Hi everyone. I am trying to install mindcloud 2.5 onto my website. I have hostgator hosting and SSH is enabled. My site address is www.hoy-pare.com it's a forum site but I figured that anything else that is there doesnt matter. hoy-pare is my main domain account and has the public_html folder for all of my other domains. There is only one cpanel account. I don't know if you need this information to answer the question, so I thought I'd include it.

Now through putty I was able to connect to my site via jailed shell on port 2222 and navigated through the directories to unpack mindcloud 2.5.

I followed instructions from a friend of mine. I unpacked. Went to src. I entered make. Everything was clean no errors. I made nohup ./startup 6025 and then went to try to connect to hoy-pare.com 6025 but there was nothing.

Does anything think they can help me? It's much appreciated thanks!

Can you connect via localhost on the server?

No. One problem I found out is my hostgator service does not allow this. So now I'm trying to install via cygwin. Cuz I want to access it using zmud. I can do it on ubuntu quite easily, but then the client I don't like haha

Dont use cygwin. There is a Linux called AndLinux that install in windows like a regular application and uses Xp as the linux desktop. things run at native speeds and you can connect to your running server via an ethernet tap using the Ip 192.168.11.150.

Andliunx will not give you any of the possible headaches associated with using cygwin because its native linux not emulation.

Is this "AndLinux" a virtual machine of some sort?

Robert Powell Australia Fri 18 Jul 2008 07:48 AM #5

No David, andlinux is a port of the Linux kernel to windows, to run Linux applications natively using windows as the desktop. The following is straight from the andlinux website.

Quote:

andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only). This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed.

andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.

andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.

You can install other software using synaptic from any debian repository and do everything you can do with a standard disk install of linux.

The thing i really like is that i do not have to dual boot any longer, i have access to GCC4.2 Kdevelop and all the other development tools i like to use in linux without emulation hassles that i face with cygwin.

Ultimatly this is Linux with a microsoft desktop, will all the power of linux. The only downside is that the initial install only includes the root user and for some that might be an area for concern, but if all your doing is working on code for your own pleasure, then its not something to worry about.

Thanks for the tip. I'm trying it out now. I'm having trouble assigning it a shared folder though. So I'm doing in an install without access to windows folders.

Cool, there can be some tricks to getting some parts working, i did the same as you and did not use shared folders. Also something that i found out at a late stage was to add .drv files to the exemption list in your anti virus software.

The .drv files are in essence the disk drives used by Andlinux and they are over 2Gig in size each, which if scanned by your anti virus will add 10+ minutes to startup and shutdown of andlinux and ultimately your computer.

If you have any other troubles just ask and i will do my best to help you out.
