Broken ZeroHello site

[filips123]

ZeroHello site is broken. Tested in Firefox, Chrome and Edge with fresh-installed ZeroNet 0.6.5.

If I open browser console in Firefox, I see a lot of Content Security Policy errors.

But main problem is that http://127.0.0.1:43110/1HeLLo4uzjaLetFx6NH3PMwFP3qbRbTf3D/js/all.js is not found. It is same in all other browsers.

I just tested on a new installation and it's works for me.
Do you have all.js on your hdd data/1HeLLo.../js directory?
If you open log/debug.log is there a line that contains "Verify correct: js/all.js" (or any other reference to js/all.js?)
Whats the value of the "modified" node in the file "data/1Hello../content.json" ? (it should be 1553514828)

I think I know what's the problem.

I downloaded ZeroNet to Program Files on Windows because I want to use it globally. And this is probably the problem because ZeroNet.exe can't write to that folder.

Is it possible to fix this? If possible, I want to have log and data directories in %APPDATA%\ZeroNet.

[HelloZeroNet]

You can change by putting a zeronet.conf next to zeronet.exe:

[global]
log_dir = C:\ProgramData\ZeroNet\log
data_dir = C:\ProgramData\ZeroNet\data

This will put the data to c:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\ZeroNet\data
The %APPDATA% and other variables not supported yet.

[filips123]

I fixed this by adding the following lines to Config.py that check if the program is running from Program Files and then set start_dir to %APPDATA\ZeroNet.

        elif this_file.startswith("C:/Program Files"):
            # Running in non-writeable directory, put data to AppData
            start_dir = os.path.expandvars("%APPDATA%/ZeroNet").replace("\\", "/")

Is that OK? Or should I use %LOCALAPPDATA%?
If it is, I can submit a pull request.

[HelloZeroNet]

Yes, it's looks good for me. I think %LOCALAPPDATA% is the proper place for it. (does not travels on the network with the user)

I changed start_dir but there are still some problems.

Tor doesn't work. I get this error in ZeroHello:

Status: Error ([Errno 10061] [Error 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)

After stopping ZeroNet, processes still exist (ZeroNet.exe, meek-client.exe). I have to manually kill them from Task Manager.

These problems are probably because of non-writable directory because all things work if I run ZeroNet from the writable directory.

This is my log file after starting and stopping.

Can you make some installer for ZeroNet that will correctly set up all directories?

[filips123]

I created HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet#1972. Should I also submit it to py3 branch?
