• Not tossing TICs

    Really weird, and I have no idea why. There's a backlog of about 3 weeks
    worth of files in my echomail directory. The log is showing:

    + Dec 17 09:10:42 Results: Auto-create prefix path does not exist in 0.00s
    ! Dec 17 09:10:42 Status: FATAL

    etc. I haven't changed anything in my mutil file, so I have no clue what's up.

    Mutil file for TIC processing looks like this (comments stripped for this
    post, some stuff not posted for brevity):


    bad_dir=c:\!files\badfile
    unsecure_dir = true
    no_desc=No Description
    uploader=Mystic TIC
    check_crc = true
    check_size = true
    allow_unsecure = true
    allow_replace = true
    auto_create = true

    21:1/100_bad_dir = c:\!files\badfile\
    21:1/100_dir_prefix = c:\!files\fsx_
    21:1/100_allow_replace = true
    21:1/100_acs_list = z3
    21:1/100_acs_ftp = s255
    21:1/100_acs_download = s255
    21:1/100_acs_upload = s255
    21:1/100_acs_comment = s50
    21:1/100_acs_sysop = s255

    So, no idea what's up.

    Yeah, I didn't mean to share that part. That was just me running mutil when
    it was already running automatically. Disregard. =)

    OK the above tells me the main reason is the your auto create prefix path
    does not exist and therefore the rest of the process fails

    21:1/100_bad_dir = c:\!files\badfile\
    21:1/100_dir_prefix = c:\!files\fsx_

    Are you sure you want to have and '!' in your path? I would remove that.

    21:1/100_allow_replace = true
    21:1/100_acs_list = z3
    21:1/100_acs_ftp = s255
    21:1/100_acs_download = s255
    21:1/100_acs_upload = s255
    21:1/100_acs_comment = s50
    21:1/100_acs_sysop = s255

    Consider adding a z ACS string to some of the other lines above :)

    Best, Paul

    That's the weird part. I haven't changed anything at all with regards to any
    of that in probably a year.

    21:1/100_bad_dir = c:\!files\badfile\
    21:1/100_dir_prefix = c:\!files\fsx_

    Same thing. Have had the ! as a prefix on that directory for over 2 years, no issues until the last few weeks.

    21:1/100_allow_replace = true
    21:1/100_acs_list = z3
    21:1/100_acs_ftp = s255
    21:1/100_acs_download = s255

    21:1/100_acs_sysop = s255

    I actually have it set that way to review everything first; I change the
    access levels afterwards if it's not something screwy.

    Still stumped, however.

    In your [FileToss] stanza do you have something like

    dir_prefix = c:\mystic\files\

    As it would seem from the error you're missing a line like that.

    Feel free to filebox or email me your mailin.ini and I can check it for you
    if you want :)
