Azureus 2.4 and Ubuntu 5.10

vital_101 · 03-13-2006, 12:26 PM

Hello all,

I recently installed Azureus 2.4 on my Ubuntu box. Everything seemed to go well except that now when I try to download something via a torrent, Azureus says "There seems to be a problem with Distributed Databases port mapping (NAT/Firewall). I'm assuming this means that I have some sort of security system installed that won't let azureus communicate freely. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Any help would be great. Thanks!

What type of firewall are you running? Are you blocking the port that the bit-torrent is trying to use?

vital_101 · 03-13-2006, 05:16 PM

I'm not using any firewall that I'm aware of. If there is a firewall, it's whatever came with ubuntu. I'm not blocking the port either (at least I don't think i am), because the port test in azureus worked.

Hello vital_101,

I had EXACTLY this same problem on Ubuntu Breezy with Azureus 2.4.0.0 .

The problem was that my JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment) was too old. You will need to go to http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp and download and install the latest version for linux.

Once this is done you should be ready to use Azureus properly.

If you're having trouble installing JRE then post a description of your problem here and I'll see what I can do.

I have the latest version of JRE. Any other ideas out there?

socceroos · 03-13-2006, 10:11 PM

Well, have you made sure that you are infact using the latest version of JRE?

From the command line: java -version

And if it isn't the latest version then you will need to run (from the command line):

sudo update-alternatives --config java

So I checked my java version. I apparently have 1.4.2, although I installed 1.5 not more than a week ago. Is there a reason why my computer still thinks I have 1.4.2 instead of version 1.5? If I need to remove 1.4.2, how do I go about doing that?

From the Ubuntu Wiki:

"...Finally, you might have to reconfigure your system slightly to get it to use the Sun JRE rather than the default (but far less capable) gij freejava version:

Code:

sudo update-alternatives --config java
Password:

and pick the option with j2re1.5-sun in it's directory name....."

Btw, did you forward the ports for azureus on your router? Because the message you receive doesn't seem to have to do anything with java.

I forwarded the ports for Azureus on my router but It's still not working. And when I do the update command that was suggested, there is no option for any version 1.5 of java by sun.

socceroos · 03-16-2006, 04:59 PM

Well, it sounds like the newer java version hasn't properly installed.

You should concentrate on getting that working as it will most likely be the problem (99% probability) with Azureus 2.4 .
