Hello. Trying to edit or delete a user results in this error:
'Cannot open file d:\sbbs\data\user/user.dat'
I'm guessing that forward slash has something to do with the problem, as the file does exist. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

In the meantime, I gave full permissions to 'Everyone' for all d:\sbbs files/folders and that seemed to fix it! This install was zipped and copied over from an install on another system so I'm not surprised it ended up being a permissions problem. The reason I copied over the install from the other system is that I could not for the life of me figure out how to export/import all of my File Area files and I didn't want to go through the tedium of using the addfiles utility one-by-one to recreate what I had in my old install.
yes... if you're not on a posix style system, then you would
probably have to edit the script to change it.
It's often easier to just normalize on forward slashes in code for that matter if you're working on something that works on Windows and other environments...
