  • mystic dir run error

    From seth hurst@3:633/412 to All on Tue Oct 27 22:28:23 2020
    so I am trying to setup mysticbbs to try out the nntp side. The config tells
    me to do ./mystic -l but when I do this it says file not found even thowe I'm in the same directory.

    Hello seth,

    even thowe I'm in the same directory.

    You may need to run ./mystic -cfg to configure your BBS before ./mystic -l will work.

    Greetings Alan!

    Should be able to do it before -cfg I believe.. Depending on how you installed mystic you may need to do sudo ./mystic -l for local login..

    I think you are right although a quick walk through the config wouldn't hurt anything. Looking at Seth's question again I think he may have been trying to run a 32bit build on a 64bit OS but I can't be sure of that.
