Install it as the user you want to run it with, under /home/<user>/mystic. Probably the easiest way to keep permissions in check.

This sounds a lot like what I said above. Looks like you're getting the hang of it. ;)

Your BBS was installed in /var/www? That's odd. You probably don't want your BBS installed where your web server resides. Some people create a user named "bbs" or "mystic", then install it to /home/bbs or /home/mystic. But if you don't want to have to switch users all the time to keep permissions correct, using your normal user is fine, too. I have mine installed as /home/<user>/mystic and all is good.

Regards,
Nick
