Webserver Deletes ipfilter.dat?
« on: May 15, 2007, 09:32:05 PM »
I have amule installed on ubuntu lamp and it runs head-less and is managed through the amuleweb feature.  How ever I can not seem to get the ip blocking feature to work.  Amule and amuleweb will start through init.d and this is the log generated:

As you can see, when the webserver  starts "Loaded 0 IP-ranges from 'ipfilter.dat'. 0 malformed lines were discarded." is displayed where as before that it was showing that blocked ip's where loaded.  Also I can not figure out how to get  the head-less amule to automatically download and use it's own ipfilter.dat.  Instead that ipfilter.dat is copied from my amule on my desktop.  The ipfilter.dat from my desktop is about 12mb in size.  Once I upload it to the head-less amule on the server and get it running the ipfilter.dat file will be 0mb.  It's like amuleweb deleted the contents or something...

I am not sure if this is a bug or not.  I am probably just doing something wrong.  I have played with many settings in amule.conf and I cannot figure this out. 

Anyone have any ideas?  :)

Which amule version is this? and you say your amule server runs headless, so when you say "Amule and amuleweb will start" I think you actually mean "Amuled and amuleweb will start" don't you?

Oh yes I forgot that part.  Yes I am using amuled and amuleweb.  Version 2.1.3: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backports/x11/amule-daemon

Amuleweb does not have IPFilter. The message you see is from amuled, which for some reason is reloading the IPFilter. But he finds nothing new, so it loads nothing. To make sure no process is deleting the file, just do a

$ ls -l ~/.aMule/ipfilter.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 11295254 2007-03-04 18:12 /home/myuser/.aMule/ipfilter.dat

Cheers!

Ok the problem was on my side.  Apparently you can't edit the amule.conf file if amuled is running because it won't save.

What happened was I had an old invalid url in the autoload section.  Amuled would load the ipfilter.dat and then delete it and try to download the new list but since it was a bad url it would just fail and leave me with a blank file.


Thanks for amule guys!


Also is there a super newbie guide for getting an online signature up and running?  skolnick's is looking pretty sweet.
