Configuring System Paths

This section of the Mystic BBS Configuration System allows the SysOp to configure a number of system paths for the BBS software. These paths are usually set up when the software is installed but can be changed at any stage.

This example is from a Windows based system and displays the standard 'out of the box' pathways that ship with the default installation.

System Path

The system path is the main BBS directory where MYSTIC.EXE and its supporting files are located. In almost all cases, this directory never needs to be changed.

Data File Path

The data path is the directory where Mystic BBS will store all of it's data files. In almost all cases, this directory never needs to be changed.
