I keep getting several errors since updating to 3.20b, and they are:

term Node 1 !ERROR in printfile.cpp line 291 (sbbs_t::menu) checking "C:\sbbs\text\menu/../banner.msg" access=0

next one

evnt QNET !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (EinError 2) in main.cpp line 3195 (event_thread) removing "C:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk" access=0

Any help is appreciated

term Node 1 !ERROR in printfile.cpp line 291 (sbbs_t::menu) checking "C:\sbbs\text\menu/../banner.msg" access=0

Does the file text/banner.msg exist? This file is included in the stock text directory and there's a reference to it in the stock text/answer.msg, so it seems you have the stock answer.msg file but not the banner.msg file.

next one

evnt QNET !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (EinError 2) in main.cpp line 3195 (event_thread) removing "C:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk" access=0

If you look further back in the event log, do you see other errors?

There was a copy of banner.msg in \data and again in \text\menu, but not in \text so I copied it there.

next one

evnt QNET !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (EinError 2) in main.cpp line 3195 (event_thread) removing "C:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk" access=0

I will have to take a look, but I am sure there are other errors. I just didn't want to post them all at once.

Read the answers that DM has posted to you AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE IRC CHANNEL. You seem to not see anything there that people post to you, or you're just ignoring the answers.

Pull your head out of your ass and pay attention.

I read this on your previous message:

Both systems is using the same sbbs directory c:\users\phil\sbbs\

Do you see a difference between the line above and your errors you posted?

We've been discussing this error in IRC and it appears that phil's system is "losing" the SBBSCTRL environment variable at some point while running sbbsctrl.exe (re-starting sbbsctrl.exe gets the environment variable back). jsexec and useredit.exe needs that environment variable to know where to find the configuration files (e.g. main.ini and friends) and when the environmetn variable isn't set, then it reverts to the default of "/sbbs/ctrl/". Phil's been using the File->Run->File Manager option a lot, so it could be related to that.

While I completely understand environment variables and paths (and knew what the topic was just by his errors), I'm definitely clueless to how a system magically loses an environment variable if it is set properly.

FIX THIS FOR HIM DIGITAL MAN PLEASE. :D

This only happens on a Phil system.
