"There is an instance of aMule already running"
« on: February 02, 2006, 05:15:20 PM »

Hi!

So i'm using amulegui from my windows and i have amule daemon on a linux, thats how i use amule. Today we got a blackout, and i got an error message when i was booting the linux. It had something to do with one of amules files (temp/059.part). Something like double sharing block or something. I pressed ctrl+D like it said i have to do to continue. I checked which of the downloads it is. I found it, then when the downloading of that file completed, i deleted that 3 files (the .part the .met and the .bak). I thought those weren't supposed to be there when the download is finished. Then i restarted the linux, i didn't get the message now, but when i was starting amuled i got the message: "There is an instance of aMule already running". And now i can't use it anymore. I think it's because i deleted those files, but i'm not sure, and i would like to know what i'm supposed to do to make it work again.

Thx for help.

It's weird, but it runs now. I didn't do anything special, but tried again later.
