Title: aMule crashes and won´t open up!
Post by: dolores.sanchez on March 30, 2005, 01:58:31 PM

hi,  i got a new mac this week and switched from my pc. i tried to install amule and everything worked right away.

then i added another account for my boyfriend and tried to copy the program in my dump box. we fingered with some of the access right but  did not get it to work. then we just deleted his account.

now i wanted to reinstall amule on my account but when i have finished downloading it and try to open amule the following appears:

can´t open file ´users/doloressanchez/.amule//logfile (error 13: permission denied)

here is the log file:

well on linux I would to a

chmod a+rwx /Users/doloressanchez/.aMule/logfile
in console.

this will reset the rights so that everybode can read/write to this specific logfile. I guess that should solve the problem.

if you have no downloads yet, or no importand once you can also, as a 2nd option, delete teh
.aMule dir
in  /Users/doloressanchez/

and then aMule restarts, it should create a new one aswell...with all teh default files

hope taht helps

hi stefanero,

thanks for your help. i don´t ahve any experiences in linux, so i am not sure if your first tip will help me.

as far as the 2nd tip, there is no amule dir in my finder. i used the search option but there are no files left in my directory. that is the strange thing to me. the only thing left is the unzipped amule i downloaded and the log file from the constant crashes in the log directory.

well its a hidden!! dir...and I heard finder had some troubel "finding it" ;)

maybe try the console and see if it pops up with

ls -la

in your home dir, if so use

rm -r .aMule

to remove it ;) afterall Mac comes from Unix so this commands should do I think :)

Gracias por lo que sea.
