I tried to use the web browser using 127.0.0.1:8080 and I get an error says :

Access Error: 404 -- Not Found

Cannot locate document: /

?

I am not sure why that’s not working.

What type of HF port are you using? Not all support beaconing.

I have both my BTINTERVAL and IDINTERVAL set to 0 in the config

Thank you, John. That's it.

Re: linbpq terminal window scrolling

It used to be a problem with some browsers, but I thought I'd fixed it - it seems ok with the ones I use here. Which browser are you using?

The Terminal in the Web interface isn't really intended for regular use, just occasional troubleshooting. There are much better terminal programs, eg QtTermTCP.

Every time I enter something in the command line at the bottom of the terminal or the terminal receives some data the window returns to the top with multiple lines of Scroll To The End.

This continues throughout the use of the terminal.? I have to continually scroll down to read the new data.

It appears I have linbpq running on the Pi.? Several other area hams have connected to my BBS.? Even though I still don't understand much of this this is progress.

Could you send me the BBS log showing the failed connect attempt?

Also it might be worth trying the latest Beta version of BPQMail.exe.

The 15th Feb beta version is the latest. The version in the Downloads directory is a rebuild of the latest release 6.0.21.1 that I had accidentally deleted. But I built it from the published source that dynamically loads libconfig. I've rebuilt linked statically and re-uploaded.

That is a bit weird. Assuming you want to use the USB serial port it should be COMPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0, but if it says it is trying to open ttyAMA0 then maybe you are looking at the wrong bpq32.cfg.

Try this? COMPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0
