Mac OSX 10.5 unable to connect since Freenet build 1372

Hello,


Please excuse my very limited technical knowledge.


I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8 with 2 GB RAM and Firefox 4.0.1 on a Macbook. My JavaVM seems to be 12.8 and I can't find a newer one for Mac.


Up until Freenet 0.7.5 Build #1372 build01372, Freenet-ext Build #26 r23771,
I had no problems. Normally, I would install the Mac version from the "downloads" webpage, or use the offline installer for Linux. Either worked well. IZPack install always took the browser to 127.0.0.1:8888/wizard. Using the line command "status", I could see:
"macbook:*** ***$ ./run.sh status
Freenet 0.7 is running (10433)."


With all the updated install programs after build #1372, the installs would seem to finish, but the browser at 127.0.0.1:8888 wouldn't launch, or if it did, it would show:
"Unable to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8888."
Double-checking through Terminal with the line command "status", I could see:
"macbook:*** ***$ ./run.sh status
Freenet 0.7 is running (6006).
macbook:*** ***$ ./run.sh status
Freenet 0.7 is not running."
From "running" to "not running" takes about 8-10 seconds.


For some weeks, I offline-installed build 1372 for Linux, had no problem with the browser interface, waited for a few connections (2/40 connections after 2 hours) and for the "update" button to appear on the 127.0.0.1 webpage. (Without connections, that update option isn't available.) This was slow but seemed to work after some time.


Now, 1372 still installs but can't make any connections at all, in any amount of time. So I can't use that method any more. The 1376 webpage jnlp installs, but line command "status" shows that the program stops after some seconds (resulting in Firefox's "unable to connect" message, I guess), as do all the Linux offline installers after 1372.


After a 1372 install, a line command called ",/update.sh start" seems to show all kinds of downloading and installing of jars and ext-jars, but the updated program still dies after about 8 seconds.


So with a 1372 Linux offline installer, I can install and get a browser interface because it continues to run but cannot connect to others. With any of the updated installers, I can install, but get no browser interface, because the program seems to die too soon, I guess.


 I've hit the wall. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas?


Thanks.


Harry
