I'm trying to get freenet running on my gentoo box. After running 'emerge 
freenet' I try to start it with '/etc/init.d/freenet start' I receive the 
following message:

 * To configure freenet, please run:
 * # ebuild /usr/portage/net-p2p/freenet/freenet-[version].ebuild

After looking around I found out that I should actually be:

ebuild /usr/portage/net-p2p/freenet/freenet-0.5.2.1-r8.ebuild config

I then get the following output:

 * Would you like to update freenet files now? [Y/n]

So I hit enter taking the default and get:

 * Preparing to configure freenet...
hostname: Unknown host
Freenet Configuration
Running in simple mode. Some preferences will be skipped.
You can choose the default preferences by just hitting <ENTER>

Setting: listenPort
The port to listen for incoming FNP (Freenet Node Protocol) connections on.

I gave it some random port number and pressed enter. It did nothing but go to 
the next line. After waiting a while I hit ctrl-c. When I reran it I got to 
this point and just waited seeing if this was just a notice and not a prompt. 
But after a few moments I pressed ctrl-c and received:

(interrupted by user -- ctrl-C?)
 * Congratulations, freenet is configured and up to date
 * use '/etc/init.d/freenet start' to start it
 * You can always re-update/reconfigure  your freenet with:
 * # ebuild /usr/portage/net-p2p/freenet/freenet-0.5.2.1-r8.ebuild config

My /etc/freenet.conf looks like:

ipAddress=
listenPort=11252
seedFile=/var/freenet/seednodes.ref
logFile=/var/freenet/freenet.log
storeFile=/var/freenet/store
diagnosticsPath=/var/freenet/stats
routingDir=/var/freenet
nodeFile=/var/freenet/node

After puting in my routers external IP address and forwarding the port I ran 
'/etc/init.d/freenet start. It seems to have started freenet but when I point 
my browser to 127.0.0.1:8888 I just get an error. It doesn't seem to matter 
how long I wait I still get  no response. I use Konqueror and the error 
message is:

An error occurred while loading http://127.0.0.1:8888/:

Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 (port 8888)

Is this a bug or just my own error?
