Problems reinstalling AmiTCP/IP on 1200 with OS3.5

[dvvrue95]

Hi folks,

I have been using AmiTCP/IP version 3 and Miami on my A1200 for about 12months but due to some unrelated SW problems I needed to reinstall AmiTCP/IP so I used the built in installer for version 3.0b2 and then followed the Web Installation guide to fix the bugs in the installer.

Now when I boot up I rx a system message "AmiTcp/bin/startnet is not executable". Follwed by a normal system bootup.

If I LIST the file startnet there are no "e" or "s" protection bits set, if I set the "s" bit and reboot I then rx a system message "AmiTCP/IP version 3 or later must be started first" and a window asking me to exit AmiTCP:bin/inetd
A normal system bootup then continues OK

Anyone had similar problems or ideas/suggestions appreciated,
Ian

Hi thanks for that feedback, I think that is the workbench method (rather than using CLI) of changing the protection bits on a file, but it did give me a thought ..... perhaps I needed to set BOTH the S and E bits and yes sure enough that appears to work, at least it does now after I removed all the old AmiTCP files and re-installed everything from scratch.

Sure does!
