NULL mag Issue 09 21 Gopher server
lets see how to install a gopher server into the same machine we host a bbs. in an older issue, we had installed pygopher, but i found that it has some disadvantages, like it doesn't support executing scripts. bucktooth is more advanced and has more features
get the package from here and unzip it in a folder you like:
http://gopher.quux.org:70/Software/Gopher/Downloads/Servers
also install this package:
sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetdmake sure the inetd.conf file has been created or else create it your self like this:
touch /etc/inetd.confin the end, configure the server with this command. you execute it inside the folder you unzipped the archive. follow the instructions and use the default settings. perhaps you want to change the directory on where the gopher site will be stored.
sudo perl configurereboot the system to be sure, that everything will execute just fine. test the server with a program like lynx and see if it connects. make sure you use port 70 or if you changed that, tell lynx what port to use. ex. lynx gopher://andr01d.zapto.org:7070
