People,

Silly question as I am not 100% sure about the file. and I might have something not well/properly configured...

So I am getting:

Fri May 11 2018 06:41 pm bbs.unicyber.co.uk
!JavaScript /home/bbs/sbbs/exec/binkit.js line 164: TypeError: file_getext(file) is undefined

Digital man clearly explained that's down to the file extension (or not extension) being recognised. (if I remember well..)

So running binkit -p:

The content of the file is a netmail I was sending back to the node/Host.

I feel this is something configuration wise, but I am not sure what's that now.

(sorry guys, I am sure this is very simple, but I am not sure now where the problem might be.

Your help is very much appreciated as usual!

!JavaScript /home/bbs/sbbs/exec/binkit.js line 164: TypeError: file_getext(file) is undefined

I haven't used binkit, but are you certain that this is the directory it's looking for files in when this error happens?

Existing files in fido/outbound:

Just wondering if there's also a 'fido/outbound.002' directory or similar, for that particular zone. If so, that would be the relevant place.

My guess, based on the error, is that the directory it's looking at contains a file with no extension, or a subdirectory (for which file_getext would also return 'undefined'). In any event, binkit ought to be made to deal with this scenario gracefully.

I have been BBSing for the past 20+ years and still find things I don't understand and need an explanation at times, so don't feel bad or that your questions are silly. They are not.

I don't see a file in your outbound to be sent. A mail bundle or *.?ut file (a netmail). The .pnt directory is odd, unless you are sending something to a point address. The .bsy files will be maintained by sbbsecho and binkit.

Are you sending from 2:250/1.2 to 2:250/1?

When it all makes sense to me, it's time to move on. :)

Most of the fun for me is figuring how all of this works.

Yes, it does. I have not run Synchronet as a point myself but AFAIK, it should work that way just fine. Over the years I have had several points who seemed happy enough with that.

In your first post I didn't see anything in your outbound to be sent.

Are mail and files flowing as expected?

What you are describing in the subject may be an issue but I have not seen that myself here. My error.log has many lines that say "Timed out recieving packet data!", but that has not been a problem for me since mail and files are flowing as expected.

Digital Man and Deuce have made quite a few changes to BinkIT recently and it may take a bit of time for it to grow into what it is becoming.

Just a thought... what do you have in your ROUTE-TO statement in sbbsecho.ini for the point?

OK, I'm assuming you're running the BBS as a point off of Vince. Although sbbsecho should be smart enough to use the host as a routing address, try adding what I have put below and see what happens.

Can't hurt... :)

OK... it's creating a folder for the point but not sure it's creating a .DUT file. First, open ./echocfg and then go to Vince's entry under 'Linked Nodes'.
Scroll down and where it says Status, put Normal and where it says Direct, say no. I'm not sure if you're running a bash script to process outgoing or the default in ./scfg > Timed Events > FIDOOUT > %@sbbsecho%. If you're using the internal, let's change that to: %@sbbsecho%. > ../sbbs/data/out.txt. If not just add the last part to your bash after the ./sbbsecho part.

Then write a netmail to Vince. The out.txt will give you a little more information on how the netmail is being processed. Look for this line: 'Exporting Outbound NetMail' and then c&p what it says from that line to the end.

14-05-2018 16:25:13 /sbbs/netmail/1.msg Vince Coen (2:250/1) To: Gonzalo Ordas (2:250/1.2) Imported

Is Gonzalo Ordas a user on your BBS? He received netmail at your address.

14-05-2018 16:32:04 Created NetMail (1.msg) from Gonzalo Ordas (2:250/1.2) to Vince_Coen (2:250/1.1), attr: 0181, subject: Testing Netmail! 14-05-2018 16:32:04 Packing NetMail (1.msg) from Gonzalo Ordas (2:250/1.2) to Vince_Coen (2:250/1.1), attr: 0181, subject: Testing Netmail!

It looks like a few minutes later Gonzalo Ordas is writing netmail to Vince_Coen (should the underscore be there?) at 2:250/1.1 (should that be 2:250/1?

