Observed Results:

Webpage loading took ages (and it didn't load); error messages seen in zeronet service logs.

Expected Results:

I expected to see a zeronet welcome webpage? It redirected me from / to 1HeLLo4uzjaLetFx6NH3PMwFP3qbRbTf3D but it didn't load in any acceptible time.

The latest release on GitHub (v0.7.1 from Sep 6, 2019) seems to be outdated. The zeronet AUR package depends on that release. The zeronet-git package may work though. Make sure to delete /opt/zeronet when you reinstall, and then ensure the branch is set to py3 before you start the zeronet service.

sudo rm -rf /opt/zeronet
yay -S zeronet-git
cd /opt/zeronet
sudo git checkout py3
sudo systemctl start zeronet

Python 3.8 doesn't support cgi.parse_qsl. I'll make a PR right now.

Actually, the code in the GitHub repository is correct. However, the AUR package looks really outdated. The maintainer should probably update it.

The patch was committed at November 14, AUR was updated in October. I'm not registered on AUR (nor can I, sh*tty captcha I can't pass on Ubuntu) so either @HelloZeroNet or someone who's registered should probably mark the package as outdated.

Marked it out-of-date.

there is no issue if you use the tar from the readme here so the issue isn't zeronet per se

ubone on 27 Apr 2020

AUR maintainer here. This is an upstream issue. Please ask @HelloZeroNet to make a release (motivated by the fact that latest release no longer works on newest Python, according to commenters above).

@ubone the tarball linked in the README is unreleased source code. See the Releases tab.
