I'll add my little bit to the Alcheminer community on this - I just went through the process of installing Minera and getting it going on the Alcheminer; here's the exact steps:
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo apt-get remove apache2
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd php5-cgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo service lighttpd force-reload
sudo apt-get install -y redis-server git screen php5-cli php5-curl
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/michelem09/minera
cd minera
sudo chmod 777 conf
sudo ./install_minera.sh
sudo ./upgrade_minera.sh
sudo nano build_miner.sh
Replace the contents of BFGMINER_CONFIG with "CFLAGS=-O3 --enable-scrypt --enable-alchemist --disable-other-drivers --enable-broad-udevrules"
sudo ./build_miner.sh bfgminer
sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Go in and change the contents of server.document-root to "/var/www/minera"
sudo service lighttpd force-reload
Now the one tricky part, you need to replace JSON_PRETTY_PRINT with 128, you can search to find the files using this string:
grep -r --include \*.php "JSON_PRETTY_PRINT" .
As of right now, that's these files (ignore matches in the logs directory):
application/models/util_model.php
application/controllers/app.php
application/views/settings.php
-------
With that, you'll have an install of Minera that actually works well, and is running the latest BFGMiner as well.
Here are my settings in Minera:
Select LTC/BTC as your Altcoin Price
Data tables set to 10 (shows all the blades)
Section panels, all off except Local Miner, Local Pools, Shares Chart, System Load and Hashrates chart
Pool Settings - add your pools
Local Miner - select BFGMiner
Set to Manual
Turn on "Append JSON conf"
In manual options, set it to this: "--scrypt -S ALC:all -S ALC:/dev/ttyO1 -S ALC:/dev/ttyO2 -S ALC:/dev/ttyO3 -S ALC:/dev/ttyO4 --set ALC:clock=336"
on API Allow, add "W:0/0"
Miner Autorecover on
Miner Superuser on
Set your system hostname to whatever
Set your timezone to whatever
-------
And now you have a nice and fancy updated interface to go with that spiffy firmware jstefanop did!
