Hey, I'm not very good with servers and all so I apologize if what I'm saying doesn't make sense.

I have two android phones and want to use the older one as a sip server for a pbx home phone system. I'm trying to use csipsimple on the other phone and connect it to the server phone to make and receive phone calls with Google voice but its not working. I tried using the sip proxy and registrar server with csipsimple on my phone but nothing worked, so I have a few questions.

1. Is what I'm trying to do possible with this app?

2. If so, which sip server should I be using, registrar, proxy, redirect, stateful proxy, or all of them? (I tried googling this but couldn't find an understandable answer)

Thanks for reading this, I hope you can help xD
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=5952969]LucidSheep[/MENTION] Maybe someone with a lot more knowledge of SIP can help? I myself am not that much into SIP :)

For the rest, does anyone have ideas for new servers? We're a bit out of new ideas :)

Help with proxy server

Hi [MENTION=351905]sushiboy[/MENTION] i've been trying to set up my proxy server and connect to it but its not working, could you explain step by step how you set up yours and how you connected to it
[Android Apps and Games] LucidSheep:
Hey, sorry but I have another question.

I'm now trying to setup a VPN server on my android and use my other android as a client. When I click connect on OpenVPN, it says "OpenVPN: Waiting for server" for a few minutes and then OpenVPN connection timeout. The help file says to make sure port forwarding is setup correctly so when I goto my router homepage, I know I put the right port, 1194, but I'm not sure what to put for "Int Address - the destination address inside the LAN." Is this just the server phone's wifi ip or the client phone's wifi ip or my public ip address or something else?

Also, do I need to put anything for "Int Port-destination port inside lan" and "SRC Address-forward only if from this address" because this says optional on my router. Again, I tried googling this but I couldn't find understandable answers:( Any help would be appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=5952969]LucidSheep[/MENTION] Good questions. First of all, did you see anything red in the log when you started the VPN server? If so, please PM me the log.

About your forwarding questions:

"Int Address - the destination address inside the LAN." -> that should be the wifi IP of the android device running the server inside the network

"Int Port-destination port inside lan" -> Needs to be the port the VPN server is running on inside Servers Ultimate. If you didn't change it. it should also be 1194

"SRC Address-forward only if from this address" -> you shouldn't need to set it.

If you can't get it working try to run a web server and see whether you can access that one through the router with a forward rule. Let me know!

HI first of all great app!

I want to use this app as proxy server to allow me to connect fb youtube on office pc

I hv searched the reply history but cant find a solution....

Ok here is my situation

My phone use 3g network with no restriction

So i want to connect: work pc internet > > phone 3g network > > fb

I use chrome and swichy proxy on work station

Could u advise me how to do the setting?

Use simple proxy server?
[Android Apps and Games] hausinformasi:
I wanna make sure, can I do this?

-> turn my NTFS external HDD 2.5" in to nas using this app+Android?

(using smb server)

Thanks for the answer
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
In principle yes. That's if your system has no problems mounting the ntfs drive in the first place. I've done something similar with USB stick connected via otg.
[Android Apps and Games] brugobo:
I have a Minix Neo X8-H with a 128gb SDcard and I would love to use it as a fanless 2Watts home server so If would be great if the following to be implemented so I can sync and backup stuff when at home as a ghetto owncloud server:

- Firefox sync server (1.5) and firefox accounts server.

- CardDAV and CalDAV

- dovecot ( http://www.dovecot.org/ )

RATIONALE:

- I do not want my bookmarks, contacts, calendar and backup emails/documents to be stored in the cloud but on a local home server nobody can examine.

- I can live with syncing all my devices when at home, no need for 24/7 LTE/3G access from a public IP.

- IMAP servers like dovecot work well as searchable (if slowly) hierarchical folder email/snippets backup that I can share on my LAN across my devices without having to store huge local copies on each device. I do not need a full MTA just local connectivity and manual dragging of selected documents from my inbox to the local IMAP account. I DO NOT WANT to store individual emails as exported files on a SMB hierarchy, I want emails on an IMAP server that fully integrate with all my email apps across devices and update on the fly (by using same IMAP account).

I could implement CardDAV and CalDAV stuff by configuring/fighting the existing servers but a prepackaged turnkey solution would be great.

Just some food for thought :)
[Android Apps and Games] ವಾಸುಕಿ ನರಸಿಂಹ:
While configuring e-mail server, it says:

Public Connectable: No.

How to configure this?

My connectivity is like this: ADSL Modem (PPoE) >> WiFi Router >> (PC, Android etc.)

The android device has the WLAN IP 192.168.2.4 (android). I'm forwarding the ports 110, 1101, 25 & 2525 to 192.168.2.4. I'm not sure which port should be forwarded among 110 & 1101. So applied to both ports.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=340969]cyycolin[/MENTION] Best would be if you tried to use the VPN server included in the app. Please also have a look at the help files for the VPN server. Let me know whether you got that working.

