Hi everyone need a little advice ive been trying to setup dove-net with the
qwk and qwkpoll cant seem to get it working. I get to the vert sight it
logins in and says it downloading then i get -unable to open data connection.
I must have something wrong so if there is someone out there that uses
qwkpoll and polls dove-net I'd appreciate some help.

Hi Sam,

Here is how I have my Mystic set up to pick up Dove-net:

Active Poll | Yes
Network Name | DoveNet
Member Type | Node
FTP Host | dove.synchro.net
Login | castlero
Password | **********
Use Passive | Yes
Packet ID | vert
Archive Type | ZIP
Use QWKE | No

When I poll for mail, my script just runs the './qwkpoll all' command.

I hope that helps a little bit. :)

Read what Black Panther wrote to you, it's his setup for it. There is another possible issue, it's using ftp and ftp uses high ports at 60000 or something like that to transfer the data so they need to be open.

It's Alpha and just added, it does http text, but I haven't found anything
else to it yet. I haven't tried setting up downloads or ftp through it yet, will this weekend. It has an Icon so likely does pictures of common types,
I'll check that out this weekend as well (weekend is almost here for me).

So what Info are you looking for? The default is /mystic/webroot/www for all webpages and stuff, index.html would be the default page, likely index.htm on Windows (I generally use Linux). It seems to have most basic functioning,
does more then the nweb I've been running. I put up a short test page on my AlphaTest system (Mystic Linux/64), but it's local only at present. Still, I find it handles everything I used nweb for and more.

Connection: close

Is the basic header about it on my system. I can put things up for download, display pictures of all types I've tried and such. I'm using Ubuntu so I had
to first do:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
to disable the default Apache web server, then put up the mystic one (mis). Seems to work fine.

In the past I ran Apache2 as my webserver and had BBBS setup as a virtual
host on port 8080.

Yes, that's how it's setup right now. I did system updates and used
./mystic -cfg
to change the port before I restarted so the page at 80 points to the page at 8080 for the BBS (http://localhost:8080/).

Hello bcw142,

Thanks Black Panther Got it going. So is there any info on website istall
found a message to add http but theres not much other info.

It has an Icon so likely does pictures of common types, I'll check that out this weekend as well (weekend is almost here for me).

As a test I setup the webserver on A39 to provide the non-prealpha Mystic files
for download and it seems to work ok. As I have time I will write a more aesthetically pleasing html page.
