The Major BBS Forums

Good afternoon everyone i am kind of new to MBBS , i have run WWIV and Synchronet and other BBS'S back in the 80's and 90's has been many years i dont play around with BBS's but i have been trying to install and setup MBBS V10 using Windows server 2019 , it installs just fine but whenever i try and run it i get an error - WGSMSX Cannot create "GALDNS.mcv"

i have searched these forums and online and honestly cannot find why this error is happening, any help would be greatly appreciated!


have a great day everyone!

run GALRIDX see if it creates the files. also try running WGSMSX.EXE from within a cmd windows with admin access see if it runs.

"ie: WGSMSX WGSMAJOR"
