What is the best way to move a wg 3.x system to a new box without having to set-up everything again and without losing messages in the forums, email, etc?

Thanks!

yeah i would use 3.2 i just tested the IRC stuff on my 3.2 no problemo, 3.3 has ALOT of problems with the web handling stuff. i personally like the 3.3 forums/email GUI stuff thats about it. 3.3 is an unofficial release after gcomm tech's era.
install 3.2 and try it out in the meantime lemme ...

If I use bellsouth, my isp with mail.bellsouth.net, it needs authentication and you have to use xxxxx@bellsouth.net. I subscribed to a service at DNSEXIT.COM that relays mail and accepts on 2525 and 26. Also, they do not require authentication, they will open up to your IP without authentication ...

Mail was sucessfully received and believe it or not sent. The only issue, is it seems to only send mail when the server is re-started. still scratching my head over this one

Which Relay program are you using, when I did a search I found 3 different programs.

...just curious.

RelayTCP ...

someone pointed me to a program called Relay TCP. This program allows you to "relay" one port to another. I have been trying to get this to work with smtp email. I keep getting an error message in the wg log. I am running the service on the same box as wg, and I am able to do a telenet to port 25 ...

copy the excerpt from galexcep.out i could better understand whats happening.

I changed the IRC chat default to another IRC server and each time I go into IRC chat, the system crashes with a wgserver.exe - Access Violation. Attempt to read from: 7788c8d. I tried changing the default IRC server name back and same result. Did anyone get this before?

What would happen (or should happen) if you have a forum echoed to say alt.bbs and someone posts a message to the forum? Shouldn't that message go out via nntp? Also, how would a push be accomplished?

Has anyone had any experience with setting up usenet? There is a free feeder at nntp.aioe.org, and this is what I have listed as the NNTP News Server in WG, However, I get this message in the audit trail:

NNTP CLIENT DISCONNECT -2 502 Permission denied.

I have gone back and forth with aioe.org ...

If adding a new html web page in WG3.2, is there a way to require the user to log-in before the page can be viewed (similar to forums, files, etc)?

It appears that it only works if frames are off. Any ideas?

If you use authorized SMTP, you should use another port.. but I don't think there are any mods to Worldgroup that allows for SMTP w/ Auth.

Port 25 is dead. It's a spam port.

What about using smtp server software on either the same pc or another pc and then using the smarthost name in WG to pass ...

Does anyone have the problem of their ISP blocking port 25 SMTP? If so, how did you get around it to send and receive internet e-mail?

This helped a great deal, I can now receive e-mail on the bbs, but can't send. In the log I am getting the following message when sending:

SMTP SEND FAILED - (Dial) Failed to connect to 205.152.58.33

any ideas?????











Are the setup entries for 3.3 that different than 3.2? I don't have 3.3 ...

Do you have the proper dns IP setup in worldgroup? If not, worldgroup can act strangely sometimes and most likely takes its dns from the router, which can be sometimes a bit slow, and other times, not connect at all.

Now, I'm not sure if you need to do anything with the ident, but a few servers ...

Is anyone running IRC on WG 3.x? When I hit I in the sub menu nothing happens.

i have before, in level4 config be sure to set a server to connect to.
i go right into irc.arczone.org with no problems and also connect to irc.rizon.net

In Telnet mode, the I doesn't do anything. IN C/S mode with ...

Yup. Aware of this one, and need to setup a 2nd development box just to see if I can reproduce it. But I know it happens, as I am getting it on High Society now. Can't afford to QA on that box though.

Sorry. I'll get to it soon. I do have two other slots modules though :-)

good deal i could ...

What are the values that need to go in the e-mail set-up on wg 3.x? Does the program use POP3 or SMTP or both? I have a static ip dsl and don't beleive that I have any ports blocked. Everything I have tried resulted in returned mail being unable to find the domain. I'm not sure of the DNS settings ...

I got it to work on port 8080 with the set-up program

This may sound like a stupid question, but can WG3.x be configured to listen on an http port besides port 80 (which I assume is the default) for web server services?

If not, can WG co-exist on a box that is running iis on port 80, and have the iis listen on port 80 and have a url on the iis home ...
