Instructions to get the open source AdWhirl server up and running.
IntroductionGetting the server up and running isn't the most difficult task, but it definitely isn't trivial either. DetailsBefore you do any of this, make sure you have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. Your two options for instructions:
The instructions refer to a prebuilt AMI. The details for the latest version are below:

is there a new AMI ID since the servers repo has been renamed?
I can't get my server running. It's mainly complaining the domain doesn't exist. ie "users" domain. Do I need to do something with the Manifest? I don't see that being used anywhere in the instruction.
Domains are the SDB equivilant of MySQL databases. You can create these manually in your AWS account, or run the setupSdbDomains() method in Invoker.java. I'll make this more clear in the README.
I can't run the server in my linux server not in Amazon Web Services. Is it right ?
You can run AdWhirl? in any environment that has Java, however, it is best to run in AWS as you will likely incur significant data transfer costs otherwise.
That ami (ami-ca54bea3) is still correct. I just double-checked and made sure that it is public. Maybe there was some temporary glitch?
what do you mean by sigifigant data costs?
running on my own linux vps with 1TB transfer for $10 a month seems way cheaper than that would be on AWS so i am confused why AWS is better?
You have a vps with 1TB transfer for $10/month? Where is the world did you find that find of deal?
Also, the transfer costs I mentioned are the costs that AWS will impose on you, in addition to your normal transfer costs. Data transfer within AWS's is free, but AWS will charge you for SDB data that goes out of their network.
It looks like when I bundled the AMI it didn't save my mounted directories - my bad. Try running the following two commands and restarting the webserver.
I've added this to the README as well.
mkdir /var/www/html
mount --bind /root/adwhirl-servers-website /var/www/html

Is the ami(ami-ca54bea3) still working? I always got a message "Client.AuthFailure?: Not authorized for images: [ami-ca54bea3]" when trying to run the instance of the ami.
Looks like someone accidentally switched the visibility to private. I've gone ahead and made it public again.
Hi all,
I just set up adwhirl server on AWS. The server started without error, and I was able to sign up for an account (my user ID showed up in SDB domain users_unverified). But, I never receive the verification email. Is this related to the old spam blocking issue? Is there a workaround, say can I manually activate my own account?
Yes, you can manually activate your account by emulating the confirmUser function in UserUtil?: http://code.google.com/p/adwhirl/source/browse/inc/class/UserUtil.php?repo=servers-website
where can i download the website source code. In download section there are sdk for Android and no downloads available for server website
find public website serves
@hemant.chaudhari : please follow the instructions for cloning the source code to your computer here, using hg: http://code.google.com/p/adwhirl/source/checkout?repo=servers-website
We don't have downloadable packages for the web site source. But cloning is essentially the same as downloading.
