  • Mystic webserver

    From Sparky@21:1/192 to All on Fri Feb 19 16:53:03 2021
    I decided to try out Mystic's built in web server and so far everything is
    ok. I did have to turn of "World Wide Web Publishing Service" in Win 10 to
    get Mystic's HTML server to start. Anyone have any thoughts on running this? Any big negatives I should be aware of?

    I ran it for about a week or so, I created my own pages and it ran pretty well.. I decided at that point then to move to Appache as it was more full featured. Now I just run it off my Synology NAS..

    You need to create a www directory in your webroot directory, then put your index.html and any other needed files in there with it.

    Then enable the webserver in your config and start or restart mis and it should work for you.

    Hiya,

    The setup should be something like this:

    /mystic/webroot/
    x:\bbsdir\webroot\

    In that dir you have 2 directories named:

    - cfg
    - www

    In dir www you have your index.html or whatever you want to name it and maybe some other directories.

    In mystic config you have: Servers -> HTTP
    Active Yes
    etc ...
    path to the root: /bbsdir/webroot/ or x:\bbsdir\webroot\

    Mystic BBS software does have a built in web server. Depending on what
    platform you are running (In my case WIN 10 32bit) it may fit your needs for hosting a simple website. First you need to create a directory off your main mystic directory called "webroot". Then you need to create two directories in "webroot" called "cfg and "www". Next go into Mystic Config and go to
    "servers" and "configure servers". If you don't see and entry for HTTP server you will need to use the / key to insert a a new server and select HTTP. The
    go to the the new entry and make it active (and enter IP information if needed). Escape out and Save when prompted. Now if you are running windows
    you will need to do to things, first make sure your firewall has a rule to allow port 80, the goto to services and look for "World Wide Web Publishing Services" and stop it, then change it to manual start up. The last step is to make sure you have port 80 (or what ever port your using for your web site)forwarded on your router. If I have missed anything I am sure someone
    will let me know.
