• .tic file processing

    From Charles Pierson@21:1/100 to All on Monday, December 21, 2020 12:49:14
    I'm still not getting it. I've checked everything I can find, previous
    examples here, the wiki.., but tic files and nodelists still aren't
    processing.

    As far as I can tell, I've set everything up exactly as it should be.

    Is there a generic .ini file anywhere that I can see to compare to figure out what simple mistake I've made that I'm missing?

    Thanks

    Here are the two Mystic wikis on tossing TIC files and compiling nodelists:

    http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=mutil_file_toss

    http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=mutil_merge_node_lists


    TL;DR:

    Make sure you have (similar) to the following in an .ini that you want to use to toss TIC files:

    [general]
    Filetoss = true

    [Filetoss]
    bad_dir = c:\mystic\files\badfile
    unsecure_dir = false
    allow_unsecure = false
    no_desc=No Description
    uploader=Mystic TIC
    check_crc = true
    check_size = true
    allow_replace = true
    auto_create = true
    dir_prefix = c:\mystic\files\fdn_
    dispfile =
    template = ansiflst
    acs_list = s10
    acs_ftp = s10
    acs_download = s20
    acs_upload = s50
    acs_hatch = s50
    acs_sysop = s255
    free_files = 0
    show_uploader = 1
    new_scan = 1

    ;Define Specific Auto-Create Settings Based On Sender
    21:1/100_bad_dir = c:\mystic\files\badfile_fsxnet\
    21:1/100_dir_prefix = c:\mystic\files\fsxnet_
    21:1/100_allow_replace = true
    21:1/100_acs_list = s10z1
    21:1/100_acs_ftp = s20z1
    21:1/100_acs_download = s20z1
    21:1/100_acs_upload = s255z1
    21:1/100_acs_hatch = s255z1
    21:1/100_acs_sysop = s255z1


    And for nodelists:

    [general]
    MergeNodeLists = true

    [MergeNodeLists]
    nodefile=/home/pi/mystic/files/fdn_FSX_NODE/FSXNET nodefile=/home/pi/mystic/files/fdn_NODELIST/NODELIST nodefile=/home/pi/mystic/files/fdn_SCINODE/scinet


    Contents of each of the above directories:

    pi@bbs:~ $ ls /home/pi/mystic/files/fdn_FSX_NODE/
    FSXNET.Z60

    pi@bbs:~ $ ls /home/pi/mystic/files/fdn_NODELIST/
    NODELIST.Z04 NODELIST.Z18 NODELIST.Z32 NODELIST.Z46 NODELIST.Z97 NODELIST.Z11 NODELIST.Z25 NODELIST.Z39 NODELIST.Z53

    pi@bbs:~ $ ls /home/pi/mystic/files/fdn_SCINODE/
    scinet.z11 scinet.z18 scinet.z25 scinet.z39 scinet.z46 scinet.z53


    Do you have anything in mystic/logs/mutil.log that might give us any hints as to what's going on? (Bad TIC password for example?)

    If you want to email me the ini files you're using (or post them here), I'm happy to take a look, just sent them to sysop[at]nrbbs.net.

    Like I figured that at least part of it was a simple error. .tic files
    finally processed, I had a bad directory name.

    Unfortunately, apparently only fsxnet is sending .tic files to me. So I need
    to fix that.


    Thanks

    Be sure to set mutil logging to level 3 and just check if there's anything in there. It could be a missing bad files directory or similar causing a fatal error perhaps?
