Turns out Stephen was right, the issue was the freenet.ini file. The list below holds all of the settings that specify a directory. As you can see, all but ssl.sslKeyStore and node.install.storeDir specify full paths from the root directory. Why is this? From my understanding they all should refer to the local directory (for portability) or there should be a single one that sets the absolute path for all the code to inherit. Why do some refer to the local directory, but most refer to the absolute directory? ssl.sslKeyStore=datastore/certs node.masterKeyFile=/Applications/Freenet/master.keys node.downloadsDir=/Applications/Freenet/downloads node.install.userDir=/Applications/Freenet node.install.tempDir=/Applications/Freenet/temp-43346 node.install.pluginDir=/Applications/Freenet/plugins node.install.persistentTempDir=/Applications/Freenet/persistent-temp-43346 node.install.cfgDir=/Applications/Freenet node.install.runDir=/Applications/Freenet node.install.nodeDir=/Applications/Freenet node.install.storeDir=datastore _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
