Next step - registering a domain

Port 8334 is the Namecoin peer port. I'm guessing that the namecoind packaged in FreeSpeechMe grabbed that port. The current GitHub code fixes that. I believe you can work around it by placing the following line in ~/.namecoin/namecoin.conf

port=xxx

Where xxx is a port that isn't in use. Incoming connections don't have to be allowed by your firewall, although doing so will help the network.

Let us know if that helps you load the GUI.

Cheers.

OK, I used 8335 for convenience . . now I get:

Code: Select all

libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited
libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited

EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException       
DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery       
namecoin in Runaway exception       

QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method QObject::message(QString,QString,unsigned int,bool*)

I think this usually is indicative of a mismatched BerkeleyDB version, probably because the FreeSpeechMe distributed namecoind binary was using a different version than the official packages. There are probably ways to recover this, but they're complicated. The easiest workaround is probably to rename your ~/.namecoin/ folder and let it regenerate a profile.

And therefore have to redownload all the blockchain stuff? . . I think this is as far as I can go at this stage . . thanks.
