file:/// how to enable it ?
When i try to configure kmyfirewall i get a message like this :
file:///root/xxxx.kmgfrs not found
Also when i try to setup a local repo for pacman, pacman doesn' t seem to be able to find the db.

Re: file:/// how to enable it ?
it should already be "enabled". Try to just type file:/// into your browser of choice and it should display the root directory. Are you sure that /root/xxxx.kmgfrs exists?
As for the pacman part. Did you follow the wiki Local repository HOW-TO?
Wow, the wiki forum mod sure is nice.

Re: file:/// how to enable it ?
file:/// works from a browser, so it looks like that is working, atleast for logged-in users.
I've tried to use this :
Custom local repository with ABS and gensync .
gensync gave no problems, but it seems archlinux is VERY strict on security.
pacman run as root IS NOT allowed to access file:// or ftp:// links.
I guess i must use pacman -A until i figure out how to get an ftp-server up.

Re: file:/// how to enable it ?
Once you gensync your repo. You should be able to use it by adding it to pacman.conf
[custom]
Server = file:///home/custompkgsIs this where pacman gives you errors?

Re: file:/// how to enable it ?
found it.
at first i had this :
[Lone_Wolf]
Server = file:///home/ftp/Lone_Wolf-repo
this gave the error that pacman couldn't open the db Lone_Wolf.
then i changed it to this :
[Lone_Wolf-repo]
Server = file:///home/ftp/Lone_Wolf-repo
now it works.
It appears the name of the repo needs to match the directory.

Re: file:/// how to enable it ?
was Lone_Wolf the name of your db.tar.gz? Thats what it should be looking at anyway.

Re: file:/// how to enable it ?
at first the db file was named Lone_Wolf.db.tar.gz , while the directory was named Lone_Wolf-repo.
Now in pacman.conf, folder and db-file i use Lone_Wolf-repo.
