I can´t connect to my freenet-core. If I point my
browser to localhost:, i just get not found.
I started the freenet-daemon using the gentoo
freenet startup script, which certainly starts
an java engine, but I don´t know if it also start
freenet, since no log is written, and I can´t
connect to the freenet port.
Any suggestion?
Hi Steffen
I too am running Freenet from Gentoo (kernel 2.6.7), and my initial joy over
finding it in the portage tree and thus being able to simply emerge it was
quicly cooled by the fact, that the configuration E-build appears broken. It
would simply freeze after asking for my port number, and never get further.
This meant that the configuration file was never written.
I solved that problem by installing Freenet on a Windows PC and simply copy
the file freenet.ini to my Gentoo-box into /etc/freenet.conf.
I shall post it at the end of this mail. As you see, it looks pretty normal
apart from the file paths
seedFile=/var/freenet/seednodes.ref
diagnosticsPath=/var/freenet/stats
logFile=/var/freenet/freenet.log
nodeFile=/var/freenet/node
routingDir=/var/freenet
storeFile=/var/freenet/store
Here you can also see, where the logfile ends up.
Notice also that I have the line...
mainport.allowedHosts=*
... which allows everybody on the internet to connect to Fred through my
machine. This was only for testing purposes and should be changed to
something less dangerously.
Anyway - after you've gotten the freenet.conf taken care of (changed the
paths, entered your own IP and made a port redirect in your router for
whatever listenport you are using), it's simply a matter of starting the
thing
/etc/init.d/freenet start
And if everything seems to run smoothly, let it be started automatically at
boot...
Rc-update add freenet default
As far as checking whether it is running correctly, a ps -A should show you
not one, but a lot of java processes. And of course you should also be able
to connect to Fred in your browser.
Freenet runs very well on the Blackdown-JAVA that Gentoo installs - and so
does FIW.
Good luck,
J
