Mystic hosts via HTML 1.0 which is the basic original standard. All my bcw142.zapto.org sites are hosted by it. Not sure if BOOTSTRA.386 will
run with it, but I suspect it's more a matter of the browser being used
to view it than the server.
It will work fine with fTelnet, you'll see I use it on the bcw142.zapto.org page to get to Mystic Pi BBS and AlphaTest BBS.
In config under Servers, Configure Servers the standard setup is:
Yes HTTP HTTP 80 Yes Yes
Hit enter on that line and you'll get something like:
Active Yes
ID HTTP
Adapter Type IPV4+IPV6
IPV4 Adapter 0.0.0.0
IPV6 Adapter ::
Port 80
Max Allowed 20
Auto IP Ban 0 in 0 Secs
Country Blocked No
Send Blocked No
Dupe IP Limit 0
SSL Port 0
Root Path /mystic/web
That is my setup at present, so no SSL, no Dupe Limit, No blocking and such.
I use a different path of /mystic/web/www rather than the default as that's
what I really started off with before Mystic did web, I used nweb a small
simple server much like what Mystic does.
Port is the most important to know as it's how it's seen (what address)
http://bcw142.zapto.org:80 is the above web site
http://bcw142.zapto.org:2380 is my AlphaTest page (so Port 2380)

Hmm, my cursor has disappeared! Oh, well ;)

Hallo paulie420,

Wow, thanks for this tip, I've just looked at it and it is *very* nice :) ac>> I'm thinking about redesigning my personal website using this design *g*

I'm a newb and need to learn about... hosting/serving a website first. :P

;-)
Using Synchronet, you'd already have a Webserver at least :)

But, I also love this instead of the regular Bootsrap.

Yep. At the moment, my private website (acn.wtf) uses a hand-crafted
HTML/CSS design, but recently I've looked into Bootstrap (and jQuery) and it's not that bad as I thought :)

Checkout a new ascii art site that ... knocked it out of the park and modified Bootsra.386: asciiarena.se

Wow, nice :)

I know Mystic askes for HTML server info, but don't know if it hosts anything for you. Heck I could spin up Sync just for the HTML bits... :P That prolly wouldn't work as I think. :P

I really want to use it; from my www site, I just want a cool splash page or 3 about my BBS, and other links/things that connect with it... and I want to have an fTelnet window for users to connect to 2o. All simple things... if I could ever get my message areas on there that would be over the top - yes, I know eChicken has that for Sync... :P

Apologies for the garbage reply. Was on my "other" BBS and the editor just flipped out and I hastly tried to abort, ended saving instead :(

Was GOING to say, yeah -- having syncrhonet's web front end handle
web-based echomail browsing is SUPER handy. I run SBBS as my personal
hub, so it makes it easy. Might deep link into this for my main BBS site.

Happy to lend any advice in terms of scaffolding web sites - including
the html/css Bootstrap themes. No way I'm an expert, but been doing
front-end for a long time...

I tend to roll with React-based things these days, which is probably
overkill, but easy to add an Express server for heavy
(server-side, database, etc.) lifting.

Guns to knife fights, I know. Totally impractical. Maybe I'll just stick
to HTML/CSS this time as well :)

Yes, all that is included in webv4 on SBBS...
That has been one of the reasons why I quickly switched to SBBS after
trying Mystic (and the open source part).

I used to eat this killer cheesesteak place in Berkeley, right off the... not the drag, but the big road that you take from the hwy to get to the drag...

I thought it was like some local 'thing'. They carried these stupid Butternut Biscuit cakes that my Dad used to get when I was a kid, so that was like a bonus point... even tho they were just extra little crappers.

Man, I wish I knew the name of that place. :P

Thanks for the link, Sparky - I wasn't aware that Mystic could host my www site. Thats exactly what I want to do; wonder if I could use this BOOTSTRA.386 there - I just want a landing page or two and fTelnet.

Last I checked, it was not near current to the most-recent Windows version,
but it is interesting for those that might want an environment to run older Windows programs but which is still being updated.

If that's ~/mystic/web/www that has *.html files it will work. There should also be a ~/mystic/web/cfg in that case. Some day g00r00 will add stuff so
we can do full i/o instead of just o ;) It's save and secure with just output and no imput, but it's not a full BBS web setup that way. Still it's a good
way to get names and addresses and terminal programs out there to connect with. It lets people download them and get started.

Very good - but it will run an fTelnet instance too...? Sounds perfect for my needs; sure I'd love to be about to host messages there, but don't need so. My BBS is super ANSI heavy; so a place to explain exactly how to make 2o looks right is all I'm going for. And, an fTelnet window for the newest of users... I'm gonna dig around and try to make something.

Thanks for all the posters that posted details.

Web servers in general can be a fun rabbit hole to fall down. One minute you're installing Apache and/or nginx & playing around with basic HTML the next minute you're pulling your hair our trying to figure out SSL/TLS certificates and then suddenly you find yourself spending $20 for a PHP
course on Udemy.

The trick is to get someone to pay for the trip down the rabbit hole. I'm an old-school apache guy, but had the opportunity to learn nginx and certs at work.

Basically the case because he enabled python as well as MPL. Python being more of a web language than MPL it allows for extending the web server it has in python as MIRC did. So in truth the cfg isn't really needed, just the www
and python. I hadn't thought about it before, but MIRC shows a way python can become the input engine for Mystic's web server, bypassing any need for cfg
to enable input or other services.