[MENTION=4942238]hausinformasi[/MENTION] That should be possible as [MENTION=1488955]jdstrydom[/MENTION] also said, if your android device can access the storage device

[MENTION=5032049]brugobo[/MENTION] Great ideas, we'll look into it!

@ವಾಸುಕಿ ನರಸಿಂಹ Implementing an email server is quite hard, you will also need to set the correct dns settings for your domain.

Apologies for the late reply, we're hard working for a couple of days on our other app Synchronize Ultimate.
[Android Apps and Games] ವಾಸುಕಿ ನರಸಿಂಹ:
I have a domain name dedicated for testing. The domain is being pointed to the android device's IP address through DNS Exit. I see the same state (Public connectable: No) for SMS Gateway as well.

Congrats for the mention on Android Police about Servers Unlimited Pro being the Amazon FAOTD.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
+1

This should give great publicity to the app!

I'm curious, does Amazon still pay the developer something? Or the developer agrees to give an app as FAOTD for free?
[Android Apps and Games] Bait-Fish:
... And the front page of Slickdeals too! :cool:

I *think* Amazon picks and the dev doesn't have much if any say. I read something from an app developer posted a couple years ago saying why they pulled their app, this being part of their gripe.

Update: This is the post.

update x2: The Slickdeals got 186 thumbs up.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
@ವಾಸುಕಿ ನರಸಿಂಹ Could you try running a simple webserver and see whether you can get that one working?

[MENTION=4211058]Bait-Fish[/MENTION] Thanks! And thanks for letting me know about it, really awesome to see :D

[MENTION=4211058]Bait-Fish[/MENTION] [MENTION=5003130]sordna[/MENTION] They actually did ask us whether we would agree to it but we're not getting paid a single penny for it... We read a lot of negative feedback about development companies on faotd but decided to go for it since on Amazon we were almost not getting any paid downloads for Servers Ultimate Pro and thought it would be a great opportunity and increase publicity for the app/company. However, the faotd is now getting more attention (and downloads) than expected, which is of course good, but also decreases our target audience of potential buyers...
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I guess looking at your sales the week prior to today, and the week after today, will tell you if the publicity helped or not. Let us know on Sunday August 24 !
[Android Apps and Games] coolpeanuts:
Hi, I don't really have a grasp on servers at all. So I'm sorry if some of these are obvious, I did scan the forum first though. What I do kind of understand is the file transferring over servers. I don't really know the other possibilities? :confused:

I guess first, does one android device have to remain by the home network for all of the things to work?

I did see something regarding being able to use (or have it appear as) one's home network while away? Some apps and websites need to be through the home network connected with the account to work (IE TV apps). If this is something, does the device have to stay by the home network, or can it travel?

On my computer browser, I have something called foxyproxy, when you enter IP addresses, the browser thinks it's in those places (to the best of my understanding). Is there something similar in this app that I could set up?

I know this is a pretty good tool, I would like to learn how to utilize it in anyway!

I have an Ouya, Samsung Captivate Glide, and a sketchy Vizio Vtab, if that makes a difference

Again, sorry if I'm missing the whole point, or comparing apples to oranges, but thank you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bait-Fish:
Each server performs a specific task, providing that service. A web server will serve a web page or a whole website, depending on what you set up and supply. Servers Ultimate has so many servers, I would poke through to read their documentation or do a web search on each term to discover what each server's function is. Hosting a web page, storing files, or running a media server (DLNA) are all very useful, but it's really up to the individual and what they want to accomplish.

The server is set up on the device you want to host the content/function from. A phone or tablet uses far less electricity than a PC running. I find this quite compelling on its own. I have an old phone with a cracked screen that is still fully functional. I can keep that on and running servers and not think much of it.

There are limitations because the device is lower powered and WiFi connected, but Servers Ultimate has great potential.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
So we've almost finished a large update for Synchronize Ultimate and are looking into extending Servers Ultimate, so more ideas (as usual) are welcome :)

Here some ideas from our side, let me know what you think of it:

- Locale/Tasker condition and event plugin

- Fix import bug

...new servers? ideas are welcome :)
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
No feedback, bugs, ideas, questions? :p
[Android Apps and Games] Bait-Fish:
Final edit: Disregard everything below. It seems importing old servers and settings also imported whatever bug I was experiencing. All was good after force closing the app, clearing cache and data, and starting fresh! Sorry for the confusion.

I got time to play with my old phone and get a different ROM/kernel installed. I now have Tun.ko showing installed as shown in the Tun.ko Installer app. However, I still get the null error from the specific tab of the VPN. this prevents me from saving the VPN credentials or editing anything else for the server.

