* EleBBS Support List

Ohhhh

1 make sure the directorys are already created. Elebbs will not create them
for you.

Also in your eleconfig. Goto paths. verify that the node path is.
 node*N

for mine it's

"/home/bbs/node*N"

you will need to adjust your for your setup. the *N is the Node dir. And
remember linux is case sensitive. so your directorys MUST be all lowercase
in the example I made.

so my bbs had directories
/home/bbs/node1
/home/bbs/node2
...To
/home/bbs/node256
