To let this work you need to change the default anonymous directory of the
ftp server to /opt/mbse/pub. As root, edit /etc/passwd with the <b>vipw</b>
command. Look for the entry of the ftp user and change his homedirectory to
/opt/mbse/ftp. You may also use the command <b>usermod -d /opt/mbse/ftp ftp</b>
to do the same. For a start the default configuration file for ProFTPD will do
fine. If you want to let users upload into the incoming directory, you need to
change /etc/proftpd.conf file to allow that.

If another DOS/Windows style mailer has access to your MBSE outbound you must

<H1>How to setup an webserver to work with MBSE BBS.</H1>
<P>
<H3>Introduction</H3>
<P>
To let a webserver work with MBSE BBS you must organize a special file
structure.
Note that even if you don't setup a webserver you must still create a
structure like this for the fidonet mailer, if you don't,
<strong>mail and files will get lost!</strong>
This description is written for <A HREF="http://www.apache.org">Apache</A>,
this is installed on most Linux and xxxBSD distributions.
For the directory structure, read the setup for
<A HREF="ftpserver.html">the FTP server</A>.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Important settings in mbsetup.</H3>
<P>
Screen 1.18:
<pre>
1. Base path /opt/mbse/ftp/pub
</pre>
Screen 1.19:
<pre>
1. Docs root /var/www/htdocs
2. Link to ftp files
3. URL name http://www.mbse.ym
</pre>
The base ftp path is the default which mbse bbs installs. The Docs root for the
apache httpd server is different on each distribution, in this example it is set
for <A HREF="http://www.slackware.com">Slackware 8.0</A>. Because the directory
/var/www/htdocs has nothing to do with /opt/mbse/ftp/pub we make an alias link
named <b>files</b>. For the URL name you must fill in the real internet name how
your bbs is reached. If someone types this in, he must get the index.html from
the directory /var/www/htdocs, the docs root. I just assume you have your http
server up and running.
<p>
Now you can run the command <b>mbfile index</b>, this will create a main index
in the directory /opt/mbse/ftp/pub and additional index.html files in all your
download areas.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Change Apache server configuration.</H3>
<P>
As root edit your httpd.conf file, it is possible that you find it in
/etc/apache, but that depends on your distribution. In the section between
&lt;IfModule mod_alias.c&gt; and &lt;/IfModule&gt; insert the following lines:
<pre>
#
# Alias for MBSE BBS download areas.
#
Alias /files/ /opt/mbse/ftp/pub/
&lt;Directory "/opt/mbse/ftp/pub"&gt;
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
&lt;/Directory&gt;
#
# Alias to access the MBSE BBS documenatation
#
Alias /mbseman/ /opt/mbse/html/
&lt;Directory "/opt/mbse/html"&gt;
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
&lt;/Directory&gt;
</pre>
Then restart Apache with the command <b>apachectl restart</b> Now if you access
your webserver with for example http://www.mybbs.com/files/ you must be able to
browse the filelists. If you use http://www.mybbs.com/mbseman/ you must be able
to browse this documentation online.
