  • Strange error!

    From Lesser Keys@VERT/STARR to All on Wednesday, April 15, 2015 16:21:11
    I am getting a strange error.

    Wed Apr 15 2015 03:04 pm
    Node 2 !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (WinError 2) in exec.cpp line 748 opening "c:\sbbs\exec\MODNAME.bin" access=0

    I have no modname.bin Is there something I am overlooking?

    Thanks,

    It would help to know what actions were done just before that error appeared. Without that information, all we can say is that something on your BBS is trying to run a module called MODNAME.

    Something I noticed recently was that there's a message posted in the Synchronet Baja message area that contains an @-code to execute a module called MODNAME (it was actually you who posted that message - it has the subject "custom matrix login menu"). If your BBS is interpreting @-codes in messages rather than displaying them literally, that could cause your BBS to try to execute the module.

    Yeah about the @codes@. I wasn't running that mod at the time. I was playing around with it, trying to find ways to make my cursor move. I'm going to have to look through my script files, and see which one is making calls to that module.

    Thanks,

    It could just be the message you posted. When displaying messages posted or sent by the sysop, @-codes are interpretted by the terminal server. This include @-codes which instruct it to execute an external module. This why when discussing @-codes, I try to use the lower-case version of them to avoid inadvertent interpretation of them.

    You know what? I believe that's when the error occured. I will change the @-code to lowercase. I really appreciate your help sir!
