I think this may be the problem, so im going to start over with the upgrade
and try this. Question, after i compile with symlinks, it appears that it's
symlinking the executables but not any of the .js files. Is this right? Did i
miss a step somewhere in the instructions? I would have thought it would have
moved this stuff over?

Also, should it link the executables or create a symlink for the exec folder
over to the exec folder inside of the repo directory? This is where it gets
fuzzy for me because i'm not reading this in the instructions or im not
understanding it properly. I am dense at times, so it's probably me, but im
confused.. should i just move update.js script over by itself then?

For context, here is the header in my current exec/update.js file:

/* $Id: update.js,v 1.10 2020/05/05 01:09:27 rswindell Exp $ */

Here is the one in /sbbs/repo/exec:

/* Synchronet v3.15+ update script (to be executed with jsexec) */

So definitely a newer version there.

Also, the compile did create the symlinks for the update_to_v319 and
update_to_v320 but not one for update.js

Here is the files from my /sbbs/exec folder:

-rw-r--r--  1 sbbs sbbs   5244 Nov 10  2020 update.js
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     62 Oct 23 04:16 upgrade_to_v319 -> /

Here is a sample of the first few fields in the main.ini up to my system
password which i didn't copy here:

What I am going to do is attempt to re-do the update on this new server,
manually copy over the new update.js file over to the /sbbs/exec directory and
then attempt to run that and see what I get. Maybe this will solve all my
issues. Still would like to know if i missed a step or something i didn't read
right. But as always thanks DM for your quick response! You've always been
great for me and I appreciate you!
