[freenet-support] Couldn't load the FEC encoder

2002-08-17 Thread Chris Dennis

Hello Freenet People (or should that be Free Netpeople?)

I'm getting the following error when trying to insert a large file via
Fproxy and my Freenet node (build 494):

Configuration Error
Couldn't load the FEC encoder: [default_encoder]
A FEC encoder is required to insert redundant SplitFiles.
Check your configuration file...

I can't see anything relevant in freenet.conf, and I can't find any
references to this on the freenetproject website.

Can anyone give me a clue?

cheers

Chris

  This is not the latest build, but it should work if you can get

  the node.  Give it a moment to catch its breath, then try the four
  keys on the gateway page again.
 
 This would be very useful if I did not have to download a new jar
 everytime I stop FreeNet.  I strongly suspect that it involves conflicting
 copies of java; but working with java is about as isolated a project as
 working with FreeNet.  Most of
 the material is just too technical (read, jargon filled) unless
 one is about 75% of the way toward full understanding.

Um... what?  I have no idea what you mean by this.

If you're on Windows, you use the rabbit icon in the tool bar to stop
your node.  Then you can just overwrite the seednodes.ref file in the
directory where Freenet lives (usually c:\program files\freenet).  Then
restart Freenet however you usually start it (reboot, or
Start-Programs-Freenet-Freenet, or double-click an icon on your
desktop, or whatever).

If you're on Unix/Linux, you just kill the java process(es) that
constitute the Freenet node, overwrite the seednodes.ref file, then
rerun the start script as the appropriate user ID.

 This seems to be the largest problem with FreeNet.  It is assumed that all
 newcomes are acquainted with at least several friends that understand
 FreeNet as well as being trusting of
 distributing their file of node refs.  I've grown to suspect there is
 only one person in West Virginia that has ever heard of FreeNet (as used
 here or by Free-Net).

Well, you've got the mailing lists and the IRC channel (#freenet on
OPN-- err, freenode).

[freenet-support] What is wrong with restarting freenet

2002-08-17 Thread Nicholas Sturm




Error message with any attempt to restart after stopping freenet:

"Couldn't start the node,make sure FLaunch.ini has an entry javaw=pointing to javaw.exe oran entry Javaexec=pointing to a Java Runtime binary (jview.exe/java.exe)"

C:\Program Files\Freenet0.4 contains FLaunch.ini

Content of FLaunch.ini is:
"

"
I have verified there is a java and javaw in folder specified as above.

I searched for both java.exe and javaw.exe for possible conflicts, but I findno way that I can copy the output of the "find" to show the various places that files by these names exist, but there is a manual copy of search for java.exe:

"
C:\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\binC:\jbuilder5\jdk1.2\jre\binC:\jbuilder5\jre\binC:\jbuilder5\jre\jre\binC:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0\binC:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_01\binC:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\binC:\WINNT\SYSTEM32
"

There is an identical list to the above for javaw.exe
There are several copies of oldjava.exe and oldjavaw.exe in various folders.

Can anyone explain what is wrong?

I could reactivate freenet after a stop until i downloaded the C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0\bin

Now I can reactivate after stop only by going through the install, download freenet.jar and letting the installer restart freenet. 

Not a minor discouragement to attempting any significant exploration as I never have confidence of an identical copy of freenet.jar being active if I stop freenet for any reason.

2002-08-17 Thread Greg Wooledge

- Forwarded message from Nicholas Sturm [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

My only working method for restarting freenet after it is stopped in any
manner is to: execute the install program which downloads a copy of the
newest freenet.jar and that also starts freenet.  Otherwise I get an error
message which I've check as carefully as my knowledge permits AND all is
exactly as it says I should try to make the appropriate lines of the
configuration file.  So... I have only a very inefficient method of
restarting freenet.  So, as with most, I'm pretty much lost trying to make
any use of freenet.

- End forwarded message -

And I suppose it's totally beyond all rational concepts of human
thought that you could tell us what this error says?  Or what platform
you're using?  Or what Java VM you're using?  Or that you could hit
REPLY ALL instead of replying to me personally every time?

Christ.

[freenet-support] How to unsubscribe

2002-08-17 Thread Nicholas Sturm





I would answer this if I could, but I've not used lists frequently in the
last five years, and forget the procedure.Perhaps "unsubscribe" (without
the quotes) in the subject of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would
be successful.Perhaps the unsubscribe should be the content of
such a message.

 unsubscribe - can you tell me what to do please?

This problem seems to occur for everyone who updated java like you did. From 
what I hear, they are working it out already. I don't have much other 
information on this.
