I made an error in doing changes in Syncronet. I have everything almost back to way it was. However, The games that game wit the 3.16a install, 4 of them now do not work. Boggle gives an error of file/directory not found and tries to execute from exec folder. I checked for typos and made sure it was correct, but still wants to do the same thing. for the others I get an error of "unknown module" and of course it doesn't run. Remeber I had overwrittn my ctrl folder with the sbbs_run.zip I found on vert. So that is how my setup was lost. Anyone have suggestion on how I might correct this. Besides calling me a dumb noob please provide something helpful. Thanks.

My suggestion is to take one game at a time and paste the full exact error message along with your configuration (from SCFG) and your json-service.ini contents.

The json-service.ini for some reason did not have information on these games. I have a setup on another computer that was installed with your full release install of 3.16a and I copied the ini file from there to my active board.

Games work now except for one, it hangs up, loads, but hangs the board up. Also now after I did that copy of the ini file on startup the sbbsctrl app displays in the services window that "user not found: Zazz" That's my sysop account, but I am able to login with that account.

Strange. There must be more to that error message, some kind of prefix or something indicating what service is logging the error. Please provide the complete exact error message.

The json-service.js seems to think tha the user "Zazz" does not exist in your userbase. I'm not sure, but maybe it's a case-sensitivity issue (you have "zazz" but not "Zazz"?) Or maybe the user doesn't actually exist in the userbase?

There is a user named Zazz, because that is the sysop account, record one, and I can login with that user name. I will check on the case.

Zazz is the sysop account, rec 1. It is spelled Zazz in the user file. I
can login with no problem. I tried changing the alias from Zazz to Zog and then restarted synchronet and got the same error with the name of Zog.

So I am at a loss of what to do. Could there be some kind of corruption? I debated of starting all over again with a new install, the one you made available last May. But I do not want to re-enter my doors again. I don't mind redoing the message bases. Anyway to save anything? I do see the export in the SBBS control panel, but I don't believe that saves info in the xternal portion of scfg.

Also the other reason I am considering restarting is that the rlogin from the web (flash telnet) times out with no connect. It was working when I first
set this up.

Interesting. I guess the author of json-service.js (mcmlxxix, Matt) will need to chime in with suggestions at this point.

I suppose it's possible, but if everything else is working correctly, probably not.

Then don't. I'm sure what you have is a solvable problem (with "starting all over again").