I haven't tried the server in nearly a year, but this is what I was experiencing then too. Starting and stopping the server appears to work, but is worthless without credentials for the client. Creating the server using either Simple or Servers menus from the main screen has the same result.

This on Android 2.3.6.

I think our last communication on this [MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] was via Email where you suggested the Tun.ko Installer app. That was my roadblock then, since my ROM didn't have Tun.

Edit: I just tested the VPN Server set-up process on a Samsung Galaxy S4 running AOSP 4.4.4 and it had no problems. I haven't heard of anyone else complain of this particular error here either so it makes me think it's something to do with the old OS version.

Edit x2: Forgot to mention that I have followed the VPN Help section information and run through the settings just to be sure nothing was overlooked. It works on my newer device but doesnt on the old one using the same procedure.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=4211058]Bait-Fish[/MENTION] Great to hear you got it working :D So you're also able to connect to the VPN Server? If you have btw ideas for the app let me know :)

More feedback is as always welcome ;)
[Android Apps and Games] alk12p54:
I try to connect a VPN server (i use for the test a samsung S3 rooted).

The client(windows 7) connects and i can ping the server from my pc(windows 7) but i cant see the files on the phone.

The log file has nothing wrong.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=6006789]alk12p54[/MENTION] A VPN server is something different than a file server. How do you try to view the files?

You can just run, for example, an ftp server on port 2121 and from your windows computer try to connect to the ftp server at the IP your vpn client gave (server IP) with the corresponding port.

Also, Servers Ultimate is temporarily 50% off so get it now at this incredible low price here ;)
[Android Apps and Games] quazimodem:
I got this app some time ago on Amazon's FAOTD... I've got a Sprint HTC One M8 and trying to host an FTP server using random ports def. higher than 1024 and I have had no success at all accessing it publicly. Has anyone found a way around this?

HI, I've tried a wordpress test site in my phone. Really fast! But i've a question. Inside wordpress admin area i've tried to update / install plugings via wordpress site and it has been quite impossible. Can PHP or Lighttpd server communicate with the outside? Any other server of the pack must be activate? Finally say that it is the best app i have ever bought. Love it.

Proxy

I'd like to use Servers Ultimate as a proxy to be used with public wi-fi (hotels, airports, etc.). I'm planning to use an old android tablet as a server to be left "in the basement" and to use it when needed.

I need those caracteristics:

-be encripted (so it's more difficult to sniff my traffic);

-be for personal use only (with a reasonable high security level, no IP based).

I managed to set-up a working proxy with no encription or access control but I can't figure out how to build what I need.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

"Command Line" tool

[MENTION=706513]Themuzz[/MENTION] - I am having an issue that seems a little odd an may have to do with context... In both the Command Line tool and the trigger server's command line entry trigger, the script I am running doesn't quite seem to work correctly. If I SSH into my stick PC and run my script, no issues. If I run the script from the app's command line tool, doesn't work. Tried with root on and off. My script is pretty simple.... It runs a curl command on a site, if the curl fails, it restarts my node server (compiled node for Android myself until it gets implemented in the app :)

Like I said, running it through a real terminal via SSH, the script works fine. No issue with the node server, no issues with running in the context of root (using "su -c '[command_here]'" syntax), but running that same script (again, either root or not root) does nothing. Any ideas? Oh, and I am calling the script like so "/system/bin/sh /system/bin/start_node.sh" from both command line and the command line tool in the app. I tried doing a "touch" on a file to see if the script is even getting run... no dice. My script file looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

start_server () {
su -c 'cd /path/to/node/server.js && /system/bin/curl http://www.myweburl.com -s -f -o /dev/null || /system/bin/node server.js &'
}

start_server

Where can I find the servers software version used in the package ?

Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] QuAn64m:
Problem with network speed:

I have the paid Version running on my k-r42.

I set up a dlna and a smb Server. I am connectet to my network via cable.

I always have slow network Speed when i copy files to the k-r42. ( or when i read files).

Streaming files from the Internet is fast.

All other devices in my network have fullspeed.

So i think its just the Servers being slow.

Help please:)
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
A bit of a late reply, apologies for that.

@alk12p54 A VPN server normally only providers a secure connection to tunnel your data through. However, to be able to access the files on your sdcard you need to run a server that allows you to. You could run an ftp, smb, sftp server and block it from the outside, next run a vpn server and connect to it from your client. After that connect to the ftp, smb, sftp server through the vpn server using your vpn clients endpoint ip address. Does that help?

[MENTION=577976]quazimodem[/MENTION] Did you read: Help>General>Connectability? [MENTION=4625579]Spotfist[/MENTION] How did you get it working?

@Mrinal Roy For what server? And is your device rooted?

@pacopolaco The built-in dns client for the php server is not working properly, that's why only IP's work and domain sites which wordpress tries to contact do not. Working on it ;)

[MENTION=6021132]zudrev[/MENTION] Maybe you can have a look at the VPN server, the encryption is really good and the connections are really fast. Just google online about a VPN server.

