anyone knows the correct repo for this ubuntu version please fell free to post.

I have [Stock]Ubuntu 11.10 x64. It is the newest version Bytesized has...
maybe aim fucked because of this?

CODE

root@Ichy:~# mkdir -p /etc/apt; echo 'deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main' > /etc/apt/sources.list
root@Ichy:~#

does nothing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

/edit: oh new post. brb will edit soon

It did something! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

You shall be able to follow with the rest of the tutorial now including

CODE

apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

Good luck,
Thanks again for Tiap,
if you struggel again shout,

noooooooo!

Ekhm... crap,
lets try again that one:

apt-cache search jre

if it does not give any output we will dump more repositories (it might be that jre/jdk is in third party not main repository)
