Install Camfrogserver Advanced 6.0 On Ubuntu Linux This is an updated tutorial on how to install Camfrog Server on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).  When I first saw that Camfrog Server was released I was excited until I realized it was only for RedHat AS/ES 4.x 5.x, CentOS 4.x 5.x, Fedora 6.x 7.x 8.x operating systems. Then I realized you can convert rpm packages to deb packages using alien; you can even have alien install the rpm automatically after converting it.

Fixed Links.Thanks for keeping the tutorial up. Back up for good (for now): http://www.jmes.me/camfrogserver_6.1-17_all.deb

I'm afraid that www.jmes.me is down again.

Still, you can download a more recent version of camfrogserver and use alien to convert it to .deb.

On more recent versions of Ubuntu, the package ia-32 doesn't exist any longer.

But you can still install the 32bit libraries with:

sudo apt-get lib32ncurses5 lib32z1

Also, it would be nice if you could complete the tutorial, namely:

  • How to deal with logins/passwords and what each login/password actually does (there are at least 4 pairs of login/passwords, plus an extra one for each room!)
  • How to register with Camfrog to actually get your room listed on their service
  • How to configure rooms

Remembering readers that the webpanel is accessed with https:// and not http://

Your tutorial is nice from the perspective of someone who is already a genius with camfrogserver configuration and just needs a few hints to get it working under Linux. As I've never managed to install camfrogserver, I lack the knowledge to fill in the missing details.

Here are some additional tutorials. None of them lead to a working configuration, but they add hints here and there to go further towards the goal:

Some are for older versions of camfrogserver.

I am going to be updating the links with my new domain www.omrhosting.com
look for it in the /downloads sub folder here soon.
 
Perhaps I will write a tutorial on how to setup and configure the Camfrog Server service on Linux since they make it super easy for you in windows. Linux you are right, you really have to know what you're doing. 

 You can follow this guide on how to get the rooms running on CentOS linux:

 Like I said this guide is to help you get the program running on Ubuntu assuming you already know how to use the program on CentOS or Fedora.

 I suggest trying to install it on fedora or centos first and get to know the program before converting the rpm and running off a debian server.
