btrieve open error 20

I can't start up my board now because it keeps giving me "open error 20" errors on a bunch of different files. I made some changes in General Setup but I don't think I could have done anything to cause this. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Working on a BBS

I found out what the problem was. Some installations of Worldgroup come with a bad pre-installed registration number. That number is 39574913 (which is what I had). The only way to fix this is to: open galgsbl.DLL in a hex editor search for 'reg#' change the registration number to something other th...

Re: Working on a BBS

I can't seem to get it out of DEMO mode. I got the registration key from my board's login screen, and used the registration key with the keygen utility to get my activation code, and I put the activation code into the activation code field in the core security & accounting tree in the "Secu...

Re: Working on a BBS

You got in!? It must not let me connect from the outside if I'm on the local network. I have spent all day researching port forwarding and trying different settings on my router. I was seriously about to start banging my head against the wall. Alright, thanks. Tomorrow I will try editing the main me...

Re: Working on a BBS

Well according to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ port 23 is open on my external IP address. So I don't think TWC is blocking that port. Just out of curiosity, can anyone connect to 74.65.50.20 port 23? * In the Audit Trail of my WG server it shows the following error when I try to con...

My ISP is Time Warner Cable - we have roadrunner turbo.

Re: Working on a BBS

Don't need an answer for #3 anymore. I found the settings to get rid of all the stupid questions, and added one for the user's email address.

I wish I could customize the main menu. There is stuff I would like to remove, and stuff I would like to change.

Re: Working on a BBS

Grrr I still can't get port forwarding to work for it. I have referenced a number of guides but I can't connect to my server using my router's external IP address no matter what I try to do. The server is on a DMZ and I can connect to it using it's local IP but that doesn't help anyone on the outsid...

Working on a BBS

I got Worldgroup installed on a netbook and I can connect to my BBS over my LAN. I have some questions about configuring it that I'm hoping someone here can help me out with: 1. Right now I'm connecting to it via a local IP address on my home network. I don't believe this will work for everyone else...

Re: *Midgar BBS* FRESH realm

The state of the game has nothing to do with the OP's behavior, which is what they are concerned about. It would have been polite to ask the Sysops if he could advertize on their boards before doing so - some of them may have agreed, if they were asked beforehand. They would probably want to get to ...
