  • Move Mystic to Linux

    From HSM@21:2/162 to All on Mon Aug 17 18:54:03 2020
    Hi,

    I moved my bbs from Win7 to Ubuntu, a very easy task overall.

    The only problem I have left is that MPL's don't work. I recompiled but no
    go. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    What directory are the compiled MPLs in? I know I had an issue because of switching to Linux and upgrading versions at the same time, so I had some issues because of the scripts being in /mystic/scripts, rather than where it was actually checking, which was /mystic/themes/default/scripts

    And anything in the logs? Or any error message, or other aspects you can mention? Is it just, you hit a command, and nothing happens?

    Hi, all my scripts are in /mystic/themes/default/scripts. There are no errors or logs, just nothing happens. I didn't change anything in the way they are called, do they need a ./ ?

    I don't have experience yet with MPL, but if the files aren't in the path you need to explicitly call them. If you're starting mis from /mystic, that woul
    be ./themes/default/scripts. I prefer calling with a full path so that I'm
    not relying on where mis started from, so I'd use /mystic/themes/default/scripts .

    Probably could be other things; but you'll have to update any paths in .ini/.cfg files from c:\windows to /home/linuxuser/mystic/XXX ....

    say the old path was c:\mystic\themes\default\scripts\script420.mpl

    now it would be (or similar, depending on YOUR path...): /home/USER/mystic/themes/default/scripts/script420.mpl

    different for your system and user account name.

    I had thought that it might be a ./ issue, but when I looked at my own setup for how MRC was called, it has:

    (GX) Execute MPL program mrc_client

    So nothing else is coming to mind for me as a useful additional thing to
    check, beyond what Paulie420 (I think) recommended. I assume your Theme path
    is /mystic/themes, if you're running it there and not
    /home/USER/mystic/themes.

    Winner! That's all it took was calling the mpl with the full path. Thanks everyone who chimed in!
