aMule Error
« on: March 04, 2006, 06:13:26 AM »
When I load up aMule I get this error message:
"Cannot get the official hostname (error 2: No such file or directory)"

I have d/l'ed and copied a new server.met file and added it to my .aMule folder but it still keeps happening.

I also get this error when I just ignore the 1st one:
Failed to load server.met file '/home/lordg/.aMule/server.met.download', unknown format encountered

The first message is a minor issue and you can just ignore it.  In CVS this message should no longer produce a dialog requiring your intervention, it will just be a message in the log.  The hostname in question is not the server's, it's your computer's.

The second problem is due to the fact that gruk.org is no longer serving a server.met file.  So, when aMule tries to download it, it gets an HTML page explaining that the server.met is unavailable instead of the actual server.met.  Google for a different server.met URL and use that.

Don't be too specific in your search, just googleing for "server.met" should be enough ^^

http://ocbmaurice.dyns.net/pl/slist.pl?download/server-best.met <-- That's the new "official" server.met which is included in SVN and will be included in future versions (at least until it goes offline...)

i get a similar message:

Error: Cannot get the official hostname (error 0: Sucesso)

It didn't seem a problem to me. The problem is that I can't connect to any server. It only says: connection lost. I'm running fedora core 5. Anybody can help?
