Problems with New Install of RMS Gateway using linbpq

 

I recently tried to reinstall an RMS gateway on a raspberry pi using linbpq
The hardware worked fine. I installed the latest version if Raspbin on a new SD card
I followed the same steps i had used before to get libbpq up and running.
I logged in via the web interface on a remote PC and was able to get to CMS ad find I had no messages.
The telnet part worked fine.
The I added the TNC-PI port by copying it from the instructions vi cut and paste so no errors there.
I made the necessary edits to the WL2KREPORT for callsign and grid square.

I the attempted to initiate an RMS Express session. It connects and just sits there,
I disconnected the RMS Express session and went into my easyterm session and connected to the site.

Like this:

*** Connected to station KC5QOC-10 2/9/2021 1:18:22 AM

Upon entering the ? to get a list of commands I see this:

:>?
KC5QOC} RMS CONNECT BYE INFO NODES PORTS ROUTES USERS MHEARD

So I tried the RMS command

:>RMS

*** KC5QOC-3 Connected to CMS
[WL2K-5.0-B2FWIHJM$]
;PQ: 84113130
CMS via KC5QOC >
:>bye
Disconnecting...

Worked as expected.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I am doing wrong?

Here is my bpq32.cfg with the passwords changed:
; Basic RMS configuration
SIMPLE ; This set a whole load of paramters to reasonable defaults
LOCATOR=DM65QD ; Set to your Grid Square to send reports to the BPQ32 Node Map system
NODECALL=KC5QOC

There are a couple of possible problems here. It may just be the way you've pasted your bpq32.cfg into the email, but you show two Telnet ports, and your APPLICATION line has ^M on the end.

This may be a holdover from many prior versions, and I use Windows, but...

I have always had a user named RMS that was marked as a BBS, and whose forwarding script was the single word RMS.

Has always worked, but I'm not sure it is still needed, or was ever needed on linux flavors...

The duplicate telnet port was a result of my clumsy fingers and failing to read what I had said prior to submitting. The ctrl-m is what happens when one takes something created on windoze and copies it to a linux system. Such a pain. But they do not hurt anything - they just look dumb.

The solution to my problem was to get linbpq 6.0.21..1 and remove 6.0.21.21 using the same bpq32.cfg in both instances.

I have a copy of 6.0.21.1 saved away in several places so I don't have this problem again. Revision 6.0.21.1 works just fine.
