Generally, the best support for a BBS package is the message bases...
most have a networked support message base, but some only have a
support BBS.  When you have questions with BBS software, it's usually
best to ask via the official support channels.

See [here](https://mysticbbs.com/support.html) for the message groups
where support can be requested.

i saw the http option in server settings, im trying to see if that
would make it accessable with a browser

i would love to make it public via a reverse proxy if possible,
instead of having to give out my IP address

I think it's just a basic http server, in order to be able to access
the BBS itself you still need a telnet client of some sort.

There are atleast two options(that I have gotten to work) for having
telnet embedded on a website. fTelnet being the basic and easiest to
deal with, and WebTelnet [https://github.com/kunle12/WebTelnet](https:

I host both of these on my site/bbs if you want to check them out.

PS: mystic guys videos on YouTube are pretty good for walking you
through getting music set up. They don't cover the newer aspects
though, they are getting old

###

I know this may not be the best place to post this..

I've installed and run mystic up until a recent HD crash.

New problem, with new version 112a48.    On RPi or any Linux distro,
I download the file from the mystic site:

run sudo ./install

I get the initial menu, choose the block,  takes me to a directory
structure when it shows

 /mystic/   and then the rest of the directory tree

F2, and it won't install.  Gives me an error.

if I remove the / from the start of mystic, then it will install it in
whatever directory I am in, but won't load the theme.
