[freenet-support] How to configure Freenet on a headless install?

[freenet . mexon]

I'm trying to get Freenet running on my server.  I follow the
instructions here:

http://freenetproject.org/download.html#unix

After installation, of course I need to access the web interface over
the Internet (actually, over a VPN).  There's a link at "Read the FAQ on
how to enable web-access from a remote computer."  The link is broken,
there is in fact no such FAQ.  This is bad.

I figured out how to manually edit freenet.ini after googling up this:

http://emu.freenetproject.org/pipermail/support/2008-March/001727.html

But I still only get access as a dumb user.  I can't configure anything.
 How can I get the right to alter Freenet settings?

[freenet-support] Resized datastore, now all my connections have gone?

[freenet . mexon]

Hi,

I'm at a loss on this one.  A few days ago I tried to resize my
datastore down from 40G to 30G by editing freenet.conf.  But now the
thing won't connect to anyone.  There aren't any errors in the log, on
the console, or in the web interface that I can see.  It's just not
connecting.

I tried pinging some of the machines in the seednodes, and a couple of
them were visible, so the network's OK.  I'm not behind a NAT, although
my ISP switches my IP address once a day (which worked fine before).  I
had a firewall running (which also worked fine before), but I've turned
it off and it made no difference.

I'm running Freenet 0.5 Build 5107 under Sun Java 1.4.2_08.  The machine
is running Debian Sarge.

My last trick was to try moving away the store to store.bak and starting
again, on the grounds that maybe my screwing with the datastore size
broke something.  But that doesn't seem to have made any difference either.

Any ideas?

Here's what's in freenet.conf:

listenPort=12378
seedNodes=seednodes.ref
storeSize=30G
outputBandwidthLimit=12000
mainport.bindAddress=*
mainport.allowedHosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.64.0/24
fcpHosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.64.0/24

And here's a log file:

[freenet . mexon]

Sorry for the noise.  I just realised that I should be binding to the
address of the machine that Freenet is running on, not the address of
the machine I want to give access to.  That works now.  I added this
info to the wiki.

[freenet . mexon]

Whoops, sorry for repeating an earlier question - I did look at the
mailing list archives, but somehow didn't notice it.

I set this in freenet.ini:

fproxy.bindTo=192.168.64.135

But I get an exception when I try to start the node:

Apr 23, 2006 10:21:14:155 (freenet.node.Node, main, ERROR): Failed to

Did I do something wrong, or is this just alpha bugginess?

[freenet-support] Accessing Freenet 0.7 node over LAN?

[freenet . mexon]

I have my 0.5 node set up to allow me to use fproxy and FCP over the
LAN.  This is because my server is up 24/7 and is the best place to run
my node, but my desktop is the better place for browsers and Frost.

I just tried 0.7, and couldn't find anywhere in the configuration page
to do this.  Is this feature planned before 0.7 is released?  Can I
manually add a line to freenet.ini for this?

The relevant lines from my existing freenet.conf that I want to
reproduce are:

mainport.allowedHosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.64.0/24
fcpHosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.64.0/24
