  • Visit https://invite.maidsafe.net.
  • Click on the SAFE Network logo.
  • Select ‘Alpha 2’.
  • Update your registered IP (if it doesn’t match the Current IP listed)
  • Copy and paste the invitation token into the Invitation field on the Authenticator.
    • this step is only required when creating an account to begin with.

Strange, I can log into my account but when I try to load a page I get this error (linux 64 bit)

Edit: I’ve restarted the browser and now it works

Interesting. That means the browser app (separate to the authenticator) hadn’t managed to initialise (aka was probably still trying to reach a server).

Do you have any logs @digipl ? (normally at: $TMPDIR/safe-browser.log )

Only this

[2019-04-30 12:50:18.860] [error] Error in authFromStoreResponse
[2019-04-30 12:50:18.862] [error] Unexpected (probably a logic error): Could not connect to the SAFE Network

[2019-04-30 12:53:28.690] [error] SAFE Fetch error: 1001 Setup Incomplete. Connection not available yet.

Analyzing the timings, I think the first four warnings 12:50:18 to 12:50:31 are before changing the IP.
I changed my IP and login without problems.
The two Fetch error are two attempts to load a page after the login.
After the two error, and surprised by the message “Setup Incomplete. Connection not available yet.” I run the Web Hosting Manager to check if the connection worked. WHM was fine.
With the WHM open, I tried three different pages and all three show the error.
I closed both, the WHM and the Browser, restarted the Browser and everything worked properly.

Hmmm, okay this confirms some things thanks. We’ve seen a few, unreproducible incidents of connection troubles.

This seems like it’s more than ‘isolated’ though. Looks like I’ve got some digging to do!

Thanks @digipl

You will have to wait until the browser is updated for use with the current tests, and the next test is started.

We’re very excited and impatient for this, but the devs are working on the network rather than the browser right now.

10 minutes, breathing from life…
and wondering

what’s the plan for the SAFE browser?
with the switch to libp2p…etc etc
I suppose XOR needs to be fixed first?

I suspect Joshuef is best equipped for bringing that back to life if/once he can focus on it.
