Re: [freenet-support] How to force freenet to use a non-default java
If you're running the jar directly, you could just hardcode the path to Java in front of it. i.e. instead of typing 'java -jar freenet.jar' you could type something like '~/bin/java -jar freenet.jar'...and you could put that into a shell script or some kind of shortcut to make it easier. If you're launching with the shell script (is there a launcher shell script anymore?), you could just change where it calls java and hardcode your own location as above. If you're already launching Freenet from a shortcut of some type, try right-clicking or looking around for some way to edit the command that it's running and make the changes I've suggested above. I realize this is all bit vague - I haven't used 0.7 (well, tried it a few times, always returned to 0.5), and I also don't know what kind of system you're running, but hopefully that will give you a general idea. If you have any specific issues or questions about what I've said, I may be able to help you out further.

[freenet-support] How to force freenet to use a non-default java
I don't have root access to my machine. I installed Sun Java 1.6 in my own user directory. I created a java a soft link in $HOME/bin. But I cannot put $HOME/bin ahead of the other libraries in $PATH. How can I force freenet to use the java version in $HOME/bin?

If I understand you correctly, if I copy the "freenet" directory/subdirectories from machine A to another machine in a different geographical location, say machine B, I don't need to do anything but start the service (run.sh start). All of my configuration files, trusted friends, etc. will be duplicated from machine A to machine B. Then, a new KEY will be issued by machine B that I can use to make friends with machine A.

You shouldn't run into problems doing a direct copy, assuming you change the four ports mentioned in freenet.ini. You will simply have multiple instances of freenet running, each accessible via it's own http port, each accessing it's own udp data pipes/local sockets. I think. I also think you're mixing up your keys :b. The master key to which you refer is just (optionally) used to encrypt the local cache (the node.db4o* file .. which stores your in-progeress downloads/uploads). It has nothing to do with freenet's keys (CHKs / SSKs / etc). ___ 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

You also need to open the main data udp port(s) (for opennet/darknet. darknet refers to personal freenet friends, if you have any. if you dont, you're not using darknet.) Each node sets these at random. You can find which ones your node uses by accessing http://localhost:/ under Status > Internet connection. FCP is a separate pipe used by freenet client programs, like Thaw / FMS / Frost / etc. If you run these programs remotely (not on your freenet node's machine, you'll also have to forward that port, which is 9481 by default. ___ 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
[freenet-support] cloning freenet on different servers
I am trying to add multiple 24/7 servers to the freenet cause but I have run into problems. I basically had to go one by one to do it manually. 1) wget to obtain latest version. 2) tar -xz... 3) 1run.sh 4) run.sh It seems I then need to go via the browser to http://localhost: to complete the installation. Since I have to do it remotely, I have to modify freenet.ini to allow remote access. Then I can attempt to complete the installation. There has to be a better way. I read somewhere that if I just copy everything, I might run into problems because of the way keys get assigned. I may end up with my node having the same key as the master source of my freenet directory that I copied.
