Hi all,
random question, is it possible to migrate from windows to linux version and retain the filebase etc? I.e. if I move the file base config / index files and obviously the files themselves. I know I can re request
echomail to a certain point. Or will it be a clean install and a pain in the neck reinstall of the filebase?

I'm in the process of switching from windows to ubuntu myself. The biggest issue is finding all of the directory path references and switching them from windows to linux nomenclature. I've got one I still can't find!
Which path are you still looking for?
It's very early in the connection/login process. I've looked into everything I can think of with no luck. I've taken a couple of days off to "get away" from the problem!
Since it is in the login process, I would look at the prelogin.mnu in the config set up. You might be calling an MPL file with the wrongThanks for the suggestion but I've been all over that area and couldn't find a thing. But since you've brought it up, I'll check again, it won't hurt. My eyes are going cross eyed and it may be time to put it to bed for the day!
directory, OR an MPL in that routine is calling a data file or something with a WIndows Directory instead of Linux.

Just an FYI that I "finally" got moved over to linux. The "error" that was giving me fits was in the "node" configuration. There's a filebox setting that I had set up in the windows version but ultimately
discarded. Only the windows backslash was kept. Apparently, even though
I wasn't using it, the setting was set to the wrong backslash. Just by deleting the wrong one, the correct backslash was automatically
inserted. Once I figured it out, everything started right up.
