Web Control

[ffsmith20]

I have 7.6.21 loaded on a Fedora 39. Ip address of said machine is 192.168.1.5. I am trying to use web control from another pc on same network and I use http://192.168.1.5:7396 all I get is a blank webpage.

Here is my config.xml file

<config>

<!--Client Control-->
<fold-anon value="false"/>

<!--Folding Slot Configuration-->
<gpu value="false"/>

<!--slot Control-->
<power value="Full"/>

<!-- User Information -->
<user value="********"/>
<team value="**"/>
<passkey value="**********************"/>

<!-- Folding Slots-->
<slot id="0" type="CPU"/>

<!--Remote Web Access-->
<allow v='192.168.0.0/24'/>
<command-allow-no-pass v='192.168.0.0/24'/>

</config>


Not sure if I have the config file set right any help would be appreciated. I do have the port 7396 open on the nix box.

FAHControl can be used to control remote clients if port 36330 is opened. Not sure if remote web client works.

The v7 Web Control is not set up to work remotely like FAHControl. It can be hacked to work, someone posted on that a few years ago. But I don't recall the details beyond that it could be flaky, and can't currently find those old posts.

The v8.3 client's web based control is designed to be used this way. I haven't set it up myself, but there are others here who have.

The preferred and far more capable v7 tool is FAHControl.
But you will need python 2 or the 3rd party fork for python 3.

If you want to use the v7 web control anyway, your config.xml needs

Code: Select all

<allow v='127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24'/>
<deny v='0.0.0.0/0'/>
<command-allow-no-pass v='127.0.0.1'/>
<web-allow v='127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24'/>

If you don't include 127.0.0.1, you lock out localhost access.

The command-allow-no-pass line will probably disappear from config.xml when the client re-saves it.
All options equal to their built-in default get removed.
