If you haven't configured the node yet then the gateway page indeed shows
http://localhost:/
By 'configured the node' I mean, as part of the install process, entering
your node's details. If not then there's yer problem. If not tried 0.3.9.1
yet - anyone confirm that the install script does indeed run the
configuration tool?
In particular the following entries ought to be present in freenet.ini for
the gateway page to load:
services.fproxy.class=Freenet.contrib.fproxy.HttpHandlerServlet
services.fproxy.allowedhosts=127.0.0.1
services.fproxy.port=8081
Of these, the services.fproxy.port is a *necessity* or else the freenet
systray utility doesn't know what port fproxy is running on. If this is
present it will correctly use http://localhost:8081 . If it is missing it
will default to just http://localhost:
The location of the java interpreter doesn't actually make a difference. I
think that's a bogus find. When you try and launch the gateway page, the
freenet systray icon doesn't even look at java. It just reads freenet.ini
to get the port number nnnnn and opens the http://localhost:nnnnn page
I would suggest using the latest freenet.exe because I vaguely remember
there were some strangenesses in the way the previous version handled some
paths. I think maybe it sometimes had difficulty finding freenet.ini.
Can't remember for sure. The latest freenet.exe adds features anyway -
like actually letting you know if the freenet node is running successfully
or not. And also shutting freenet down properly when you choose 'Stop'
rather than doing a TerminateProcess() on it causing it to leak resources
that are never cleared up...
