Jarle,
Hello. I'm more familiar with the windows distribution of Freenet, but I may be able to help you solve your problem. First of all, it is normal for a node to not be able to download anything at first. It takes some time for a node to be integrated into the network. Also, you have to make sure that your node has a sufficient amount of node references in it's seed file. You can check this by looking in your seednodes.ref file located in the main Freenet directory. If you don't understand what you're looking at, and easy way to count the references your node knows is the count the number of times the word "signature" comes up. When you first install your node, it most likely only knows one other node. You must download the "default seeds" as well as any others you can get your hands on. After you have a sufficient amount of references (about 30 is good), just run your node for a while. Keep it on over night. Keep trying it and it should work eventually. Okay, now I'll get into the part where your node just doesn't work. This error that you reported bothers me: > 30-Jun-02 3:47:03 AM (freenet.node.rt.DataObjectRoutingStore, main): bad > reference while resolving: 0x0 : d1d585f4b776ecc9667c1701a654ca01bf146134 > freenet.node.BadReferenceException: NodeReference self signature check > failed. Truthfully, I'm not sure what it means. But it has something to do with your node's own nodereference, which is located in the myOwn.ref file in the main Freenet directory. If you keep getting this kind of error AND your node doesn't start working after you've tried the above, you may want to consider DELETING the myOwn.ref file WHILE YOUR NODE IS TURNED OFF. When you restart your node, this file should be recreated correctly. Obviously, there is a chance that none of my suggestions will work. It that case, you may want to consider completely removing your installation and starting again from scratch. Also, if you want you can send me the following files so that I can check your configuration and see if it is nominal: freenet.conf myOwn.ref seednodes.ref Also, you can tell me what the size of the following files are, BUT DON'T SEND ME THE ACTUAL FILES: node_16966 store_16966 The numbers will of course vary with what port you are running on. Feel free to send me any additional snippets of your log file that concern you. Good luck, Wesley. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jarle Aase > Sent: Saturday, 29 June, 2002 21:07 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [freenet-support] Error when starting up > > > Hi all, > > I'm having some problems getting started with freenet.
