• Mystic A33 Pi based bbs message areas crashing

    From bcw142@21:1/145.3 to All on Thursday, July 06, 2017 10:26:02
    This morning I noticed I got kicked from my main bbs (bcw142.zapto.org)
    when checking messages. I deleted much of the checking at boot and then
    found the same issue when hitting I in Messages, it kicked me or dropped
    me. So I tried making a fixmsgs.ini for mutil. It helped, but hung when
    I enabled PackMessageBases = true.

    ; fixmsgs.ini
    ; ==========================================================================

    [General]

    ; list of functions to perform on startup

    PurgeMessageBases = true
    PackMessageBases = true
    LinkMessages = true

    [PurgeMessageBases]

    [PackMessageBases]

    [LinkMessages]

    ------------------------That's it for the fixmsgs.ini------------------------- Result was:

    It functioned till I did "PackMessageBases = true".

    So went back and did ./mbbsutil -FIXINDEX which appeared to work fine,
    but didn't change a thing. Any ideas on what to try next? Something
    has messed up my Message bases, any ideas on a fix before I go back to
    a backup from a few weeks ago (and rescan to update the messagebases) ?
