    Hi g00r00

    I just had an issue with the newest pre-alpha version. Everything installed fine, MIS ran with no problems, binkp server has no issues. When I tried connecting via telnet, I was getting 'Access denied' error. I think went to
    the computer that is hosting Mystic, and just tried running ./mystic -ver,
    and received the same 'Access denied' error. Everything else seemed to be
    fine.

    I copied the mystic binary file from 2018/04/11 back into the directory, and
    it seems to be running fine again. It may just be something with the compiler settings...

    Or you know, an access problem on your end :)

    I hope this is all it is...

    When I install the newer pre-alpha versions into a temp directory, I can run ./mystic -ver, and it works with no problems. Once the executable is copied into the /mystic directory, it will only give me 'Access denied'.

    I've checked, and all the files in the /mystic directory are owned by my
    linux user. I made sure the file is set as executable. I've even tried
    running the ./upgrade again, and it states that all the files are up to date.

    This has only been with any of the pre-alphas after the 2018/04/11 version.

    ls -la mystic
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 dan dan 1071552 Apr 14 21:41 mystic

    I know I'm still relatively new to Linux, but what am I missing? I'm running this on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

    Thanks,

    I see this too with the 04/14/18 (I think), I don't know what is happening.

    I can confirm this works from the installed folder but when copied over does not work with access denied. just doing ./mystic -ver does not work.

    I can confirm this the quick fix was to chmod +x mystic.dat for some reason which I never had to do before? But it got my BBS back online without me having to change versions back.

    No prob, making me wonder why that file needs to have those permissions

    g00r00 might be able to give us some insight on that when he stops in again.
    It really doesn't make any sense to me... :)

    I had a chance to take a look into things and you probably have to +X to mystic.dat in the build of the pre-alpha you have. Or you can upgrade to the latest build and not do anything.

    Yes, whenever I get "Permission denied", I look for both correct permissions and whether the binaries or scripts I need are actually executable.

    Hi g00r00,

    Pequito actually figured it out, and it seems to work fine. :)

    Is there a newer pre-alpha already? I've got 04/14 22:10:34 running now.

    Yeah there was the first 4/14 build and then there was an update that fixed the echomail ACS "U" function and then there was another update that removed the +X requirement.

    I didn't really announce those updates.

    The reason for the first one was a quick update to allow Avon to test the U EACS and then I updated again for the +X when I had a second to look at the issue you mentioned.

    In between those releases I did a DDoS of the server in Linux/64 with a 100 node BBS... all 100 nodes active for 100,000 connections no crashes no memory leaks and no ghost nodes...

    At this point I am shooting for a Friday A39 release. Time to get that Pi fired up again! :)
