Connection and Server Issues on Emule

Question

Hello,

I have read many topics on the problems concerning Emule, but unfortunately, all the answers have been useless to me.

My first problem occurs before opening Emule. When I click on the mule, 8 messages appear one after the other:

- Failed to create Finished Files in the directory C:\ProgramFiles\eMule\Incoming. Access denied

- Failed to create Finished Files in the directory C:\ProgramFiles\eMule\Incoming. The specified file is not found.

- Failed to create Temporary Files in the directory C:\ProgramFiles\eMule\Temp. Access denied

- Failed to create Temporary Files in the directory C:\ProgramFiles\eMule\Temp. The specified file is not found

- Unknown error reading emfriends.met: %s - C:\ProgramFiles\Emule\Config\emfriends.met contains an invalid path

- Failed to load known.met file. C:\ProgramFiles\Emule\config\known.met contains an invalid path

- Failed to load the credits file, new file created. C:\ProgramFiles\eMule\config\clients.met contains an invalid path

- Unable to initialize encryption keys. Secure identification disabled.

I click OK for each message and then Emule finally opens. But I have no server in the list and I cannot connect.
When I try to update the servers, an error message appears as soon as I click on "update": "Error opening the file to download, Error: The specified access path cannot be found".
At the bottom of the Emule window, it says "Failed to receive the server list from http://www1.emule-inside.net/?tm=1&kw=Cloud+Processing&KW1=Emule%20Dedicated%20Servers&KW2=Proxy%20Servers&KW3=Cloud%20Security&searchbox=0&domainname=0&backfill=0 "

I have the latest version of Emule v0.49c and I am using Vista. Thank you for taking an interest in my problem, I do not know what to do to solve it.

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

You have problems because you probably have a "user" account. Not being an administrator of the PC
you shouldn't have the right to modify the Windows directory.

You need to be given admin rights (but that's a lot)
or install Emule on another volume for which you won't have any issues,
(but it can also be C:\EMULE\).

I have no idea if I am a user or an administrator, as I'm not really knowledgeable about the subject ^^
The computer is mine, but how do you get administrator rights? Or how do you install Emule on another volume? (What is a volume anyway ^^?)

Thank you for your response :)

My poor Choupinette

I'm sorry, I help out with issues when I can, but what you need now is some guidance
. Buy yourself a few books...
A PC isn't magic and just clicking isn't enough, no matter what
operating system you're using.
Good luck and kisses

good evening Choupinette03
first of all, where did you get your version of eMule?
INFORMATION: eMule is free, open-source, and legal software. Some dishonest websites may offer you to pay to obtain this software. These practices, in addition to being scams, can lead you to have a buggy mule and/or limited performance. If you are in this situation, you should delete it and download the correct installer for free here: http://download.emule-french.org/
try reinstalling the real version first...
then here are some links that may be useful to you, don't hesitate to check the forum to configure your ports according to your router!

keep me posted, please!
good luck...

Choupinette03 · Answer

Thank you very much for your reply, but no improvement :(. I think I have to abandon Emule :)

moskito53 · Answer

Choupinette03, I think your mule has been poorly installed, uninstall it and download it again from the link: http://download.emule-french.org install it and let me know...

Choupinette03 · Answer

I uninstalled and reinstalled but the error messages still appear :/

moskito53 · Answer

open eMule by right-clicking > then, run as administrator... then update your servers like this...

moskito53 · Answer

To update the servers:
1) In the preferences tab, go to server... change value #1 to 5...
Then check boxes 1, 4, and 5...
Click on "edit", the notepad will open... enter this inside: http://serveurs.emule-french.org...
Click at the top on file, save, and then close... (don't forget to save!!!)
Now go to the server tab at the top of the screen, select any server from the list, right-click, and select delete all servers... turn off eMule and then restart it...
The server update occurs automatically on startup!
You should only have 30!

Choupinette03 · Answer

The error messages are no longer displayed, but I received this message upon restarting Emule:

"No server is listed in 'adresses.dat'. Place a list of servers with their addresses there to ensure automatic updates."

moskito53 · Answer

connect eMule...in the KAD tab, click on "recheck the firewall 2 or 3 times...
in the servers tab, click twice on any of the servers...(normally there are 30!)
wait a few minutes 2 or 3 to see if all the servers are recognized.
and check on the small planet at the bottom of the screen what color the arrows are: yellow=low ID
green=high ID

Choupinette03 · Answer

The problem is that Emule doesn't want to connect. In the Servers tab, there is nothing, and in the Kad tab, without being connected, when I click on Check Firewall, it says "discovering a node" and then nothing happens :/

moskito53 · Answer

You executed the server update incorrectly as indicated above!

