Question about ECHOCFG on Synchronet version 3.17

I've been used to Synchronet using sbbsecho.cfg as the configuration file and using ECHOCFG to configure it. It appears that 3.17 now uses sbbsecho.ini.

When I try to use ECHOCFG to configure Fidonet, it complains that sbbsecho.ini in the \sbbs\ctrl directory isn't there. (BTW, I'm running everything off the E drive, if that makes a difference).

Should the file already be there? Or should I need to create it first? Or didit not create when I did the installation and the upgade to the latest dev builds?

Just wondering what I'm doing wrong or what files I'm missing that I need.

Incleded in the ../sbbs/exec folder there is sbbsecho_upgrade.js. That will convert your existing .cfg file to the newer .ini fild and rename the .cfg file to .old.

at a ../sbbs/exec command prompt, type:

jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js

echocfg 3.17 will now recognize it.

Be well...

Question about ECHOCFG on Synchronet version 3.17

ok

yep (unless you want to run the older version of sbbecho, before the change over)

When I try to use ECHOCFG to configure Fidonet, it complains that sbbsecho.ini in the \sbbs\ctrl directory isn't there. (BTW, I'm running everything off the E drive, if that makes a difference).

nope

Should the file already be there? Or should I need to create it first? Or didit not create when I did the installation and the upgade to the latest dev builds?

a program make them : sbbsecho_upgrade.js

Just wondering what I'm doing wrong or what files I'm missing that I need.

from msdos, in your \sbbs\exec dir. do this :
jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js

just make sure you have sbbsecho_upgrade.js in your \sbbs\exec dir.

Just need to execute sbbsecho_upgrade.js to convert your sbbsecho.cfg to sbbsecho.ini.
