Webserver doesn't work under Linux (mint 17 x64). (http://localhost:8000)

nmap report the port open : 8000/tcp open http-alt

but nothing...

    I think the issue is background mode. FUSE library runs in background mode by default. The webserver runs in another thread and I think this thread isn't getting started because of that. Try running mlvfs with the -f option.

    Thanks! That worked, also I should add that when I started it without -f it did open a socket listening on 0.0.0.0:8000, but the browser would just sit and wait for a response forever.

    Now I need to figure out how to daemonize this and reduce samba's CPU usage (I'm using an older and somewhat CPU-constrained server).

    Interesting... If you launch mlvfs with -f, suspend it with ctrl-z and put it to background with <bg> the webgui still work.
