Message from mldonkey-core-3.1.5:
ATTENTION:

- If you want to know how to use mldonkey, read "INSTALL" or
  "FAQ.html" in the port docs (/usr/local/share/doc/mldonkey)

- It is not a bad idea to install mplayer. You will be able
  to preview half-downloaded files (if you have the beginning).

- You can import the downloads you started with eDonkey
  (try "import /home/directory/path/.edonkey2000-core"
  on the console), but you can NOT go back!

- If this is the first time you install mldonkey,
  please go to the mldonkey-gui ports dir as a user and enter:

     make install-user

  this will set up your user config.

- You have to enable the different protocols on the client
  console. Go to the (mldonkey-) console, and try the commands
  'set enable_<protocol> true' (try 'voo' for reference).

+------------------------------------------------------------+
|- For upgraders: The names of the binaries have changed.    |
|  Core and GUI are called "mlnet" and "mlgui", respectively.|
+------------------------------------------------------------+
pnas: ~#

Time to add mlnet_enable=YES on rc.conf
and
mlnet_logfile=/var/log/mlnet.log
and
mlnet_user=p2p:

MLnetr .rc.conf.jpg

and do some job from shell:

Code: Select all

touch /var/log/mldonkey.log
cd /home
ls -l
mkdir /home/p2p
chown p2p:p2p /home/p2p
chmod 0770 /home/p2p
chown p2p:p2p /var/log/mldonkey.log
chmod 0770 /var/log/mldonkey.log
service mlnet start
service mlnet stop

now you need to create group & user in webGUI ( first create the group and then the user, and use same GUUID ( 1000 if is your first user and 1001 if is your second, etc...).

addgroup.jpg

useradd.jpg

Note: you need to start first time mlnet so it can create files on /home/p2p/.mldonkey

but you need to stop to edit downloads.ini ( mlnet config file)

Edit /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/downloads.ini <. I use N4F webGUI: Advanced|File Editor

to change allowed IP to:

Code: Select all

allowed_ips = [
  "127.0.0.1";
  "192.168.1.0/24";]

<- 192.168.1.x is my class "C" internal LAN


Now you only need to config first start of mldonkey and connect using sancho or simmilar:
http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/Sancho
http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/Gui

[raulfg3]

Some tricks; as you know, files are donwloaded on /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/incoming

and perhaps you want to save on other place to share by SMB, in my case /mnt/DATA/incoming so you only need to do a link ( my destination is on other disk)

so you can do:

Code: Select all

touch /mnt/DATA/incoming
rmdir /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/incoming/files
rmdir /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/incoming/directories
rmdir /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/incoming
ln -s /mnt/DATA/incoming /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey

rmdir /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/temp
ln -s /mnt/DATA/Temp/temp /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey

PD: You MUST use the trick because incoming & Dowload folders used by mldonkey by default are located on root FS ("/"), that is only 4GB in size so you really have a full "/" if do not use my trick.



Other Trick:

You can add mlnet.log to WebGUI to easy see log entries using this patch:

viewtopic.php?f=55&t=11351

[raulfg3]

Side note: I notice from my first install that mlnet (mldonkey service), do not autostart on reboot, I finally found that RRDGrphs that I have installed conflict with boot procedure ( some related to lib that use rrdGrpps).

This is true for rrdgraps 0.3.2 = viewtopic.php?f=71&t=8299 outdated, work fine on latest rrdgraphs for 10.x series.

but you need to stop to edit downloads.ini ( mlnet config file)

Edit /usr/home/p2p/.mldonkey/downloads.ini <. I use N4F webGUI: Advanced|File Editor

to change allowed IP to:

Code: Select all

allowed_ips = [
  "127.0.0.1";
  "192.168.1.0/24";]

<- 192.168.1.x is my class "C" internal LAN

This way not work because mlnet rewrite file download.ini each start.
You must use selfbuild /usr/local/etc/rc,d/mlnet file

I not understand, why not use jail for it ?

About conflict with rrdgraphs.

If extension use algo

Code: Select all

if (!is_file (libblalal.so) || !is_link(libblalal.so)) symlink ($from, $to);  

then you can disable extension, reboot, install mlnet, then enable extension.

well after analisis of the problem I think this.

I first install rrdgraph that copy neccesary libs and symlink like you say, once rrdgraphs are working I install mldonkey and offending lib is not copied because it exist.

So I can start and stop service when N4F is started and I can access to webgui.

But in the reboot process......

I suspect that BSD first try to start services and one of the last things is to load rrdgraph init script that symlink the libs, so mldonkey do not find libfontconfig.so.1 and do not autostart, only start when rrdgraph init script finish and lib exist ( simlink exist).

This is what actually think.

What do you think?
