Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default [BUG] 2.8.2.92 - wicked file permission dont allow Phex to save configuration

Greetings !

Today I have at least upgrade from 2.6.4.89 to 2.8.2.92.
And yes, after while i have find annyoing bug...

Synopsis: wicked file permission dont allow Phex to save configuration



Description: When Phex is write something to sharedlibrary.xml
for first time, it is save it with very wicked unix filepermission "-r-x-wsr--".
There is no "w" flag for user - so Phex cant write to this file anymore - so it
is showing very annyoing popup window:



How-To-Repeat: Run Phex 2.8.2.92 under unix-like-system and try share / unshare directories few times.
Work-around: Manually chmod'ding sharedlibrary.xml to "644" (-rw-r--r--) very often...
Fix: Phex should write all configuration files with standard "644" (-rw-r--r--) file permissions
insted of totally insane "-r-x-wsr--"...
Phex version: 2.8.2.92
Java version: 1.5.0_02-b09
OS: NetBSD 2.0.2 i386


Sorry for my poor english

Never heard of that problem before. Actually Phex should use the default file permission settings of the system

Could it be that you have a strange umask value configured?
Can you try to run umask and post the settings... It should usually be something like 022

Code:
Echelon$ umask     
0022
So my umask value is not a problem.

Hmm...

Like i say before - under 2.6.4.89 "i dont have" this problem.
But check this out:

rm -rf ~/.phex
java -jar /usr/local/phex_2.6.4.89/phex.jar

And look what i get inside of my ~/.phex:
Code:
-r---wS---  1 zafir  users    376 Feb  4 13:28 sharedlibrary.xml
So i think that i have that "wicked file permission problem " since long time,
but i have discover it now thanks to that annyoing windows popup in 2.8.2.92...


I have "chmod 777" to sharedlibrary.xml and now Phex have chmod it to:
Code:
----rwsr--  1 zafir  users   37195 Feb  4 13:53
Pretty wicked !

Or maybe this is a Java bug, because when i have upgrade Phex i decide
to install Sun JDK.
So i have "upgrade" my Java from jre1.5.0_05 to jre1.5.0_02-b09
(that version is shipped with "jdk1.5.0_02").

What you think ?

I have remove Java 1.5.0_02-b09 and i have install fresh Java 1.5.0_06-b05.

And I still have the same problem with Phex 2.8.2.92 (Phex 2.6.4.89 is working fine) - so this is not Java bug.

Ok, lets try to limit the problem area.

Phex is not touching anything that has something to do with file permissions and also Java has no way of manipulating file permissions for user/group/all separately. Thats why I would look into the direction of a bug in Java, its platform specific implementation or in the platform installation.
Additionally some change between Phex build 89 and build 92 must have caused this bug to appear. Phex changed file handling from using streams to none blocking IO which could be the cause...

I searched a few times through the Java bug database but without finding anything usefull...

Lets look at what Phex is doing...

Phex stores your sharedlibrary into a file called sharedlibrary.xml.tmp and then after its finished it copies the file to sharedlibrary.xml.

As I can see on your screenshot the problem must happen during the copy operation since the sharedlibrary.xml.tmp is still with correct permissions. So what has changed between 89 and 92 with the copy operation... a few lines have changed but unfortunalty it still works the same way as before and most important it still uses the old file stream handling.

So after all I'm stuck again...

I have try Phex 2.8.0.91 and its affected with that bug too.

Phex 2.6.4.89 - not affected (it "have" wicked permission problem, but without that annyoing windows)
Phex 2.8.0.91 - affected
Phex 2.8.2.92 - affected

Im sorry GregorK - im not programmer, but if you need some more info or testing with other java / phex versions then i can help you.

In matter of fact - i dont care about that "bug" - i just dont want that annyoing windows
