It works ; I got the same dialog btw. 
|
|
Should we update the error message then? |

changed the title

What happens exactly here which leads to this error? @sgourdas Any idea? |
|
That is pretty strange. From a quick look at the code, the only difference in flow that I can see, when no Regardless, even though it should be automatically initialized as an empty string we could still assign it explicitly when the -i option is not provided, just to ensure consistency, or remove the other assignments that do the same. I will try to test when as soon as I get time. |
|
@kelson42 is there a way for me to build kiwix-serve for Windows? |
|
@sgourdas ; you can using kiwix-build ; see the windows notes on the Wiki |
|
@sgourdas I believe this bug might be just fixed by properly analysing the code. |
|
@kelson42 let's see if this is fixed with kiwix/kiwix-tools#703 or else I have an idea. |
|
@sgourdas Can you please look at this issue (and test with latest nightly - tomorrow)? |
Yes, definitely in mind. |
|
@kelson42 issue is still present. It seems to have to do with attaching to ipv6 on Windows (this is why -i ipv4 works). I will have to investigate to know what specifically though. Will try tonight or tomorrow morning. |
|
@sgourdas Should I move the issue to libkiwix? |
Yes, the issue should probably be addressed there. The hard thing will be testing, since kiwix-tools Windows compilation with kiwix-build is broken AFAIK. I will try to investigate properly regardless. |
Can you please open a dedicated issue in kiwix-build repo? |
Opened kiwix/kiwix-build#760 |
Using https://tmp.kiwix.org/ci/dev_preview/zim-tools_windows/kiwix-tools_win-x86_64-2024-09-02.zip on Windows 11 (VM) I can't seem to start kiwix-serve.
Either as regular user or administrator, I always get the following error:
