  • ecwebv4 upgrade issue

    From Nightfox@1:103/705 to echicken on Mon Nov 11 12:43:35 2019
    Hi echicken,

    Today I decided to upgrade my ecwebv4 and ran the webv4-installer.js script per
    the instructions on the your webv4 wiki on GitHub. Now when I load my BBS's home page, I see this error:

    !ERROR 2 opening D:\BBS\SBBS\webv4\root\undefinedmodal.xjs

    It seems settings.web_components is undefined - which seems odd, because settings.web_components looks like it's being set in lib\init.js.

    One thing I tried is in my webv4\root\index.xjs, replacing settings.web_copmonents with backslash(settings.web_directory + 'components/') which seems to be valid, and then I got a different error. I think my ecwebv4 installation might be messed up somehow.. I'm wondering if it might be good to start from scratch?

    Ah, this reminds me of some annoying problems I had a while ago. I'll try to look into it soon.

    Probably not worth starting from scratch, but if you want to back up and then try it, let me know if it helps. Can you confirm that you have the "components" directory in place already?

    Yes, I have the "components" directory in sbbs\webv4.

    Yes, I have the "components" directory in sbbs\webv4.

    I just ran the webv4-installer.js script again to make sure I had the latest updates, and I'm still getting this error. I'm not sure what might be wrong - Do you have any suggestions?

    I tried removing (renaming) my webv4 directory and ran the webv4-installer.js script again, but I'm still getting this error.

    No, I haven't looked into this yet. I'll see if I can figure it out in the next couple of days.

    I'm not in a hurry. I was just curious. In the meantime, I have a backup of my BBS that I think still has a working version of my ecwebv4 setup.
