Have you spelled the config file name correctly?

Yes, would I normally do, I just drag the file in terminal. I found this quite odd, even the sample file named "example.cfg" has the some issue.

I don't know how important this is but I forgot to mention I am on a PowerBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Thank you for any idea.

Is the file in the directory you're running the server? (I know nothing about MacOS, so I'm just guess at possible problems that could give a "file not found".)

yes pljones, it is. However I have solved this problem and the server start up but I bumbed in this other one:

gCs-MacBook-Pro-2:NinjamOSXServer gc$ ./ninjamsrv Server.cfgNINJAM Server v0.01a ALPHA built on Jul 7 2005 at 14:26:31 starting up...
Copyright (C) 2005, Cockos, Inc.
Server starting up...
Port: 2049
Error listening on port 2049!
Using defaults 120 BPM 8 BPI

I have the port open in my router and I also tryed to disable #ACL 10.0.0.0/8 deny line but still the server can't listen to the port!

I am trying to run this from a folder on desktop.

More help please?

Only two things I can think of:

- Something else is already using 2049

- 2049 is "privileged"

In either case, you could try a different port. Try something around 17000 initially.

Many thanks pljones but unfortunatelly I have the some results.

I think your first thout is correct, I noticed that ninjamsrv process is running many time with different pid numbers, even with the terminal off and actually I dont know how to stop it! that's really odd.

I just re-booted the computer and doesn't complain anymore about the port:

NINJAM Server v0.01a ALPHA built on Jul 7 2005 at 14:26:31 starting up...
Copyright (C) 2005, Cockos, Inc.
Server starting up...
Port: 2049
Using defaults 120 BPM 8 BPI

but just stoped here waiting for something, what I suppose to do now to complete the sturtup?

also how can I stop the process, if I quit the terminal the process still gos on and if I try again, onther process starts and obviously start complain again. The killall -HUP ninjamsrv command at bottom of the setup guide doesn't work.

Looks that this guide for Mac is quite dated as the ninjamsrv is a PPC process, any chance for new guide for intel mac osx?

Thanks for your patience.

The last thing I´m doing is this:

Once you've set the configuration the way you think you will like it, you can run the server:
On OS X/Linux/FreeBSD (OS X will require you to open a terminal and go to the proper directory):
./ninjamsrv configfilename.cfg
On Windows (after opening a command line, and going to the proper directory):
ninjamsrv configfilename.cfg


I open terminal and run the path of the file

/ECL/eclninjamserver

But Terminal tells me this:

-bash: /ECL/eclninjamserver: is a directory

Sorry pljones for me being so nuisance...

I´m really in a mess with this but I know I´m near.

Today I could connect to a public server and I´ve been jamming with some user.

The only thing I need are the last step for configuring my private server for practising with my band companion who is not living near me right now.

Then... what I should exactly have to do, write this in terminar and that´s it??


./ninjamsrv "my template changed file name".cfg

Thanks and sorry again...I now nothing about server cofigurations and all that.

Fine. That's the directory where your Ninjam server lives, I suppose. You just need to add the program to start. Please try in Terminal:

Code:
./ninjamsrv configfilename.cfg
or

Code:
~/ECL/eclninjamserver/ninjamsrv configfilename.cfg
You did open "configfilename.cfg" in a text editor and changed whatever needed to be changed and saved that?

It could be configfilename.cfg has been saved (by you?) under a different filename. Ninjam.cfg, fi. To find that out:

Code:
cd ~/ECL/eclninjamserver/
ls -al
That will list everything in that directory. And you'll see the .cfg file.

Also, note that you need to forward a port in your local router. Your internet box. Port forwarding might be named differently, since you mention you've "opened" a port. That might look like:

Code:
forward 2049 -> 192.168.2.2
But your ip (192.168.2.2 in the example) is dynamic, driven by the DHCP server in the router. It will change some day, to 192.168.2.4, fi. To do this reliably, you might consider setting up your PC with a static ip. That doesn't change and port forwarding will keep working.

I hope this makes a bit of sense. If not, ask.

Ah. OK. Didn't remember that ninjamsrv drilled it's way out. Fine. Maybe it works without forwarding ports.

Yeah. I know. Lots of tests cause I don't know the directory structure on your machine.

You're not doing anything wrong. I cut the tests that gave no result.

Your ninjam server lives in ~/ECL/eclninjamserver/. Now it still doesn't start, but we have a different error. I think "bad CPU type in executable" means you have found an ancient version that no longer runs on recent Macs. Or is this a bogus error? I'm lost here.

This is not the listing I was hoping for.

In the Finder, make a new window. Click on your user folder (ECL) in the sidebar.

See if you find a folder "eclninjamserver" there. Open it and do command-a followed by command-c. Paste here. That might allow me to see versions etc.

OK.

Decided to look up the latest version. If this page is current,

http://www.cockos.com/ninjam/

It no longer runs on Intel Macs. Since a while now, the PPC emulator isn't part of OSX anymore. So the error isn't bogus and there's no fix. Sorry.

No.

It means you can't use the pre-compiled binary on the web site.

That does not stop you compiling the source.
