  • Stupid CVS 101 question

    From Tony Langdon@VERT to All on Sun Dec 22 16:46:00 2019
    Got one of those basic questions I can't seem to find the answer to. I've been following the wiki instructions for setting up HTTPS with Letsencrypt. Only problem is I don't seem to have letsencrypt.js in my exec directory. How do I download that single file from CVS?

    And yes, I am using a recent build of Synchronet, but it was an upgrade, not a fresh installation.

    You won't see letsencrpyt in your exec directory. You should see letsyncrypt.js in your exec directory and letsyncrypt.ini in your ctrl directory. letsencrypt is not included with synchronet.

    I haven't set that up yet, but from what I can tell, there isn't a letsencrypt.js, but there is a letsyncrypt.js. To get it from CVS, you can go to this URL in a web browser:
    http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/letsyncrypt.js?view=log
    Then, on the latest revision (at the top of the list), click the "download" link. Since it's text, it might just display it in your web browser. You should be able to then right-click in your browser window and choose "Save as" or similar. If not, you can highlight everything and copy & paste it to a text file and save it as letsyncrypt.js. Then copy/move that to your sbbs/exec folder.