I would route all netmail for Z2 (and perhaps all of fidonet) to 2:250/1. To do that add something like this to sbbsecho.ini

node:2:ALL
route = 2:250/1

Mail for nodes not in your sbbsecho.ini will then go to 2:250/1 unless they are crash or direct.

14-05-2018 16:32:04 Adding NetMail (1.msg) to new packet for 2:250/1.1: ../fido/outbound/00fa0001.pnt/00000001.out

That is an outgoing netmail that will go directly to 2:250/1.1 if your mailer can connect there.

Are you trying to send directly to 2:250/1.1?

I have noticed that mail for my points does not get sent by binkit but I haven't studied well enough yet to make a report.

People,

Silly question as I am not 100% sure about the file. and I might have something not well/properly configured...

So I am getting:

Fri May 11 2018 06:41 pm bbs.unicyber.co.uk
!JavaScript /home/bbs/sbbs/exec/binkit.js line 164: TypeError: file_getext(file) is undefined

Get the latest exec/binkit.js (rev 2.3) which includes a fix for this exception. It should print/log a meaningful error indicating the filename that's causing the problem, after you update binkit.js.

It does, I agree, and that's now been fixed. It was just a log message which could be ignored, but shouldn't happen with the latest binkit.js now.

OK... it's creating a folder for the point but not sure it's creating a .DUT file. First, open ./echocfg and then go to Vince's entry under 'Linked Nodes'.
Scroll down and where it says Status, put Normal and where it says Direct, say no. I'm not sure if you're running a bash script to process outgoing or the default in ./scfg > Timed Events > FIDOOUT > %@sbbsecho%. If you're using the internal, let's change that to: %@sbbsecho%. > ../sbbs/data/out.txt. If not just add the last part to your bash after the ./sbbsecho part.

Then write a netmail to Vince. The out.txt will give you a little more information on how the netmail is being processed. Look for this line: 'Exporting Outbound NetMail' and then c&p what it says from that line to the end.

I have setup ias "direct now" and sent a new netmail to Vince so below
the sbbsecho log

If you added the ROUTE statement you should set Status to Normal, NOT direct.

As I previously said, in echocfg, under Linked nodes for Vince, make sure you put Route To set for 2:250/1 and also add an entry of 2:ALL with Route To: 2:250/1

Let's see what that does.

Re-run your test and change the entry in your fidoout removing the -ni and put

../sbbs/data/out.txt

Post the info in out.txt

If you look at the log he sent me, seems as if sbbsecho is creating a netmail from 2:250/1.2 and sending it to Vince Coen (2:250/1.1) where Vince isn't a point. I had advised him to make some changes in his linked node section changing direct to Normal and adding Route to: 2:250/1 along with a new entry of 2:ALL routing to 2:250/1 as well and removing the -ni from his fidoout event.

I'm hoping he's not trying to feed another point off of his /1.1 point.

True, my mistake there...
Also the User Gonzalo Ordas is correct, so we are goodat that point...

I would route all netmail for Z2 (and perhaps all of fidonet) to 2:250/1. To do that add something like this to sbbsecho.ini

node:2:ALL
route = 2:250/1

You are right there... I am also changing that..

Are you trying to send directly to 2:250/1.1?

I believe I am wrong there, I am not sure even the point actually exists!!!

I meant: 2:250/1 instead!! (sorry about that!)

I have noticed that mail for my points does not get sent by binkit but I haven't studied well enough yet to make a report.

Still a discovery process for myself. I just got a point at the moment. I a will eventually got for a Node, but not before learning more in deep some details...

ALl your help is very much appreciated Al.

If you added the ROUTE statement you should set Status to Normal, NOT direct.

YOu are right there, I have corrected that.

Don't need the -ni options

I was following the time event a bit by the book when I did that..

Here is the issue. The above should be: to Vince Coen (2:250/1) and not a point

he same as Al, you are right there, I made a mistake with the point!
Yes, it seems to get through now...

Command Line %!sbbsecho%. -ni < get rid of the
-ni

Will remove that from the time event then in exec/scfg (I followed the base template)


Very much appreciated Bill, all seems to work now...
