ogg, Accession, NuSkooler, thanks guys. I installed with sudo, and then I was locally logged in to Mystic while I was logged into sudo.

The way I got this resolved was by installed mystic in a subfolder from my home folder. g00r00 said to do that in some documentation that I overlooked.

I know it didn't used to be that way - because my old bbs is installed in /var/www. So something is weird about that folder issue to me, but at least the problem is solved.
