I've been knocking my head out for a while on this one and have read many tutorials, but I just can't get this to work. Ajaxterm, is a webbased SSH client; once installed apt-get install ajaxterm and then enabling it with /etc/init.d/ajaxterm start I should be able to access the SSH terminal with http://mywebsite:8022/

But doing so only gives me a "Page not found", any suggestions?

My actual VPS is: http://173.244.205.160


My sources: https://secure.kitserve.org.uk/content/setting-ajaxterm-Ubuntu-and-Debian-powerpc

There's something about the concept of ajaxterm that scares me. – Tom O'Connor Apr 19 '11 at 10:10

By default Ajaxterm only listens on localhost:8022 so it won't be listening on your VPS's IP address:8022. You have to install and configure Apache if you want to access it on an address other than localhost:8022. Fortunately the second link you provide contains instructions for doing just that.

EDIT:

I don't know Debian - hopefully Ubuntu will be close enough.

  • Create a vhost file e.g. ajaxterm in /etc/apache2/sites-available and add the configuration from the Ajaxterm wiki.

  • Enable the vhost with a2ensite ajaxterm

thanks for clearing that up. On the page linked, it says "Put the following in an Apache vhost file" where can I locate this vhost file? – Kevin Duke Apr 19 '11 at 9:11

thanks lian -- I really appreciate this, some hold up though, pastebin.com/B2DFQLyB it's saying I have an Invalid command 'SSLEngine' in apache2? however I haven't touched that file. Here is my apache2.conf pastebin.com/cMq12nZr – Kevin Duke Apr 20 '11 at 0:06
@KevinDuke: You may need to put NameVirtualHost *:443 in your apache2.conf file – Iain♦ Apr 20 '11 at 5:39
hmm I added that in a random location and I get the same error. sorry I'm so stupid, any suggestions? – Kevin Duke Apr 24 '11 at 7:29
