/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter Error

Eclipse file saving and /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter

The source of the error is having a bash file saved with line delimiter in Windows style rather the Unix format. To fix this you can use the 'dos2unix' linux utiltiy:

$> aptitude install dos2unix
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  dos2unix 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
                                         
$> dos2unix <file_to_fix>.sh 
dos2unix: converting file <file_to_fix>.sh to UNIX format ...

Eclipse new line delimter setting

But this post is about setting the Eclipse IDE to save in the Unix format, so let's get to it.

To do so, right click on the 'project' in your navigation pane, select 'properties', and under the 'Resource' tab ensure to specify the 'New text file line delimiter' is set to Unix as shown above; while you at it select the same encoding as on your server which most likley is UTF-8.

If you have 'Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Show whitespace characters' enabled then you will be able to notice the encoding at a glance.

Softeher 'Error occurred. (Error code: 2)' sollution

Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server. The Softether server by default to run on port 443 , if you server also hosts normal https then 443 is already taken and so Softether can't bind to it. When you run `vpncmd` it attempts to connect, find an active port, but of course fails with 'Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server.' because it's not actually connecting to the vpn server. By default Softether also listens on 992 , 1194 , and 5555 so the sollution is to modify specify `localhost:5555` when executing the `vpncmnd`. If this has helped you feel free to comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows .
