Hi Guys,

Very new to all this F@H stuff but thought it sounds interesting enough to try and help out.

I have a quick question if you don't mind. I have a dedicated linux server in a data centre that I use for FTP and email mail duties. It's a P4 2.8 GHz with 1gig of ram and gets very little use. Would it be worth running F@H on that?

If it is could someone tell me if I need to open any ports in my firewall to let it report back data? I installed the client to test as per the sticky and I think it is running okay (see log file info below) but I am not sure about ports. I guess it uses port 80 for grabbing the WU? but what about the return path?.

Second question. How can I remotely monitor the progress? I looked at FahMon 2.2.0 but not sure how that would access my server unless I put the F@H working folder in the public HTML path and accessed it via a URL.

Anyone else out there that runs F@H on a remote linux dedicated server that can give me a few pointers?

Cheers

Many thanks for the help guys but I have decided to just run F@H on my home PC instead so I could join the single CPU number crunchers :D

I may try it on my dedicated server again so will bookmark the info for future reference.
