When can we deploy the new wininstaller?
[02:19:53] <videomax> help me guys [02:20:00] <videomax> i installed freenet [02:20:29] <videomax> but it says Freenet starter was unable to control the Freenet system service [02:20:34] <videomax> what do i do? [02:21:21] <sdiz> videomax: windows? [02:21:25] <videomax> yes [02:21:28] <sdiz> xp or vista? [02:21:29] <videomax> windows xp [02:21:32] <videomax> 32bit [02:23:27] <videomax> using 1230 installer [02:23:52] <videomax> Reason: Service did not respond to signal [02:24:53] <videomax> i cant start freenet manually with net start either [02:25:24] <sdiz> check c:\program files\freenet\wrapper.log ... any error in that file? [02:25:48] <videomax> no errors [02:25:53] <videomax> STATUS | wrapper | 2009/08/17 21:23:32 | Freenet background service installed. [02:26:48] <sdiz> just one line, nothing more? [02:26:54] <videomax> nothing more [02:28:12] <videomax> I just tried installing it in C:\freenet [02:28:22] <videomax> like maybe the spaces in Program Files messed it up [02:28:26] <videomax> didnt work though [02:30:47] <videomax> im gonna try a reboot [02:30:52] <videomax> be back soon [02:36:39] <videomax> no such luck yo [02:36:51] <videomax> i am also running tor [02:36:58] <evanbd> videomax: tor shouldn't matter. [02:36:58] <sdiz> videomax: do you have java installed? [02:37:00] <videomax> do you think that is causing the problem? [02:37:05] <videomax> yes i have java [02:37:19] <evanbd> videomax: What version of Java by what vendor? [02:37:57] <evanbd> videomax: Also, do you have restrictive password / account creation policies in place, and are you running any antivirus / firewall apps? [02:38:17] <videomax> jre 1.6.0_07 [02:38:20] <videomax> from sun [02:38:32] <videomax> not running any antvirus/firewall apps [02:38:37] <videomax> i am admin [02:39:24] <evanbd> videomax: That should work. However, there are is a remote code execution vulnerability in that version of Java; you should upgrade *immediately*. [02:39:47] <videomax> whoah [02:39:53] <videomax> right when you said that [02:40:00] <videomax> the little update java box opned [02:40:02] <sdiz> videomax: uninstall it and install a newer version [02:40:14] <sdiz> don't update, just uninstall and reinstall [02:40:26] <evanbd> To be specific, you need 1.6.0_15 or later, or 1.5.0_20 or later. [02:40:36] <sdiz> hmm i means don't have the "upgrade" function... [02:40:43] <videomax> and then freenet will work? [02:40:43] <sdiz> uninstall it and install a newer one [02:40:56] <sdiz> it should work. [02:42:33] <evanbd> I wouldn't think Freenet would break because of that Java version; it's not that ancient. But it's worth trying, and you *definitely* want to fix it regardless. [02:43:52] <videomax> k [02:44:15] <sdiz> hmm it is not the java version, but the java installation [02:44:26] <sdiz> that's why i said uninstall/reinstall [02:46:05] <evanbd> sdiz: Weird. I'm glad I don't have Windows :/ [02:46:39] <evanbd> sdiz: If that's the issue, how hard would it be to generate a log message to the effect of "Your Java is broken; fix it." [02:52:44] <videomax> ok [02:52:51] <videomax> new version of java installed [02:52:56] <videomax> other is uninstalled [02:53:09] <videomax> should i reinstall freenet? [02:54:25] <videomax> ok [02:54:29] <videomax> reinstalled freenet [02:54:33] <videomax> still getting same error [02:56:16] <videomax> is there anything else i can do?? [02:59:44] <videomax> FATAL | wrapper | 2009/08/17 21:59:20 | Unable to access registry to obtain environment variables - The operation completed successfully. (0x0) [02:59:55] <videomax> im getting this error in wrapper.log now [03:03:51] <videomax> ah well [03:03:56] <videomax> i guess it waasnt meant to be [03:24:19] <evanbd> Sigh, he left :/ [03:24:35] <evanbd> My internet was acting up or I would have helped out... [03:25:46] <TheSeeker> Sounds like a (relatively) simple permissions issue. [03:25:56] <evanbd> Yeah. [03:26:03] <evanbd> Notably, *not* the same issue he had before. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
