Greetings All!


Is there anywhere else that a ticpassword needs to be other sbbsecho.ini? we are setting up net 105 and cant seem to get sbbs to process the tic files, it wants to, it sees them but complains of password problems. I have verified on the same screen with both configs on at the same time and they match each end perfectly. I looked in tickit.ini (I think thats file name) and I dont see mention of passwd in there and the other networks seem to toss their .tics fine. so I am kind of at a loss as to why it doesnt see and match the passwords..

This is a frequently asked question these days: it appears tickit.js doesn't support 5D addresses used in the [node:] sections of sbbsecho.ini. If you don't need them (and you likely don't) remove the "@domain" portions of your linked node addresses in echocfg/sbbsecho.ini.

I have been tossing files in fsxnet and the linked node does have a domain listed in sbbsecho.ini. I haven't tried tossing files in fidonet yet.

My aka is a point. I wonder if that makes a difference?

Perhaps. Or maybe it's something else in the TIC file that makes it 5D-happy (or not).

I don't think you need both "dir" and "path" set there.

Double-check your SCFG->File Areas. It sounds like you do not have a directory configured there with an internal code of "DAILYLIST".

You were right I had a typo well sort of, internal code only allowed for DAILYLIS I didnt notice that... So that error isnt present now.. Now it complains about path and I have tripled checked in scfg, tickit.ini and the actual path and they all match... so not sure what else to check.. sorry about this..

Note: I did write tickit.js nor have I ever actually run it. I'm just reading the wiki page and the source (exec/tickit.js).

You cannot have both "Dir" and "Path" defined for a given area. They
are mutually exclusive.

Here: http://wiki.synchro.net/module:tickit#ctrl_tickitini

Also I think the Dir= line (the internal code) is limited to 8
characters.

I finally just got it to toss... It still showed an error but it did process the file correctly and placed it in the correct dir.. For your reference this was the output.

Do you not see the message here that I posted to you yesterday?

You CANNOT have both a 'Dir' and a 'Path' specified for a given area.
It's one or the other. Not both.

Read the Wiki page that I referenced you yesterday.
