====== Anyterm ======

===== Preamble =====
  * Anyterm provides a web interface to ssh. 
  * **Debian Testing (etch) is Required!!!!!**
  * A significant amount of memory (+128mb) is required for compiling
  * Compiling can be messy as there are several libraries required

===== Get Anyterm =====
http://anyterm.org/download/index.html

Download http://anyterm.org/download/anyterm-1.1.15.tbz2

 wget http://anyterm.org/download/anyterm-1.1.15.tbz2
 apt-get install bzip2
 bzip2 -d anyterm-1.1.15.tbz2
 tar -xf anyterm-1.1.15.tar

===== Install Pre-Requesites =====
Following the Instructions on http://anyterm.org/1.1/install.html
 
 wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rote/rote-0.2.8.tar.gz
 tar -xzf rote-0.2.8.tar.gz

And various pre-requesites, plus compiler:
 apt-get install g++
 apt-get install libncurses5-dev
 apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev
 apt-get install libboost-thread1.33.1 libboost-thread-dev libboost-dev
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>The latest versions in debian testing are required.
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>Maybe, libncursesw5 and make also.

Install ROTE
 cd rote...
 ./configure
 make
 make install

===== Install Anyterm =====
 cd anyterm....
 cd apache...
 make
 make install

It *should* compile with no errors. "make install" wont work if it goes wrong.
 vi /etc/apache2/mods-available/anyterm.load
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>add in this line:
 LoadModule anyterm /usr/lib/apache2/modules/anyterm.so

Copy the "browser" files from the untarred directory to /var/www/anyterm or /srv/anyterm.
There should be a .htaccess file already in this browser folder. Edit it and place something similar to:
 anyterm_command '/usr/bin/ssh -q %u@myserver.com'
 <nowiki>//</nowiki> %u is the apache authenticated user.

Other useful additions to this htaccess file are:
 SSLRequireSSL
 DirectoryIndex anyterm.html
 AuthUserFile /location/to/.htpasswd
 AuthName EnterPassword
 AuthType Basic
 require valid-user

Either use a htaccess/htpasswd user for a single login or study imap auth_pam

===== The Problem and Latest Version Working =====
Of course the latest Anyterm didnt want to work with my apache and setup. It was giving errors such as:
 [[Tue|Sep 12 17:49:04 2006]] [notice] child pid 26342 exit signal Illegal instruction (4)
 [[Tue|Sep 12 17:49:04 2006]] [notice] child pid 26342 exit signal Illegal instruction (11)

When I went back through the version - they didnt want to compile without more work.

Version "1.1.8 2005-12-28 anyterm-1.1.8.tbz2 (75k)" worked out of the box, perfectly. It was a case of wget'ing it, unzip, untar and make, followed by make-install.
