    From Havok@1:103/705 to All on Mon Dec 9 08:30:29 2019
    Hello all

    I have a question on sbbs linux, I have two error messages:

    I have to imput export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl every time I boot sbbs up and I followed to the letter with the docs on Ubuntu sbbs.service And it's loaded by checking.

    The other one is error 13 (Premission denied) creating directory /sbbs/netmail Even that seems wrong being it seems it should show, /home/bbs/sbbs/netmail being for me setting.

    Other then that it runs sweet!

    Thanks...

    Hello all

    I have a question on sbbs linux, I have two error messages:

    I have to imput export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl every time I boot sbbs up and I followed to the letter with the docs on Ubuntu sbbs.service And it's loaded by checking.

    What does "loaded by checking" mean? I'm not really sure what you mean by "boot sbbs up" either.

    The SBBSCTRL environment variable should be set before running sbbs, but if/when it's not set, sbbs will use the default ("/sbbs/ctrl"), so I'm not clear why you "have to" set it explicitly.

    The other one is error 13 (Premission denied) creating directory /sbbs/netmail Even that seems wrong being it seems it should show, /home/bbs/sbbs/netmail being for me setting.

    Is /sbbs a symlink to /home/bbs/sbbs? If so, then either path will work. Earlier in this message you stated that your your SBBSCTRL path is /sbbs/ctrl, so /sbbs/netmail seems the correct path.

    In any case, this path is configured in SCFG->Networks->FidoNet.

    Well what I have for a install is home/bbs/sbbs and everytime I kick up the server it asks for SET SBBSCTRL=/SBBS/CTRL so I imput as I did as the fresh install, export SBBSCTRL= /home/bbs/sbbs/ctrl but then have to do it every time
    I startup the server.

    As for the path error I saw that the first time and thought that isn't right. But, but where to fix it?

    Thanks for your time I know your a busy dude!

    If you are setting the env via a terminal it will discard that when the terminal is closed. are you starting sbbs -d or as a system service?

    you could use a #sh script:

    To configure:

    #!/bin/bash
    export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
    /sbbs/exec/scfg

    To run:

    #!/bin/bash
    export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
    /sbbs/exec/sbbs

    To run at boot:
    cd /etc/init.d
    sudo wget 'http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/init.d/sbbs.debian'
    sudo mv sbbs.debian sbbs
    sudo chmod ugo+x sbbs
    sudo /etc/init.d/sbbs start


    hope this helps

    "startup the server" means what? Start the computer or sbbs or what? A normal server/daemon is started via startup script or systemd config file. That's where you'd set SBBSCTRL to the right value. http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:systemd

    As for the path error I saw that the first time and thought that isn't right. But, but where to fix it?

    Like I said, SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->NetMail.

    that's an example... you are supposed to put it as your real path...


    imput as I did as the fresh install, export SBBSCTRL=
    /home/bbs/sbbs/ctrl but then have to do it
    every time I startup the server.

    in your home directory, find and edit your .bashrc file... add your export line to the end of it with the proper path... also make sure all the paths defined are pointing properly, too...
