Fixing my Oekaki board
6 years ago
Hey, if you didn't know my oekaki is still there... and registration is fixed I've removed some functionality that no longer works, at least until I get around to fixing it. there's probably still plenty not working, if you find something, feel free to message me on Telegram (I'll see it faster there... @bluefurry)
Some things you should be aware of:
1. Registration no longer emails an activation key, the activation is there on the screen after you register (it's obfuscated a little to stop bots)
2. Don't forget your password, because password recovery isn't working yet
3. Already forgot your password, I can set it to something new and send it to the email on record, ping me on Telegram (@bluefurry)
4. The app is still java... you'll need to use something other than chrome as it no longer supports java. you'll also have to jump through hoops to get it to work, I don't have a tutorial for that, but if someone figures it out, feel free to post it below. It has to do with security permissions in java and internet options. I've gotten it to work, you probably can too.
5. Even without java access, you can still view and comment. Everyone likes comments esp
argonvile who still draws there after all this time.
6. Set up a Telegram channel, noone in there yet but: https://t.me/bluefurry_oekaki
Made it this far? the URL is the same as it's always been: http://www.bluefurry.com

Bless you, good sir
Shit runs fine.
thanks for putting in so much work to keep the site running! i really appreciate it
1. Adding bluefurry.com to your list of java security exception sites
By default Java will block any unsigned java programs, so Guppy's drawing program won't run. To draw, you need to add bluefurry.com to the "exception site list" so that the program will load in your browser.
In the start menu, go to "Configure Java". Under the security tab, there is a section marked 'Exception Site List'. Click 'Edit Site List'.
Add the following entries. (These might not all be necessary, but some of them are.):
https://www.bluefurry.com/
https://www.bluefurry.com/paintbbs/draw.php
https://www.bluefurry.com/paintbbs/pch_view.php
2. Adding the bluefurry.com IP address to your java.policy files
By default Java will not allow an applet to make a network connection except to the host that it came from. The drawing program is served up by bluefurry.com, but tries to call back to 107.206.254.11 (bluefurry's IP address.) This is sort of the same thing but Java doesn't like it, so you have to change a java configuration file so that your drawings can get uploaded.
Locate the directory corresponding to your java installation (Mine was in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_231)
Launch a text editor as an administrator. I launched Notepad by opening my start menu, locating "Notepad", right-clicking it and selecting Run As Administrator.
In your text editor, edit the java.policy file located in <java installation>\lib\security\java.policy. Add the following string to the grant section. The IP address and port, "107.206.254.11:80" correspond to bluefurry.com.
grant {
....
permission java.net.SocketPermission "107.206.254.11:80", "connect, resolve";
}
Repeat these steps for any other java installations still being used (I had a second one in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\). Restart your browser and try again.
Troubleshooting:
If you still get some kind of an error where the applet won't launch, like, "java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied", there is a problem with your Exception Site List. Verify the URLs are typed correctly and that they start with https.
If you still get an error when uploading your picture, like "access denied ("java.net.SocketPermission" "107.206.254.11:80" "connect, resolve")", there is a problem with your java.policy file. Verify the permission was added to the correct section of the file, that the IP address and port are typed correctly and that it ends with a semicolon. Try locating other java installations as well, and making the same java.policy fix to those. Different browsers sometimes use different java configurations, so try accessing bluefurry.com in other browsers to see if uploading works there.