[MENTION=5799830]rguisewite[/MENTION] Seems like a bug, we'll try to fix it for the next release.

@Athlon2x Good questions, we'll implement a list for the next update. However, a lot of servers are also written ourselves.

[MENTION=3085019]QuAn64m[/MENTION] Could you try the SMB Native Server and let me know whether you get faster speeds with that one? Otherwise also try the DLNA Native server and let me know whether that one also gives faster speeds.

Looking forward to replies and of course more feedback ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zudrev:
After a little bit of research, I found out that a SSH server seems to be more secure (when using RSA Key autentication). Too bad that SSH server in Servers Ultimate is bugged (stops working after few seconds).
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=6021132]zudrev[/MENTION] That should not happen, what is the error you get? And did you disable the timeouts on the settings page?

More feedback on the app or ideas for servers are welcome as always :) And I'm also quite curious how the app is being used, so if anyone wants to share their usage that would be great. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zudrev:
I have a server with the same settings built using SSH server and it's working fine. I e-mailed the developers and they told me it's a bug with Servers Ultimate SSH engine to be fixed hopefully in the next update.

I don't get any specific error in the log file. The browser I use to access my SSH tunnel stops resolving URLs or IPs after a few seconds (mainly after I visit a web-page) and, after that, the SSH client disconnects. This happens only on Servers Ultimate: SSH Server works fine.

-Bugs aside, I use it as a SSH tunnel to be used when connecting to unsecure public wi-fi. I have an old tablet "in the basement" with the server running;

-I use the SMS gateway to send long texts via browser (and a phisical keyboard);

-Planning to build a RSS Feed Server soon (to replace the now defunct Google Reader and don't give folks at Feedly my data).

-Planning to build a VPN with web-filtering capabilities.

-Something capable of handling FAXes would be great ;)

How can I modify the default index file for the web server?

Edit: I already got the answer :laugh:

I had to edit the .shtaccess file
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
[MENTION=6021132]zudrev[/MENTION] Ok, thanks for the info. And also thanks for giving an idea on how you use the app, really appreciated! And about your usage, isn't the included VPN server a bit better for the use case? Or are you going to try that as well? :)

And how do you want to build an RSS Feed Server? It might be an idea for us to implement as server as well :) With regard to faxing, unfortunately that is not yet possible since apps can get access to the calling line on most devices (that's why call recording doesn't work on a lot of devices).

[MENTION=4522107]MDHACK[/MENTION] Great to hear you found it! Is everything working ok now?

More feedback or just a short reply on what you think of the app is more than welcome!

Using php I get this error:

my device has no problems achieving remote server by itself, so it seems like it app related issue.

query:

ping to google works fine from the device

gethostbyname("www.google.com"); returns surprisingly www.google.com instead of ip address

echo file_get_contents('http://74.125.227.113/');

works fine, but can't go this way

is there a way to use non-standard dns server to remap ip to it's domain? would be good for a hot-fix

okay, managed to get out of local space with curl, but now stuck with no ssl support:
[Android Apps and Games] zudrev:
I see VPN as less secure than SSH (authentication with password vs. private key). Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but I don't want a malicious user to use my tunnel/vpn.

Maybe I'll give it a try, just to know how it works.

I'm using a PHP server and a mySQL database running with Servers Ultimate. Then I installed "Tiny Tyny RSS" on my PHP server, granting access to the mySQL database. It's something similar to this project. The only problem I get has something to do with DNS (an error message says that it couldn't resolve host), haven't figured out yet if it's TinyTinyRSS's fault or my server's fault. Suggestions are welcomed ;)

I was thinking as something like those services that allow to send faxes via e-mail or by uploading a pdf file. Didn't think about receiving, thought.
[Android Apps and Games] MDHACK:
Yes, It's working good, but I'm having troubles when setting a SMB Server. When I try to access from my computer, it does no accept the username and password that I set up in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] grappapapa:
hi everybody :)

i do have some sort of problem - not with the app itself, but more with my thinking.

so, here's my situation:

phone: sony xperia z1 compact, locked bootloader, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4

connectivity:

phone: no mobile connection, only wifi, the wifi is not behind a dedicated firewall (it's a special wifi network separated from the "real" network)

computer: connected to the internet through firewall & proxy, which filters "unwanted" traffic

problem/question:

can the phone, using ultimate servers, be configured in such a way that it is used as a gateway for e.g. facebook chat? for example, run a server on the phone that connects to the facebook chat (xmpp should be it?) and then connect to that with a client like pidgin on the windows pc, thus eliminating references to "facebook" in the traffic that goes through firewall & proxy...

edit: a no-ip account is available, so the phone should be reachable from the WWW...

thanks in advance for any pointers ;)

regards,

chris
