Run "jsexec update.js" in your "exec" directory.

If you're not really useing the QOTD (quote of the day) service, just disable it. I don't think those errors are hurting anything however.

No, the scripts (e.g. *.src and *.js) from the "exec" directory are not included in sbbs_dev.zip.

The run-time files, including all scripts/modules for the exec and exec/load directories are in CVS as well as archived daily into sbbs_run.zip (and .tgz).

Rob,

You need to update your exec and exec/load directories too.

Well, I screwed something up big time when I did...because in
unzipping the SBBS_DEV.ZIP and SBBS_RUN.ZIP, I lost all the cfg files, directories, etc. So, I restored from a backup late last year (Dec. 30,
2017), and have decided to wait until the full release of SBBS 3.17,
before trying that again.

It sounds like you over-wrote files in your CTRL directory. Don't do that.

Okay. But you should also probably practice unzipping without

Check CVS web and download that file or the JS or SRC version of it and compile it and see what it does, if you follw the sync programming echo you may notice they are working with putting avatars with every user, So I would say this is it..

I have been downloading updates of SBBS_DEV.ZIP, and the last one I grabbed was on Jan. 14, 2018. I'll grab the Jan. 15, 2018 version, and see if I have any better luck.

Unless you want to be plagued with messages like this or have to be screwing with you BBS all the time I would wtick with a release version :-)

I like the challenge, but always keep backups of my best working execuatables.

I have moved back to debian and now I'm having JSON issues with syncwx for some reasone (never EVER had that problem before) buth trithfully I just now think I have my JSON server working CORRECTLY so I'll get around to it soon enough :)

If this is syncWXremix, the JSON problems are probably caused by the Weather Underground API spitting out something unexpected. This has been happening to a few people lately. It looks like Ken added in some error handling to deal with this a couple of days ago, so you may want to update.

To the best of my knowledge, syncwx does not use the JSON-DB server; any problems you're having with the two are unrelated.

Well, to be fair, no said said "extract every file from this ZIP and over-write existing files".

And there are some instructions here: http://wiki.synchro.net/install:win#upgrade_existing_316c

That sounds like something trying to do something with a sub-board or message in a sub-board when something else already has it open and locked.

The entire error message would be helpful. Also, errors are logged to separate file (data/error.log) - use the View->Error Log menu option.

Anyway... I can tell from the fragment of the error string that it's this FAQ: http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:misc#time_stamp_error

Yes, in that echo, but not on all echos. I'm thinking about turning it off across the board.

From the error.log file.

That's from json-service.js. Check your ctrl/json-service.ini file, and for any json scripts (e.g. doors) that are specified, double-check that their *.json files aren't corrupted somehow.

If you look at the activity log output (e.d. data/logs/MMDDYY.log) from that date/time, you should be able to easily correlate which script/door is triggering the error to narrow down your search.

Well for some reason, 'unzip' isn't in your search path when the BBS is running. Try shelling to a command prompt with the ;shell sysop command and see if 'unzip' runs without specifying the path to it.

As for the files, yes, I know "DIGDIST.qwk" is the. QWK and REP files are usually ZIP files. My question to you was: Did you check the file to see if it's a valid ZIP file? The 'file' command will tell you what kind of file it is and 'unzip -t' will test it for validity.

I though (blink small light comes on) wait I am writing to Rob on a qwk

So today I logon to the other board and I had set it to zip but must have
