problems with automatic update of ifeffit on Windows
Hello all, we have some start-up delays (1 min) during some start-up's of the programs of the ifeffit packages. The systems are Windows XP systems. It seems, that the software can't connect to the update Server. Since our IT-Staffs deny to help to open the respective ports in the firewall, if I can't specify them, I search here for help. Can anybody specify the ports (out and in), which need to be open. Is there also an option to turn the update process off? Thanks in advance Stefan Mangold -- Dr. Stefan Mangold Institut für Synchrotronstrahlung Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Tel.: +49-7247-826073
Hi Stefan, Dominik's answer is essentially right (Thanks Dominik!). Just to add to that, I'd recommend replacing your Ifeffit\config\updater.ini file with this: [updater] next_checktime = next year update_site = http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ifeffit/updates/ timestamp = 1987654321.0 http_proxy = timeout_connect = 0.1 timeout_download = 0.1 timeout_test = 0.1 This will tell the updater to: 1. not look for updates again until 2032. 2. wait a year before trying again after that 3. take ~0.1 before deciding that the network is not alive and that it should give up. Sorry for the trouble, and hope that helps. --Matt PS: Of course, there might be a new version out before 2032....

Now, Matt... Don't go making promises we might not be able to keep!
