[SOLVED] mldonkey setup

[ryk]

Hi,

has anyone tried to setup mldonkey on Mageia (currently I have Mageia5)?
I have never tried before (I believe I was using something like "kde-donkey" in Mandrake Linux, but the setup wasn't like this) and I followed the instructions here: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/Quickstart_guide
When I tried to connect by telnet, the connection was refused (I cannot remember the message as I am not in front of Mageia5 computer).
I have turned off the firewall and msec, but the problem insists.

Every help is welcomed!
Thanks!
Kiriakos

What mldonkey packages do you have installed, and how did you start mldonkey? Did you check if it is running, and if it is listening on the port to which you want to connect?
And did you try to connect via web browser to http://127.0.0.1:4080 ? Back in the days when I used mldonkey, I never used telnet to set it up ...
Just checked now, and it does not seem to connect to running mldonkey via telnet, whereas the web gui works.

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep mldonkey
ps auxwww | grep -v grep | grep mlnet
netstat -tunlp | grep 4080

Thanks for the info.
Returning home today, mldonkey run like a charm, without changing anything. I have installed all the packages named *donkey*. The service was running since yesterday (i checked it)
The problem probably had something to do with updating/changing something in the distro, i cannot explain it otherwise

Case closed!
