Hiya Sam...

Okay I have a problem that I just cant seem to figure out I have all my directorys for file area's but the dont show up on the file area I have read the docs and everything seems to be okay but on the bottom of the screen it shows 0 for file area's what am i missing?

I am assuming you've run SCFG and setup all the file areas along with the correct parent directory? Do you have your file areas on a different drive? If so, I believe you need to go to File Options and setup an alternative path as well.

Keep us posted..

Not exactly sure I'm understanding you here, but I'll give it a shot.

Did you configure all your file areas with SCFG? That should have created the file areas on your Synchronet BBS, as well as created the file areas on your hard drive.

Did you have permissions to create the file areas where you did?

Where, exactly, is it showing 0 for file areas? I don't know where "on the bottom" is. If you can post some more specific information, I'll gladly see what I can do to help. :)

Regards,
Nick

what screen are you looking at?
how did you get to that screen?

we cannot look over your shoulder and see what you see... you need to be more explicit in your problem description and how you got to it ;)

Perhaps provide a copy/paste of what you're talking about. I'm not clear if you're saying you have 0 file *areas* or 0 *files* in an area.

Synchronet comes with some generic pre-configured file areas, so unless you deleted them in SCFG->File Areas, you should at least have a "Main" file area (library) with a few directories.

What shows in "file explorer" (I assume you mean Windows Explorer?) is irrelevant. What matters is what you have configured in SCFG->File Areas and what files you have *added* to your file area databases (see http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:files#adding_files for details).

and you are seeing the 0 where mine shows 10? what do you have the access permissions set to for your files areas? that's the only thing i can think of right now that would make it appear that you have no areas available to your user account...
