Title: Listening ports.
Post by: Snakee on November 20, 2004, 06:23:49 PM

Hello everybody

 Can someone tell me why amule listens to ports other than those configured in the preferences menu? (1 tcp port, 1 udp port).
 As far as I know version 1.2.8 does not have the web server feature, which could explain the extra listening socket.

Thanks in advance

Yes it does. But that port isn't used until some data is sent to it, so it should give you any problems. please list the ports yuo are wondering about.

Greetings!

To list the ports:

Code: [Select]

$ netstat -nalp | grep amule
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4712            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1060/amule
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4662            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1060/amule
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4672            0.0.0.0:*                           1060/amule
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4665            0.0.0.0:*                           1060/amule
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     66189  1060/amule          /home/amule/.aMule//muleconn
unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     66185  1060/amule

4662TCP: amule TCP listening port.
4665 UDP: TCP + 3
4672 UDP: amule UDP port
4712 TCP: External Connections, used by amuleweb and amulecmd, not enabled by default.
The unix domain sockets are currently only used to detect that aMule is currently running on the system, iirc.

Cheers!
