RE: [freenet-support] HELP!
Assuming you are on Windows version... You probably still have freenet running. Check for an icon in the tray associated with freenet. Click it and try turning it off. If that does not work try ctrl-alt-del and end any task that seems to be a part of freenet. Then try deleting the freenet directory. That usually solves the orphan problem. In the future try avoiding the running of experimental wear on a production machine (i.e., you principle machine you need to have in working condition). - Original Message - From: SAMARA BLUM To: support@freenetproject.org Sent: 7/9/2005 6:52:15 PM Subject: [freenet-support] HELP!

Really the idea of installing Freenet on Windows such that the code is in Program Files and the data is elsewhere is pretty surreal. If you're going to those lengths on windows, then (you're a fool, but) just create a user for it and put the files in a dir owned by that user. > > If I then run freenet with administrative rights, I find that freenet is still > writing a file called 'node' to the executables install directory.

Your whole assumption here is that of a separation of data (per user) from executable (global). This assumes that it is installed in one place and then each user has their own instance with its own data. This is insane for a daemon such as Freenet. However it is possible to do what you want, by moving routingDir. > > Now, how do I repoint the remaining writes from the install directory to > locations of my choosing? > > For the time being, I will be using freenet in transient manner and since I > use > a Users account virtually all of the time, it is most inconvenient to have to > log in as an administrator just to make freenet work.

Just install it as Administrator (or any other user, in its own directory - you need freenet.jar, freenet-ext.jar, seednodes.ref and that's about it), and access it through the web interface. It will seriously suck if you can't give it reasonable uptime anyway. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.

[freenet-support] freenet does not work with non-Administrators users on Win32
I've installed freenet using freenet-webinstall.exe on a Windows XP Professional SP2 computer using an account in the local Administrators group. The install is in the default Program Files location. I need to run freenet from an account in the Users group. By default, data and configuration files are written to the install directory, but Users do not have write permissions for the Program Files tree, nor should they. It is exceedingly poor development practice to write data or configuration there - please change this!!! I then used NodeConfig to repoint storeFile, tempDir, logFile, and diagnosticsPath to more appropriate locations where Users can have write permissions. Unfortunately, I get the following errors in the log in spite of these changes: java.io.FileNotFoundException: node-temp (Access is denied) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at freenet.node.Main.writeNodeFile(Main.java:3075) at freenet.node.Main.spawnNode(Main.java:1034) at freenet.node.Main.main(Main.java:908) 28-Jun-2005 10:08:49 PM (freenet.node.Main, main): Caught java.io.FileNotFoundException: node-temp (Access is denied) running or seeding node java.io.FileNotFoundException: node-temp (Access is denied) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at freenet.node.Main.writeNodeFile(Main.java:3075) at freenet.node.Main.spawnNode(Main.java:1034) at freenet.node.Main.main(Main.java:908) Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: node-temp (Access is denied) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at freenet.node.Main.writeNodeFile(Main.java:3075) at freenet.node.Main.spawnNode(Main.java:1034) at freenet.node.Main.main(Main.java:908) 28-Jun-2005 10:08:49 PM (freenet.node.Main, main): Unexpected Exception: java.io.FileNotFoundException java.io.FileNotFoundException: node-temp (Access is denied) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at freenet.node.Main.writeNodeFile(Main.java:3075) at freenet.node.Main.spawnNode(Main.java:1034) at freenet.node.Main.main(Main.java:908) If I then run freenet with administrative rights, I find that freenet is still writing a file called 'node' to the executables install directory. Seriously folks, this is simply wrong! Despite what those idiots in Redmond think, daily computer use should always be with an account having only Users rights, not Administrators. One simply does not allow user writes to a directory containing executables! Obviously, freenet testing is not being performed in the correct environment. Now, how do I repoint the remaining writes from the install directory to locations of my choosing? For the time being, I will be using freenet in transient manner and since I use a Users account virtually all of the time, it is most inconvenient to have to log in as an administrator just to make freenet work. There is no reason why freenet should require administrator rights, so even when I run it 24/7, it needs to work without them. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[freenet-support] freenet-webinstall.exe proxy settings used incorrectly
After 2 days of trying to install freenet on my WinXP Pro SP2 box, I need to get the following off my chest: 1. I dislike web installers like freenet-webinstall.exe with a passion. It is nonsensical for me to have to repeatedly download the same files over and over again just to install the application on multiple local computers. Please consider a standalone complete Windows installer. 2. I want to know the version number of what I am about to install *before* I install it. The freenet web installer gets me "the latest" and that tells me nothing. It doesn't respond to command line options as far as I could tell, so built in help is unavailable. 3. There is no documents I could find that detail what the web installer will download and from where. If there were, perhaps I could have made things work manually. 4. Okay, this is the *big* one. The reason the installer would not work for me was because it was using web proxy information obtained from the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings In my case, the proxy settings in that key pointed at a non-existent proxy server on the localhost. When I originally installed WinXP on this machine, that proxy server did exist. However, at a later date I used the global policy editor to assign overriding proxy settings for all users on the system. These global settings pointed at a new proxy server. The result is that the settings in the aforementioned registry key are supposed to be no longer used or relevant. From my experience, all applications that depend on the Internet Settings for their proxy information, adhere to that rule... until now. I do not like applications that use Window's Internet Settings because this means I have no individual control over the various applications that use it. But, if you're going to use those settings, *please* use them correctly! I had to use Registry Monitor from the Sysinternals folks to figure out where freenet-webinstall.exe was getting its information (after spending hours figuring out that it was using bogus proxy settings in the first place). 5. Where is the source code for freenet-webinstall.exe? As far as I could tell, it's not in the source code tarball. Perhaps it's in CVS, but I didn't find it (possibly because of my unfamilarity with CVS). Maybe it's not open source? 6. With no easily archived complete installers, how do I roll back to a specific earlier version? 7. Although there are no direct pointers to it, I was able to look at the contents of the freenet distribution server here: http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/ I can see various loose files there, some of which are downloaded by the web installer. What versions? Don't know. I know they are not all the same as identically named files in freenet-latest.tgz, but why not is a mystery to me. There is no manifest for the directory and the MD5SUM file is out of date and missing almost all of the expected entries. At the time I did my downloads, seednodes.ref differed from the identically named file in the Linux download. So, I am about to try Freenet itself. If I wasn't so keen to try it, I would've given up long before I came to a solution. From what information is available on the web for Freenet, it is an intriguing solution to a variety of problems. But, the available information is already lacking in terms of making things easy for new users. The weak installation tools and information only make things worse.
