Hi,

I am still unsuccessful with the binaries test.

To remove the possibility that it could come from the fact I'm not using exactly the same distribution version, I installed a machine from scratch with Ubuntu 8.10 i386. On this machine, I just updated the /etc/apt/sources.list file and "apt-get install hipl-all". The packages installation has been successful.

I rebooted the machine. At boot, I have these following services started automatically and in background :
- /usr/sbin/hipfw -bklpF
- /usr/sbin/hipd -bk
- python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/hipdnsproxy/dnsproxy.py -bk
- sh -c hipconf dht get ntp.ubuntu.com 2>&1
- hipconf dht get ntp.ubuntu.com

In a previous answer, you told me to kill 'stuck' hipconf processes. Every time I try to kill one of the two hipconf process, they are immeditaly recreated (with another PID).
I figured out that they are controlled by the service HIPDNSPROXY.

Moreover, when Hipdnsproxy service is running, it's playing with my DNS address (/etc/resolv.conf file)
When it is running, it replaces my default DNS by "nameserver 127.0.0.53"
So then when I open Firefox and try to access "crossroads.infrahip.net", it is trying to connect until the timeout of Firefox arrives and I get the error : "Server not found". Which is logical, since hipdnsproxy changes my DNS I don't know it is supposed to translate Crossroads URL into an IP address .... If during this manipulation, I stop the service Hipdnsproxy (-> /etc/init.d/hipdnsproxy stop) Immediatly my file "/etc/resolv.conf" comes back to my good DNS and I get here the blue page in Firefox with "This connection is insecure. Please enable HIP".

I tried to test the binaries on three different machines and I always get the same behavior, the same result. Am I missing one step ? Am I doing one thing wrong ? Isn't it supposed to work directly ?

Thanks for your support

Hi,

we have some problems with our Bamboo DHT installation. There is a hipconf command stuck on your ps output trying to do look up via DHT. Crossroads can be found from DNS, so DHT is optional anyway.

I rolled new binaries that timeout hipconf when there is no response. Please try if they work better for you. Remember to kill the stuck hipconf processes or reboot the machine.

Hi all,

I'm still stuck on the "HIP binaries test" :-|
While I'm trying to access "crossroads.infrahip.net" via my firefox web browser, I always have as result : "This connection is insecure. Please enable HIP"

My config :
- Ubuntu 7.10 i386
- Want to use HIPL only in User-Space
- HIPL version installed : 1.0.4-19 (18th march 2009)

I installed all IPL debian packages following this tutorial -> http://infrahip.hiit.fi/index.php?index=download The installation went well. I have all the binaries and deamons look like running perfectly in background :

 >>root@knoppal-desktop:~# ps -elf | grep -i hip
5 S nobody 5571 1 0 78 0 - 1380 - 11:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hipfw -bklpF 5 S nobody 5655 1 0 78 0 - 5607 - 11:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hipd -bk 5 S root 5874 1 0 78 0 - 1610 pipe_w 11:30 ? 00:00:00 python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/hipdnsproxy/dnsproxy.py -bk 0 S root 5936 5874 0 77 0 - 438 wait 11:30 ? 00:00:00 sh -c hipconf dht get ntp.ubuntu.com 2>&1 4 S root 5937 5936 0 78 0 - 1267 415434 11:30 ? 00:00:00 hipconf dht get ntp.ubuntu.com 0 R root 6296 6282 0 78 0 - 743 - 11:31 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -i hip

But despite the fact that everything looks Ok according to the HIPL user Manual, I still have the error message in firefox when I try to connect to "crossroads.infrahip.net". I have no idea how to go on. How to debug. How can I check what part is going wrong ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
