Hi,
I have been able to figure most of the directory stuff out (i.e. the download and publish URLs and the server itself). However, upon trying to run by own instance, I get the following traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/javex/mnt/laptop/Studium/master-thesis/src/mixminion/minion-cgi/publish", line 5, in <module> run() File "/home/javex/mnt/laptop/.shadow/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mixminion/directory/DirCGI.py", line 44, in run inbox = d.getInbox() File "/home/javex/mnt/laptop/.shadow/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mixminion/directory/Directory.py", line 139, in getInbox self.inbox = ServerInbox(self.inboxBase, self.getIDCache()) File "/home/javex/mnt/laptop/.shadow/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mixminion/directory/Directory.py", line 111, in getIDCache self.cache = IDCache(self.cacheFile,self._setCacheMode) NameError: global name 'IDCache' is not defined Some investigation showed that Nick removed the IDCache class in in 2005 (I know, this is 10 years ago...): commit 8ba0158c973f23e2e196a5673d0b58def83271b2 Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 3 03:26:50 2005 +0000 Most of the back-end for the Great Mixminion Directory Rewrite. Still needs more testing and more glue code I am now unsure if I should just re-add the class or take my directory code back to before this commit or whether there is something to fix here. I know there is a directory running, but I don't know if the publishing part even works today (I don't know what to send there and I get Error 500 if I call it without a valid descriptor). If there is a directory server running nowadays which version is it using?

If you look at [0] you can find where it pulls the directory from. Read all the relevant code to understand what's happening, make liberal use of 'pdb.set_trace()', and you ought to be able to figure out how to run your own. When you do, we'd all appreciate a blog post about it and you putting your edits in a github fork. =) -tom https://github.com/mixminion/mixminion/blob/master/lib/mixminion/ClientDirectory.py#L44 On 18 February 2015 at 05:03, Florian Rüchel <florian.ruechel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi there, I want to perform research on Mixminion. Specifically, I am interested to study whether Tor could offer a high-latency service similar to what Mixminion offers. For this I'd like to run Mixminion in a development mode where I run the whole network myself (using Shadow for the simulation). That is, I want to run the directory servers, all other servers and some clients. However, the docuemtnation & configuration file do not state how to operate such a network by myself. Is there a hardcoded part somewhere for the directory servers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Florian |
