to check if it work, you should see 8000 port is opened for listening.

-netstat -l|grep 8000


Then in Paparazzi center, excute a session. Pass some parameters to server agent:

server -kml -kml_port 8000 -hostname 192.168.0.100(replace with you paparazzi center IP address)


It's done. Now in any computer in the network, open browser to access http://192.168.0.100:8000/var/airframes/(you AC name)/ you will see FollowMe.kml file, open it with Google earth. you will be able to see the real time flight information. the information updated are:
