Something is deleting that section.  My scripts only ever read from the two
INI files in question and never attempt to modify them.  Maybe there's a new
bug in INI file handling that causes read sections to be excised from files?  I
dunno.

 KK> I posted a few untruncated for easier reading.

Only the untruncated lines are useful.  The ones you shared ending with $ lack
the full error message and line number where the problem occurred.  These are
the same errors I saw before, though, and relate to entries missing from
modopts.ini and services.ini.

Then your Synchronet build or something newer than your web directory backup is
likely where the problem is coming from.

 KK> the FTelnet app and all content under it in my 000-home.xjs is not showing

The script is breaking before it can finish sending that page.  This is because
it can't read some crucial information from modopts.ini and/or services.ini.

Except for those other error messages you posted (something about MSGMAINT and
a QWK import) which are unrelated to the web interface.

Apart from removing some fTelnet helper stuff, I have made very few changes to
that web interface over the past six months or more.  I suspect the problem is
coming from elsewhere.
