Starting Litecoin Pool on Windows

[regular]

I've been trying to start up a litecoin pool for my apt to run with some friends in my apartment.  What would be the easiest way to start on a windows machine that my neighbors can connect to my computer and mine?

I'm not familiar with linux at all so it would like be a lot tougher and I do want to keep my primary machine windows as I have games and apps that require it.  Thank you.

install litecoin
configure via litecoin.conf to add an rpc username and password
have everyone mining use your http://machineip:9332 and the username and password when mining

How would I change the port to 80?  This is my config so far:

server=1
rpcallowip=*
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=80

To run the server, do I run litecoin-qt.exe?  or do I have to run litecoind?  Finally can people connect to me with cpuminer?

I've used the above config and even when litecoin-qt gui is running, cpuminer can't connect.  Secondly, running litecoind, I just get a black screen that closes by itself after a few seconds.

for litecoin-qt, make sure litecoin.conf is in the same directory as you executable and that should work

for litecoind.exe , I normally specifiy everything on the command line

litecoind.exe -conf=c:\myconf.conf -datadir=c:\mydatadir -port 0000 -rpcport=0000

Not a good idea. restrict this to your local network, which would generally be 192.168.x.0/24 (255.255.255.0)

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=80

set rpcport to a value higher than 1024. You may have an application already bound to port 80 (Personal Web Server, or IIS.)

check the db.log and debug.log to find out why. These are located in %appdata%\litecoin.

thanks I got cpuminer connected and working.

How do I keep track of when I find a block?  Secondly, does the payment go directly to my wallet?

Secondly, is there native long-polling support on litecoin-qt when I run it like this?

Thanks.

The block will appear in your wallet as a transaction and then after its been confirmed ( 120 ) you will be allowed to spend it.

so would everyone use the same username and pass?? I know this is ancient but im working on the same thing unless theres an easier way to set up a private pool. Thanks

Hi,

Can anybody answer me, why I have this problems with connect to litecoind pool?

I am using litecoind to whitch I have connect several computers from different networks. Everything seem to be OK, besides that I can´t connect more then 3 computer at the same time. Why? Is the some kind of connection restriction in litecoind?

I am using litecoind with next configuration:
rpcuser=xxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxx
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=8080
deamon=1
server=1
maxconnections=500
gen=0
block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493


Please, excuse my english.

Thanks