Choupinette03 · Answer

I did as you said, but when I click on "edit," Notepad opens along with this message: "Unable to find the file C:\ProgramFiles\Emule\Config\addresses.dat. Do you want to create a new file?"

moskito53 · Answer

oui!

Choupinette03 · Answer

^^ That's what I did, and yet I still don't have any servers in the list.

moskito53 · Answer

Did you create a new folder: addresses.dat? (I think you have to rename it yourself, I'm not sure...) Then resume the update process mentioned above?

Choupinette03 · Answer

Ah no, I didn't recreate the file -__- I don't even know where to recreate it ( yeah, I'm really bad at computers ^^ )

moskito53 · Answer

ok, let's go see what's in your eMule folder! go to "my computer" ==> drive C:/ ==> program files ==> eMule... then double click to open your folder, and check if you have the file adresses.dat...

Choupinette03 · Answer

So in my case, I was on a computer, Acer, Emule and I don't have the adresses.dat file.

moskito53 · Answer

Alright! Let's create it then... You go back to your eMule folder, open it, on your page you right-click and in the menu that appears you go to "new," a submenu opens, you go to folder and click... Now you need to rename it! Hover over this new folder and right-click, =menu=>rename... addresses.dat... and that's it... If you haven't made a mistake, this folder will contain your servers, but you need to redo the server update operation mentioned above (oh yes!)...

Choupinette03 · Answer

I'm going crazy -__- I created the file, but when I click on edit, it says "Access Denied" -__-

moskito53 · Answer

Have you opened eMule in "administrator" mode? (right click then "run as...") In my opinion, you are not logged in as Admin on your PC... How many accounts do you have on the PC? That might be what's blocking you from installing software correctly, in my opinion...

Choupinette03 · Answer

I reopened in administrator mode but I still have "Access Denied." Yet I only have one account on the computer :/

moskito53 · Answer

There's a problem! Reopen eMule as an admin and go to the server tab at the top of the page, on the right, in the line: "Update server.met from URL", you enter: http://serveurs.emule-french.org and you click on update, let's see if it works...

Choupinette03 · Answer

It's good, I have a list of servers in the server tab! Should I repeat the operation from earlier?

moskito53 · Answer

wait no panic! how many servers do you have (marked at the top left of the page)... normally, there are just 30!

Choupinette03 · Answer

Yes, I have 30!

moskito53 · Answer

What antivirus do you have? Maybe it's blocking the proper installation of eMule! You need to adjust it, as well as your firewall, to allow eMule connections through...

Choupinette03 · Answer

The firewall is set, the Emule box is checked. I have Bit Defender as my antivirus.

moskito53 · Answer

Bit Defender! It's a good one! If you're still on eMule, we can do the basic settings if you want? Go to Preferences ==> Connections... What’s at the top of the page can be done later (settings for your ports in relation to your router) Check the box: automatic reconnection as well as the boxes: KAD and eD2K...

Choupinette03 · Answer

The 3 boxes are checked! I can connect now!

moskito53 · Answer

always in preferences==>remove inactive servers, you rate 5... then check boxes 1, 4, and 5 if you haven't done it before... apply after each operation, this will avoid having to redo everything if you make a mistake... in edit (which opens the notepad: http://serveurs.emule-french.org), click on display and save! then apply again!

moskito53 · Answer

Sure, where are you at right now?

Choupinette03 · Answer

I did what you told me, but when I click on edit, "access denied" still appears. I clicked OK, saved the address in Notepad. I can’t click on apply, only on OK. Emule is connected and I can download.

moskito53 · Answer

The problem is that I'm not sure that when you connect, you find the list of servers since they are not saved in the notepad!

Choupinette03 · Answer

Yes, yes, they are registered. When "access denied" appears, I click on ok. I then saved the link you gave me in Notepad. Then, I closed Emule and reopened it, and the list of servers is still there!

moskito53 · Answer

Ok! Did you also connect the kad? And tell me the color of your arrows on the ground at the bottom of the screen...

Choupinette03 · Answer

Yes, Kad is connected, but the arrows are yellow.

moskito53 · Answer

Very well, if you no longer have any launch issues with eMule, I invite you to go to the forum where you can configure your connection ports on your router, which is almost a necessary step since it is the only guarantee of optimal functioning! The "helpers" on the forum can provide you with the necessary links related to your ISP and your router! In eMule, simply click on IRC, you will be directed straight to the forum... Unless you have other questions that I can answer for you here?

Choupinette03 · Answer

Well, for now I don't have any questions! In any case, thank you very much for your help!!!

moskito53 · Answer

Ok, anyway I'm keeping this post aside in case you need to come back to it! I'm also on the eMule forum... and a few others... feel free to ask for a setup on the forum, it can take a little while sometimes with some tweaks but it's worth it and you’ll be good to go with your mule afterwards! Good luck!
