Hi, Yesterday I downloaded the Freenet software and tried to run it the first time.
In the README, it is told that the script "start-freenet.sh" would ask config questions when run the first time, but this is untrue: it will simply fail. The error message tells you to try again, with "./start-freenet.sh --config" . So, I left the README apart. My second attempt was "./start-freenet.sh --config" A process was then launched in the background (java -server freenet.node.Main --config &) but it almost immediately filled the stdio with and endless repetition of "listenPort [some_number_dont_remember]" which I could only stop by invoking "./stop-freenet.sh" on another terminal. On the IRC channel #freenet, I was then suggested to launch > export CLASSPATH=freenet-ext.jar:freenet.jar > java -server freenet.node.Main --config" by hand. This worked indeed! After a few additional trials with the script, I understood that the problem with "start-freenet.sh --config" has to do with the backgrounding of the java invocation that is done by start-freenet.sh . Backgrounding from the prompt will not trigger the problem, however. It would be nice if the README reported a correct sequence of steps for initial configuration. So many new installers would be happy ;) Giuseppe _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
