Linux install.

[zfer]

Hey, got a bit of a problem.



"For Linux: With installer: http://flexhub.org/wiki/index.php/Linux_Installation "
"To install in normal mode, all you have to do is run the selfextracting installer. (Original filename: FlexHub.run) "

Now I have searched the hole place, and i just cant find this installer..

Correct, there's no installer anymore, that text will be removed.

FlexHub doesn't need installing, just unpacking is enough.
You can use curl to this for you:

curl http://flexhub.org/downloads/FlexHub_0.1_1146_linux.tgz | tar xvz

I see, no wonder i couldnt locate it


Still cant get it up and running though, nothing happends when i do; "./lua ./FlexHub.lua" tried giving it different options, but still nothing...
Any ideas?

[FlipFlop™]

You need to start this command from terminal window in the folder that contains lua.so and FlexHub.lua

Are you sure that nothing happened? An error message is something happening too, so if you had one, please specify it. That helps to determine the problem.

Even i tried was having the same tried draging the 2 files one by one on terminal  by sudo etc still hub could not work

[FlipFlop™]

Linux is hardly a drag and drop environment, you need to type the command in a terminal window, from a folder you created to install FlexHub in. The install using curl can that way even be used through an SSH connected terminal.

Hyea, no nothing really happend, all though a little win-operation solved it, i had to reboot ubuntu, guessing some libs needed it.
And after this it worked like a charm, so its now up and running and no errors so far

Btw, what does these patterns in feed stand for, [HI] [FI] ?

Thanks

zafer or flip can u give step by step information installing it on linux if the folder is on desktop plz
If possible that u  can provide it with pic that will be easy to understand

[FlipFlop™]

Once again, don't try to use it from desktop.

It's Linux, get some basic knowledge about how to use a terminal window, then create a folder called FlexHub and use that curl-line.

this is how i do it from start to finsh

wget http://www.flexhub.org/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=42
tar xzf filename
cd /FlexHub
chmod +x lua
./lua ./FlexHub.lua

This tutorial is from peter from flexhub support hope the way it  helped me it will help others  thank u Peter

Since im not the only getting stuck at the startup of flexhub on linux i will post this i followed peters instruktions to the letter.


chmod +x lua     in the command promt goes but no reply and after that    ./lua   gives this one    INFO starting lua.lua [pid 18797]  Error  cannot open lua.lua: No such file or directory    INFO: stopping lua.lua

And im the flexhub folder lua.so is in there and when trying  ./FlexHub.lua    BASH permission denied       im using linux mint x86 version 12



And now i have tested the same thing on ubuntu 11.10 updated and ready tried sudo so any sugestion on what to do since i doubt the windows version will ever get the encryption bug fixed

As mentioned in the readme.txt, to start the hub, goto the FlexHub folder and use:

./lua ./FlexHub.lua

Using just: ./lua  or ./FlexHub.lua won't work.

[Juckpuck]

thanks i assumed that ./lua and ./FlexHub.lua was two diffrent commands to be used seprately now it works

[Hamachi]

How I do it:

cd /path/hub && chmod +x lua && screen -d -m  ./lua ./FlexHub.lua --nogui --sport=1234 --port=

USE NO GUI: --nogui
SET DEFAULT TLS PORT: --sport=1234
REMOVE DEFAULT NOT TLS PORT (Port 8000): --port=

I only use tls port for my hubs
