--- install:dev [2025/10/23 11:41] – [Run-time files] Try to clarify install SYMLINK=1 versus symlinks build targets (not the same thing) digital man

 === Final Step (Git or non-git) ===
-  - From a command prompt (e.g. in your Synchronet ''exec'' directory), run: ''jsexec update''
+  - From a command prompt (e.g. in your Synchronet ''exec'' directory), run: ''jsexec -U update''((the JSexec ''-U'' option is important when upgrading from Synchronet v3.19 or earlier to v3.20 or later)).
+  - If upgrading from Synchronet v3.19 or earlier, a second run of ''jsexec update'' may be necessary to get all the updated configuration changes since the first run would just upgrade the configuration files and not reload them.
-**NOTE:**\\
-The following //one-time// error message displayed by ''jsexec'' **when upgrading from Synchronet versions prior to v3.20** is expected and should be ignored:
-  !ERROR loading configuration files: 2 (No such file or directory) opening /sbbs/ctrl/msgs.ini
-... because later in the upgrade process, the ''msgs.ini''(and other) missing configuration files will be created (converted from ''*.cnf''):
-  Upgrading Synchronet v3.1x config files to v3.20
-  main.cnf -> main.ini
-  ../node1\node.cnf -> node.ini
-  ../node2\node.cnf -> node.ini
-  ../node3\node.cnf -> node.ini
-  ../node4\node.cnf -> node.ini
-  msgs.cnf -> msgs.ini
 Now you are ready to re-run the BBS and enjoy the "latest and greatest"!
