i2pd daemon does not start

[5nefarious (Arvin Ignaci)]

There seem to be some directory permission issues. i2pd needs access to /opt/local/var/db/i2pd, /opt/local/var/run/i2pd, and /opt/local/var/log/i2pd. These directories seem to be created during the install and are owned by root. However, the daemon itself runs under the user _i2pd and cannot access these directories as needed. I had to manually change the permissions of these directories to get the service to run.

Thanks for letting us know, we will address this.

I can't reproduce this issue :(

    A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting i2pd with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:
    
        sudo port load i2pd
√ macports-ports % ls -la /opt/local/var/log | grep i2pd
