I've been trying to work Dantom.Host on my FreeBSD server.
I came up with this:

[Main] [General] [Sites] [Hub]
[All Sites] [Create]
Error: could not locate /home/1330-1340/.

Adding Host Site
Primary Owner: phoenixman
Lock none
Ports (e.g. 6001-6003,6007): 1330-1340
User Id:
Site Home (Default is /home/user.):
[ ]-safe (restrict execution privileges)
[X] install web tools

------------------------------------
As you can see, it stops and responds "could not locate /home/1330-1340/". HOWEVER I have never said that an directory named 1330-1340 must be made.

I'm using DanTom's sourcecode from scratch.

Any help?

In my limited experience, I have never had BYOND Host work properly. There was always some strange error. I was using either RedHat or Debian Linux. It would be nice if someone updated it, or undeleted its help documentation.

Well, mine doesn't seem to work for some reason.

Any ways of fixing this?
Dammit. DanTom, get over here!
Hmm, looks like there's a bug that has gone unnoticed for quite some time. Strange, since Dantom has been using the HostServer for quite some time. I suppose maybe all of the current host sites at Dantom were created before this bug was introduced??

Anyway, try http://www.byond.com/tmp/host.dmb and copy it over your version. If that works, I'll update the official copies.

Seems the documentation on the website got moved to different place. It's back now:

http://www.byond.com/docs/host/readme.html

In response to Mike H
Nope. That didn't work. I copied the host.dmb file and then I ran it as ROOT on the shell, with suid and trusted mode enabled, and all it'd repeat was "Error: could not locate /home/1000-1005/.".

What maybe *can* help is that it does that each time when I fill in the port limitation...when I empty the port limit (when he should naturally be able to use any port), it beeps "Error: could not locate /home//."!

P.S. I forgot to mention! I've received an error when I was running the program!

P.P.S. It'd be nicer if you'd add an way so we could post stuff the same as the DM tags do, except that it doesn't mark any text (so it just gives a white background, handy for quotes 'n stuff).

P.P.P.S. Nevermind 341.871. I know the URL to the latest release.....so I download the latest BETA so buggies are fixed! Or something. Well. Um. I just like having a greater version number than the rest of the BYOND community. :P

Good idea.
However for now I might suggest the <tt></tt> tags. They aren't as good at the DM tags, but they work (they come out like the DM tags used to).

Code colouring is pretty unhelpful when applied to plain text. =)

1. Stay on topic! :(
2. Um...could I get the .DM file if you update anything instead of the .DMB? Cause' I'm changing the original coding to include my tutorial help file..

Sure! http://www.byond.com/tmp/host.zip

I believe I only changed hostconf.dm to add a "site_ports" argument to CreateSite(). The site creation utility was expecting that to be there, but CreateSite() hadn't defined it in the call, so the ports was replacing the next argument, the user name. I figured this should have fixed it, but I haven't had time to really play with it yet.
