The Linster Port is in use #15

Closed Xexizy closed 12 years ago

Xexizy commented 12 years ago

Hey, it seems that whenever i try to restart jtorchat i cant start it up again because it comes up with a message saying the listener port is in use. Help?

zerotamaitsu commented 12 years ago

if listener port is in use. look for and kill tor.exe or obfsproxy.exe in process manager. Its a bug

I do that but tor browser also uses tor.exe so I kind of have to guess sometimes. Also it means I cant get a batch/bash file to do it seeing as it would kill both processes. Oh, also you need to kill the javaw.exe if you needed to close jtorchat due to it crashed, which is the only time i need to close it.

in jtorchat you can use the tor instance from tor browser. just go to the settings->Advanced->Initial Tor Portable at start and disable this option. Then you may need to manually set the Tor socks port to the same as in tor browser.

zerotamaitsu commented 12 years ago

That is the recommended option, to set your own tor instance. It does require manual configuration of system tor however, so its for advance users only.

[ coders, perhaps we should give the user 3 different options to start jtorchat. Normal mode of booting off portable tor (for newbies), 'System tor' with portable torrc {this mode is usually active in non supported OS by default} (powerusers who can set "$PATH" variables to include tor executable. E.g. in linux), or 'manual tor' where they have to configure everything themselves (advance users) ) ]

Normaly we user other Ports then the config from firefox bundle and you can start more then one tor.exe with different ports. So when jtorchat is down and you restart it he can use these ports when the old tor process from jtorchat is down. (the problem is that this is buggy because java and the kill process function)

Might as well close this issue now seeing as a way to kill the processes has been solved on another issue, thus fixing this one.
