[freenet-support] Re: What does a map-file look like?

 You are right - that certainly seems to be exactly what I am looking for (if
 we exclude J.Lo's private phone number...). But where is that information
 actually located? It is not in the HTML-source of the page. Could it be in a
 special file with a name that FIW can somehow deduce from the URI of the
 main page?

In Freenet there is no such thing as a file (surely, in your
datastore there are files, but there needn't be. E.g. Freenet 0.4 used
one large file as datastore). Every key in Freenet can have 2
different portions of data. Metadata and Raw Data. While tools like
FProxy and FUQID usually show raw data to you (since metadata is for
internal purpose) that does not mean there is no metadata saved.

Another example: In modern OSes (including Windows NT, 2k, XP) you can
add file permissions to a file. They are not saved inside that file
(you'll notice that when you look inside before and after you edit it)
and they are not saved in some special file either - they are simply
saved in the file system (where file names are saved as well). Or, on
XP, you can even assign real metadata to a file, like an author
name, which will not end up inside that file. (If you copy that file
onto a CD-ROM or floppy disk and then copy it back, the author entry
will disappear).

And similar to these kinds of metadata in file systems, Freenet has
things like that as well - it is just used for different purposes.

If that helps you, just think of two files behind every freenet key
- one for metadata and one for data. (Actually this is wrong, since
both metadata and data of one key will always be saved on the same
Freenet node, while two different keys don't need to)

 When ever I try to submit a freesight at the end fiw says unable to
 build a map file. 

That is most likely a FIW bug (since *building* mapfiles has nothing
to do with Freenet, only inserting them). Please post some more
information (contents of the report-log and logfile.log) to the
FIW mailing list. Thanks.

You might also check that the main page for the freesite is named
index.html (lowercase) - there is some bug in current FIW version
that makes trouble if there is a file Index.html or INDEX.HTML.

 I keep getting errors like this when browsing Freenet:

 The network is busy, please try again later.

 Couldn't connect to the network. Are you sure you have configured Freenet 
 correctly? Also make sure that you are connected to the internet.

 A tcpdump shows that I am indeed connected to the Internet, and there is 
 plenty of slack bandwidth. I can get some Freenet sites. What could the 
 problem be?

Switch the web interface into expert mode and you will get a more
helpful (for developers) error message.
