[freenet-support] New Wiki is online
Hi, As many of you might have noticed, the Freenet wiki had been offline for several weeks now. I turns out that the reason behind this was a site-wide database upgrade from mysql 3 to mysql 4 at Sourceforge, which broke many things. The bad news is that, apparently, there is no way to get at the data from the old wiki again. It's lost. The good news is that nextgens has set up a new (empty wiki), this time independent from sourceforge. The new wiki can be found at http://wiki.freenetproject.org and uses the same software (Wakka) that the old one used. While we're on the subject, I think the choice of Wiki software needs to be reevaluated, and soon. In my opinion, the software has too many small and annoying bugs and shortcomings. Considering how little I've actually used it the first time around (it wasn't around for very long, after all), I've been confronted with cryptic error messages and unpredictable and illogical behavior far too often. Also, I think that the markup this wiki uses is among the least logical and useful I've seen yet. I'd like to ask everyone who reads me to try out the new wiki (in the sandbox) and post their opinions here, maybe accompanied with suggestions for alternatives. My personal suggestions for alternatives are: - MoinMoin This is a simple and very reliable wiki engine that is used by quite a number of people, among them freedesktop.org. It is highly customizable and its popularity makes it likely that newcomers will already be familiar with its markup. It doesn't use a db but instead stores its data in flat-files, which the freenet devs frown upon. - MediaWiki This is the wiki that runs wikipedia.org. It uses mysql as the backend. Everybody who has ever used Wikipedia will know his or her way around this one. Guido -- Mailing list archives are not a proper form of documentation.

Sure, but I strongly recommend you not uninstall ZoneAlarm on a windows box. Unless you just install linux instead. :) On Mon, Nov 21, 2005 at 08:39:28PM +0100, Level 13 wrote: > Then I guess it was either eMule's fault or Zone Alarm's. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.

The general concept is similar to freenet 0.5, it even uses FEC and borrows CHKs from it. It's in C++ and is a "from scratch" project with its own routing etc, which sounds to me like it might use a DHT, so a better comparison might be Entropy.

There are a few other oddities like using HTTP transports instead of just TCP. Bob

[freenet-support] Re: Can't access page
Hi, I tried what you suggested but with no success. Meanwhile I'm down to maxNodeConnections=40 and maximumThreads=20 but still the same. I can't get the page at port and (also without trying to access that page) I find these exceptions in the logfile: java.lang.Exception: debug at freenet.support.io.NIOInputStream.read(NIOInputStream.java:319) at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at freenet.session.FnpLink.negotiateOutbound(FnpLink.java:637) at freenet.session.FnpLink.solicit(FnpLink.java:202) at freenet.session.FnpLinkManager.createOutgoing(FnpLinkManager.java:111) at freenet.ConnectionJob.run(ConnectionJob.java:378) at freenet.ConnectionJob.createConnection(ConnectionJob.java:78) at freenet.node.ConnectionOpener.checkpoint(ConnectionOpener.java:95) at freenet.node.states.maintenance.Checkpoint.checkpoint(Checkpoint.java:54) at freenet.node.states.maintenance.Checkpoint.received(Checkpoint.java:47) at freenet.node.StateChain.received(StateChain.java:177) at freenet.node.StateChain.received(StateChain.java:61) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler$ChainContainer.run(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:335) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler$ChainContainer.received(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:288) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler$ChainContainer.access$100(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:207) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler.handle(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:99) at freenet.Ticker$Event.run(Ticker.java:325) at freenet.thread.YThreadFactory$YThread.run(YThreadFactory.java:285) 23.11.2005 08:23:46 (freenet.node.http.DistributionServlet$DistributionRequest, YThread-22, NORMAL): RouteNotFound Fetching (running) freenet:CHK at 7fWN2TWdHoIODoxCeD1OebVdUB8QAwI,uLq58BoeKATpIJFa8PCiJA as freenet.exe for DistributionServlet 23.11.2005 08:23:49 (freenet.support.io.NIOInputStream, YThread-41, NORMAL): waited more than 12ms in NIOIS.read() tcp/connection: 52489>85.76.130.228:3768,freenet.transport.tcpConnection at 1e28fe3:freenet.support.io.NIOInputStream at 154a2e6- closing java.lang.Exception: debug at freenet.support.io.NIOInputStream.read(NIOInputStream.java:319) at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at freenet.session.FnpLink.negotiateOutbound(FnpLink.java:637) at freenet.session.FnpLink.solicit(FnpLink.java:202) at freenet.session.FnpLinkManager.createOutgoing(FnpLinkManager.java:111) at freenet.ConnectionJob.run(ConnectionJob.java:378) at freenet.ConnectionJob.createConnection(ConnectionJob.java:78) at freenet.node.ConnectionOpener.checkpoint(ConnectionOpener.java:95) at freenet.node.states.maintenance.Checkpoint.checkpoint(Checkpoint.java:54) at freenet.node.states.maintenance.Checkpoint.received(Checkpoint.java:47) at freenet.node.StateChain.received(StateChain.java:177) at freenet.node.StateChain.received(StateChain.java:61) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler$ChainContainer.run(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:335) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler$ChainContainer.received(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:288) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler$ChainContainer.access$100(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:207) at freenet.node.StateChainManagingMessageHandler.handle(StateChainManagingMessageHandler.java:99) at freenet.Ticker$Event.run(Ticker.java:325) at freenet.thread.YThreadFactory$YThread.run(YThreadFactory.java:285) > --- Urspr?ngliche Nachricht --- > Von: Bob > An: support at freenetproject.org > Betreff: [freenet-support] Re: Can't access page > Datum: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 14:45:13 + (UTC) > > writes: > > > Hi, > > > > I'm running the freenet-client on a dedicated and therefor headless > server > > (Fedora Core 3, JRE 1.5).
