I am trying to install azureus. When I go to a terminal and cd to the azureus directory I run the ./azureus command...after a while....i get an error message:


StartSocket: passing startup args to already-running process.

If you're ussing Azureus, you'll not be able to use it if you changed your machinename. You'll have this error message after trying to start it with the ./azureus command:
Code:

Attempting to start Azureus...
java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost

I've already edited azureus PROGRAM_DIR and JAV_PROGRAM_DIR but I still had this error.

Problem:
The /etc/hosts file is invalid....you need a reference to localhost:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Solution:
I edited my /etc/hosts to 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost and I could started Azureus again.

Well for some reason when I opened a terminal and logged in with su - and ran ./azureus it worked. When I ran it for the first time does it automaticly set itself up to download the torrents with any browser?

[keyshawn]

no, it doesnt; but you can just click save as to disk, then in azureus, click open torrent, and it loads the torrent.

[otherwise, you have to do some editing w/ your browser, not sure]
