The password is encrypted (it's an MD5 hash of the typed in text). Did you type something on your attempt ?
Anyway, you transmitted a password with an MD5 of 8873... and amuled expected one with an MD5 of bd5e...
You can change the ECPassword in the config to 8873... and it should work.
To set it up properly, run the monolithic app and set the password there.

The behaviour of the remotegui to become a zombie on connection failure is not exactly elegant btw...  ::)

Code: [Select]

echo -n bd5e1e1b9f3c97a08168dda104dc7fdb | md5sum
8873a8e54b65f741ddacb9d72f46e6fc  -

amuled --ec-config takes the cleartext password. :) I wanted it to be user friendly, after all.  If there was any documentation in the wiki misleading you, could you please add a clarification that this doesn't apply for amuled --ec-config.

There's nothing wrong with the wiki...just me ..

you see i typed the password before i MD5'd it via the command line...then added it to the amule.conf file.. i tried to reset it through the command line and the amule.conf...but didn't work...

so i opened the aMule normally 'amule' and edited the password MD5 and closed it and started 'amuled' then started 'amulegui' and Volla!!! worked...

silly me..

thanks a bunch..

You also welcomed to check out .NET base remote gui (you will need mono)

'configure --help' does not give any option

tnx

You need Microsoft Visual Studio (with C# installed) to compile it. And it is created from scratch, so it is kind of alpha-ish.  ;)

Visual Studio Free Edition is enough. Project file included in SVN. Yes, it's alpha-quality from feature-set point of view. I am continue to working on it when time is available.
