I had problems with 2.2.5 so I upgraded now. 2.2.5 did react extremely slowly since I had more than 1100 files in the DL queue.
I had this problem before and could solve it by deleting some files from the queue.
Now however 2.2.5 started but I only got the busy mouse icon. Nothing else happened.
After force-quitting and restarting a few times I deleted the amule.conf and re-started. No improvement.
Then I upgraded to 2.2.6.
At first start I was asked to enter my admin name and password. I refused.
Then 2.2.6 crashed. I deleted amule.conf again + at another try also preferences.dat and restarted each time.
The only thing that happens is that amule starts, shows "loading" and then crashes.

Any suggestions?

Wait, aMule asked for your admin name and passwd? In which platform?

[STHNSv2]

Which platform? What type of package? Did you use a precompiled source package with a file manager or compiled from source? Is the application base for aMule accessible from your current user? or restrictive? where did it ask for your password?

[bobmarleyfan]

Platform is OS X 10.5.
I got the 2.2.6 binary from the official link (link on amule.org to the pre-compiled package in this forum).
When I downloaded and copied the files from the disk image to the applications folder I was logged in as admin.
When I started amule I was logged in as user without admin rights.

I was asked for admin name and password when starting 2.2.6 for the first time (I got the message "You are starting amule for the first time").
I had not deleted the amule files from the application support directory.
It was the standand system panel and it appeared 2 times (I refused, then it appeared again, again I refused, then it didn`t show up again).

Meanwhile I also copied back the original amule files (amule.conf etc.) which I had used with 2.2.5 (which did not porperly start in the end) and tried starting 2.2.6 again. Still the same: 2.2.6 crashes on startup.

You copied the "disk image" (is this the "pre-compiled package" ?) to the applications folder. Don't you need to install it first? Or does this work in a different way on Macs?

Isn't it possible that it (the OS) wanted to configure the firewall?

No, on Macs copying is enough to install an application. Their application bundles are a bit like a portable application for windows.

To a point. You need to take the application out of the dmg and put it in the applications folder. You don't put the dmg there.

Of course. I had opened the DMG and copied the contained application to the applications folder.

I assume this was the case but it happened when I started amule. Nothing else was launching at the time. When I refused twice amule crashed and crashes ever since at start up.
Supposedly I could have clicked yes but I don`t give out my admin-password to any request-panel before thinking about potential risks. I had manually set up the firewall for 2.2.5 so I don`t know any reason why it has to be automatically configured now.

Can I delete the last additions to the DL-queue by selecting those .part files with the biggest number as filename and moving them to some other folder (just in case I need them back) to get amule going again?

Did you compile aMule with debug? If yes, can you post the bundle for me?

I downloaded the Mac-binary from this forum.

[bobmarleyfan]

This is what I downloaded:
http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=17284.0

I downloaded build 1 and copied all of the disk image`s contents to the applications folder.
Then I replaced the application with this build aMuleCore-2.2.6-x86-Leopard build 03.

I have a second user account where I use amule (not simultaneously but alternatively). There amule 2.2.6 loaded and started without problems.
Meanwhile I set up a temporary second admin account and gave its login data to the request panel which appeared again when I started admule 2.2.6 in the user account where 2.2.6 always crashed.
So again when starting I was asked if amule is allowed to accept incoming connections (I forget this in my original post but it also happened the first time I tried if I remember correctly). I clicked yes and then was asked for the admin login (according to the panel info the application asking was Firewall).
I entered the login info of the temporary admin account and amule kept on loading for a few minutes. I decided it was stuck and force quit amule.
I just started amule once more. No request, loading, crash.
On the other account 2.2.6 also gave me the "This is the first time you`re starting amule..."-info (I had previously started 2.2.5 in that user account and also got downloads there) but it started without any requests or problems.

I suppose there is something wrong with the configuration of amule in the other account.
The question is which files I may need to delete to get it running again (without losing the downloads in progress).

~/Library/Application Support/aMule/

should be there.
