  • Editor setup

    From Phillip Kimble@1:128/2 to All on Sat Apr 13 22:24:00 2024

    New mbsebbs install 1.0.8.6 - how do we setup the editor & what options exist? Installed Joe but it doesnt seem to work. User attempts to enter message & when the bbs executes .../bin/editor script that calls the joe editor, it immeditaely exits returning use rto the bbs.

    What am I missing here?

    Thanks,
    Phil

    Where are your joe binaries installed? The default editor script expects that joe is installed in /usr/bin ... On some distros, the joe package installs to /usr/local/bin instead, causing this issue.

    If you build joe from source code, make sure you set the PREFIX to /usr and not /usr/local ...
