Hello alisha!

On 23 Apr 2022, alisha said the following...

You'll have to change the System Path (and check all the other paths, too) in Configuration --> System Paths, just like you say.

You'll also need to check all paths in your startup scripts (e.g. systemd unit files).

If you use the mysticbbs environment variable (in startup scripts, .bash_profile or /etc/profile etc.), you'll have to update that one, too.

The mysticbbs environment variable is used by the MIS daemon to *not* have to specify the Mystic root directory on the command line when starting MIS (e.g. it makes it possible to run '/mysticbbs/mis daemon' from any directory instead of having to issue '/mysticbbs/mis root /mysticbbs daemon' or to have to change to /mysticbbs first and then issue './mis daemon'), and I know mutil nowadays (late A48) uses it to locate mutil.ini as well.

Finally, if you have any paths hardcoded in your events, mutil.ini or other .ini files, don't forget to update those as well.

Hope this helps!

Best regards
Zip
