      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 bebe7709       REPLY: 2:301/113 f0d73e28       TZUTC: -0500        AS> Hi g00r00,        AS>         AS> I am trying to install MysticBBS in /mystic as described in        AS> unix.install.txt.              It seems the unix.install.txt is slightly out of date. The installation no       longer allows you to install over an existing directory. I'll updated the       documentation and I will paste the new install section below for you:               INSTALLATION        ============               Type ./install in your terminal window to install Mystic BBS.               If you get an error saying the directory already exists, then you will need        to remove that directory or install somewhere else before running ./install        again.               If you get an error saying it cannot create a directory its usually because        the user you are running install with does not have rights to create a        directory in the place you've tried to install. You can try executing        "sudo ./install" so that the installation will have rights to create a        directory anywhere, but keep in mind you will want to chown the files to        the BBS user and group afterwards:               chown -R user:group /mystic               You can also perform a command line installation by using the auto command        "./install auto /mystic" but keep in mind the same points mentioned above        still apply. The user running install needs to have rights to create the        installation directory, and that directory must not already exist.               NOTE 1: You can type "./install help" to see a list of some additional        installation options from the terminal.               NOTE 2: If you are trying to install Mystic under your user directory, do        not use the "~" shortcut as it will not work. For example in MacOS you        must type in /Users/MyUserName instead of ~/ for the installation paths.              ...
