This file contains some hints and suggestions to help you get NetPager
to run with your MHS installation.
The most common message NetPager returns when trying to set it up to work with
MHS is "Unable to locate valid MHS installation." This can occur under a
number of circumstances.
1. You are not using an MHS version compatible with version 1.15. If this is
your case, please upgrade your MHS and try again.
2. The MV environment variable is not set correctly. See your MHS manual for
details on how to set this.
3. NetPager cannot determine its username. Try setting the "USR" or "USER"
environment variables to the name of the user running NetPager
ex. SET USR=PAGER or SET USER=NETPAGER.
NetPager *requires* an installation of MHS for this support. However, it
can be "tricked" into thinking a valid installation is up and running. To
do this, you must create the following directories:
\MHS
\MHS\MAIL
\MHS\MAIL\SND
\MHS\MAIL\USERS\PAGER\MHS
\MHS\MAIL\PUBLIC
Give the NetPager user full access to \MHS.
A table file must be created in the \MHS\MAIL\PUBLIC directory with information
regarding the MHS system. Unfortunatly, I am unable to provide a means of
doing this at present. Future releases of NetPager will (hopefully) contain
ways around this. However, if you have an MHS installatio or access to one,
you can create this file by temporarily re-configureing that hub and copying
the file.
1. Backup all MHS data (or rename the directory)
2. Re-install MHS from scratch
3. Setup MHS in the directory manager to "look" like the hub NetPager will
use.
4. Copy \MHS\MAIL\PUBLIC\NETDIR.TAB to the \MHS\MAIL\PUBLIC directory
NetPager will use.
5. Reload from backup or reconfigure MHS back to its original format.
*** Please note, the above information should only be considered ideas and
thoughts. It has not been tested but should work given the way NetPager
operates. NetPager will not be able to reply to mail messages since it places
new mail in the /MHS/MAIL/SND directory and most mailers cannot read it from
there.
