I have tried about a half-dozen times to use Freenet 0.7 by reinstalling and setting up a new darknet eash time. It installs fine. It runs fine. But I can't restart the node once it has closed. This is necessary as I have to restart my computer from time to time. I read somewhere online that Freenet should restart automatically with your computer, but mine doesn't. The problem is probably me. I know nothing about Unix or programming. I don't think I'm entering in the right command-line code. I have been desperately searching the internet for the proper procedure, but as little Freenet info is out there, there is virtually none for OSX. I have managed to find a few hits, tried them and variations on them to no avail. I find that allot of Unix explanations on the net are very incomplete. They say to type such-and-such, leaving out a piece because they believe it to be understood and you will fill in the gaps on your own. As, I've said, I know nothing about Unix or programming. (All of those files and applications bundled w/ the installer and we can't have a simple executable file in the OSX GUI? - If there is, by the way, it isn't working on mine as I have tried every file that looked like it could work before figuring I would have to use the Terminal.) I state this because when I describe what I'm doing I will be very exact - even knowing that my file hierarchy will be different than yours. I hope if I am lucky enough to receive a response, whoever replies will do the same. This is what I have so far: In terminal type
cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7 ./run.sh Terminal responds [Process completed] But the Node never starts running again. Browser returns Safari can?t open the page ?http://localhost:8888/? because it could not connect to the server ?localhost?. I get the same response for cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7 ./run.sh start cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7 ./run.sh cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7 ./Freenet start and cd /Volumes/LACIE/Freenet/0.7 ./Freenet Until the last time I tried I would always get "file not found" messages from Terminal. Now it seems to be doing something different out of nowhere. Yet, even after several attempts and a long time waiting (as I've heard it takes awhile to start up) - nothing. Please, please, please someone help! I'm sure I can't be the only one having this problem. If it runs fine but won't restart then it deffinately works on my computer. Its just some little Very basic problems like this are what will keep allot of people away from Freenet and stunt its future growth. Many of the future features sound interesting, but until easier setup and usage can be made available, Freenet will never strive. Most people don't want to deal with this kind of a pain.
