• SBBSLIST v4 error

    From Bill McGarrity@TEQUILAM to All on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 10:25:00
    Hiya gang...

    Just updated my Pi with all the latest and greatest (v3.17a). While updating I saw LOTS of DNDEBUG statements which I am assuming is not an issue. In my bash at the end when it updates, I run jsexec update.js and get the following...

    Installing SBBSLIST v4 (replacing SBl v3)
    Synchronet BBS List v4(1.34)
    Upgrading from: ../xtrn/sbl/sbl.dab
    !@Error 2 opening ../xtrn/sbl/sbl.dab

    Now at this point in time I only use the Pi's for SBBSECHO and am assuming being I haven't run ./sbbs none of the files needed for the upgrade have been created.

    Am I correct in assuming this?

    Also, in the future I want to run ./sbbs I should do a fresh install?

    Thanks..

    You can safely ignore that. It just means you (or anyone) never ran the SBL door on that system, which probably isn't that uncommon. I'll fix that error in the upgrade process.

    Am I correct in assuming this?

    Not unless you want to for some specific reason. A fresh install shouldn't be necessary.

    Great... figured that. :)

    Should I run the SBL door using JSEXEC so it can create one?

    OK...

    Right now I don't have plans to do it but one never knows.. :)

    Thanks Rob!!

    When I say "SBL", I'm referring (usually) the old Synchronet BBS List door (v1-v3), written in C and using a clumsy flat-file database (sbl.dab). Since it's a native program (not JavaScript), you can't execute it using JSexec.

    The new "SBBSLIST" (v4) replaces the old SBL. You don't need an SBL.DAB file. In fact I made changes to sbbslist.js to insure that. You should be able to run sbbslist.js without any sbl.dab or sbbslist.json file. The sbl.dab is not really *used* by sbbslist v4, it just supports upgrading from that old database (sbl.dab) to the new sbbslist.json, automagically, if needed.

    OK... :) Actually I meant SBBSLIST originally but it seems you've already taken care of that in the latest build.

    I saw that when I did the latest update. All is well here...

    Thanks..
