can't register when newsbin is installed via Wine

Postby sonics » Mon Dec 24, 2007 6:17 am

I use Sabayon - gentoo - distribution.
I installed Wine 0.9.51
I installed newsbin 5.35. When started up I try to register my newsbin but it gives this error:

Registration failed with error HTTP/1.1 409 - key not found in key database.

When using newsbin in windows xp registration worked.

What can I do about this?

This doesn't sound like a wine issue. It's more like you entered it wrong from the error message.

I did copy / paste it.

Would there be a same error message when there would not be an internet connection to check registration key?

When I will be back home I will uninstall wine, install it again and try to install / reg newsbin again.

Maybey I am missing something configuring wine. I don't have any experience with wine yet.

I think this is a nbp problem. You probably want to email tech support.

I had a problem registering when running nbp through wine. I was on IRC and Dexter figured it out real time. It it was due to a problem with wine not providing registration information needed by nbp. (Dex knows what the exact problem was.)
