[Encore] Questions re ports and Encore

[Lennie Irvin]

Paul,

I don't think you may have to do the dance of setting up your moo locally
and then recopying it back to the server.

I opened up my rather dusty copy of High Wired and looked at chapter #5
which has instructions for installing and setting up an enCore MOO (granted
it is pre-v5).  These instructions hold true for installing on a Unix
server, so it may not help you Paul since I think you said that you were
using winmoo.

Anyway, on page 118 there is a section on "Compiling the Server."  It talks
about "configuring" the script which makes a file called config.h.  "The
config.h file holds vital information about the types of networking that the
MOO will be using..." It also mentions "you should edit the options.h file
to open up outbound network connections from the MOO."  This would seem to
include telnet ports, I would think.

In the book it describes accessing this file:

(remember, this is for unix)
cd MOO-1.8.0.p        (changes directory to where the moo server files are
located)
vi options.h               (I'm not sure what the "vi" program is, but it
opens the interface for editing the options.h file)

I'm not sure what the equivalent for winmoo would be or how you might get to
this options.h file.  How's your DOS?

I may be completely off, but it seems like you might be able to find the
place where the default setting is for telnet access on port 7777 and change
it to 3333.

It is at time like these that I wish Jan Rune were still around...

(Lennie glances toward Clemson with a faint hope Cynthia is listening)

I found this line from the "* I am connected to my MOO, what should I do
first? "*
section of the Wizard Basics site (
http://moo.kcc.hawaii.edu/%7Emoo/MOO/files/documentation/wizbasics.html#winMOO<http://moo.kcc.hawaii.edu/%257Emoo/MOO/files/documentation/wizbasics.html#winMOO>
)
" If you decided to use another port than 7777 (defined in your
options.hfile when compiling), it is a good idea to update the changes
here as
well."

So I think I am on track about your solution being able to modify that
options.h file.  Now how to actually modify it is something others may be
able to help you with.

Good luck!

Lennie
