 Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 6:50 am Post subject: miniupnp wiki for gentoo |
 |
|
Morning everybody
I`d been using for several years the linux-igd upnpd. Recently, i got a warning from portage that it has been deprecated.
So I got rid of it and installed the miniupnpd. Unfortunately, I don`t seem to be able to start it.
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/miniupnpd start
* Use of the opts variable is deprecated and will be
* removed in the future.
* Please use extra_commands, extra_started_commands or extra_stopped_commands.
* Not starting iptables. First create some rules then run:
* /etc/init.d/iptables save
* ERROR: iptables failed to start
* ERROR: cannot start miniupnpd as iptables would not start
|
Is there any wiki I can use, to get me started. I googled it but found nothing gentoo specific. |

miniupnpd seems to require iptables, which has not been setup.
assuming, that you do no want any iptables (firewall) running on that system, could try /etc/init.d/iptables save && /etc/init.d/iptables start?

| Nonetheless, i`m running shorewall & shorewall6 which if i`m correct, is just a frontend for iptables. |

nyes. shorewall is a frontend to netfilter (or even iptables).
but miniupnpd explicitly wants iptables.

depend() {
need net iptables
use minissdpd
}

maybe you can try to replace iptables with firewall in the miniupnpd init-script, to force it to use any firewall (or at least shorewall). If it works, you could file a bug against it.
just some idea

ok. I got it working by changing the init script to firewall, as you suggested.
| Code: |
depend() {
need net firewall
use minissdpd
}
|
Works fine now. Seems some sort of bug for me. |
