I had the same problem. For me, it was a permissions issue (the xtrn/lord directory was not writable by the user that sbbs ran as).

Sounds like you're on the right track.

xtrn/lord directory was not writable by the user that sbbs ran as).

Okay may I ask how you fixed that, I use win 10 64 bit. I did go to the directory
propertie/security and gave it full control but maybe that not what you are talking
about.

also how do I dowmload lordtxt.lrd from web site /sbbs/xrtn/lord
I saved it with notepad++ and when I run jsexec process it and locks up probable same place were I go via telnet, so I must not be doing that right

Sounds like you're on the right track.

Okay, that's good to hear.

With 'chmod', the problem was only occurring on my Linux server (cvs.synchro.net).

Maybe not.

I'm not sure what you're referring to there.

Sounds like you're on the right track.

Okay, that's good to hear.

Do you have any .tmp or .tmp.lock files in your xtrn/lord directory? If so, try deleting them. The lockup I saw was in fmutex() in lord.js trying to create/touch the a mail*.tmp.lock file.

HI Digital

Okay may I ask how you fixed that, I use win 10 64 bit.

Okay that's cool, thought it might be Lunux

propertie/security and gave it full control but maybe that not what you are talking
about.

Maybe not.

I think this one has same thing to do with /security/sharing maybe not what I am looking
for

also how do I dowmload lordtxt.lrd from web site /sbbs/xrtn/lord
I saved it with notepad++ and when I run jsexec process it and locks up probable same place were I go via telnet, so I must not be doing that right

probable same place were I go via telnet, so I must not be doing that right

`

I'm not sure what you're referring to there.

okay, well if I put lordtxt.lrd and run jsexec when finish it proccesing it lock the dos command
normaly it just finish proccessing and go back to the dos prompt , if I go in local via bbs, it locks
about the same place welcome screen so maybe I have not saved the lordtxt the right way

Do you have any .tmp or .tmp.lock files in your xtrn/lord directory? If so, try deleting them. The lockup I saw was in fmutex() in lord.js
trying to create/touch the a mail*.tmp.lock file.

none of these files, but I have install twice first time yes did get those files I deleted them
still the same second time none of those files but still`same

the trouble is I read the sysop doc can follow it but it just I don't really know what files are
meant to be in lord dir to run lord.js there a lot of files in web site /sbbs/xrtn/lord Am I a meant
to put all those files in the lord dir excluding the one that have deleted in the discription

Thank you

Sounds like you did a copy/paste from cvs to your local computer. If anything was missed you're going to have a problem. I would start from scratch in xtrn/lord and cvs update. If I'm mistaken, then I'm not sure why you were in notpad++ for that file?

Okay thank you, I will start again from scratch in xtrn/lord and cvs update, as for notpad++ yes I probably not doing that right, just don't now how
to get it from web site sbbs/xtrn/lord to my local drive, on site there is
2 option view and download it I can click on download and I can go into that option but don't know were the option or how to downloaded it hence the
otpad++
so you right I shouldn't be useing that my question is how do I, or do the cvs update bit. I am on wondows 10 64 bit.

http://wiki.synchro.net/dev:cvs?s[]=cvs

Okay, I will look into this. Thank you

You click the "Download GNU tarball" link at http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xtrn/lord/

This will download the file sbbs-lord.tar.gz into your browser's "Downloads" folder. You open the file with an archive manager (e.g. WinZip, WinRar, 7Zip) and extract the contents into your xtrn/lord directory.

Alternatively, you could use command-line tools (e.g. gunzip, tar) to extract the files from the tarball, but that takes some practice.

The IGM stuff: from the /sbbs/xtrn/lord directory (or where ever you sbbs root directrory is ie: c:\sbbs\xtrn\lord) type /sbbs/exec/jsexec lord.js +IGM barak/barak.js ... this will install the barak.js IGM into the 3rdparty.lrd file ... also /sbbs/exec/jsexec lord.js +IGM grabbag/grabbag.js will install The Grag Bag IGM ... alternately you could edit 3rdparty.lrd and manually add the IGM's you'd like to include (try out The Grab Bag, it isn't 100% completed but is a quick add on)

For the 'interbbs' stuffies, edit the lord.ini file and uncomment the: ;GamePrefix=

Try removing or renaming your mods/logon.js and see if things work normally again. If yes, the compare your modified logon.js with the stock exec/logon.js and merge in any relevant changes. Or just copy exec/logon.js to mods/logon.js and reapply your modification(s).
