Having difficulties getting DOS doors to work.

OS is Ubuntu and DOSEMU works on its own.

configuration is:

sbbs.ini unix section
ExternalTermANSI=ansi-bbs
ExternalTermDumb=dumb

DOSemuPath=/usr/bin/dosemu.bin (this path works)

emusetup.bat
set PATH=%path%;E:\dosutils
fossil.com
share.exe

SCFG config:
Name: Barren Realms Elite
Internal Code: BRE
Start-up Directory: ../xtrn/bre
Command Line: bre.exe (or bre.bat tried both)
Multiple Concurrent Connections: Yes
BBS Drop File Type: DOORFILE.SR
Place Drop File In: Start-Up Directory

DOORFILE.SR is put in /sbbs/xtrn/bre
dos_emu.log:
ends with

ERROR: Unknown terminal: ansi-bbs
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.leavedos(sl-exit_error 55) called - shutting down


Is this talking about TERMCAP in linux or dosemu?

You need to download the terminfo file and compile it.

http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix?s[]=terminfo#installing_the_terminfo_file

basically

wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/terminfo
tic terminfo

(tic in this case is the terminfo compiler).

That will fix your issue.

Did that.
/home/sysop/.terminfo/a/ansi-bbs
sysop is the account SBBS runs under

Do I need to copy it to /usr/share/terminfo/a or /etc/terminfo?

I forgot to remind you to run tic as root. It should put the terminfo file
in the correct location

$ locate ansi-bbs
/etc/terminfo/a/ansi-bbs

No worries. I'll check the wiki in the morning and update it to use root or sudo to accomplish the task.
