A few years ago I built a FreeBSD server that is basically used for ongoing= learning to keep my skills sharp in the tech world. Basically, just a hobb= y project for fun. One if the main purposes of this server is simply to host GNU chess, access= ed remotely through Apache and PHP. I created a primitive HTML interface to= play GNU chess remotely on my phone/laptop that way I dont have to SSH int= o the server to play chess, or keep a version of GNU Chess locally on my de= vices. When I developed this interface, prior to GNU chess version 6.3 being relea= sed, GNU chess did not report errors regarding the gnuchess.ini file. At th= is point I'm unable to configure a workaround that points Apache/PHP to the= gnuchess.ini file. My question is: Where would be a good place to start looking in the GNU Che= ss source code to modify GNU Chess's behavior on startup to not look for th= is file or to fix the location sought by GNU chess upon initialization, as = running gnuchess -u is not practical for my needs? Thank you all so much for the hard work that's been done on this project ov= er the years. It's greatly appreciated! I run the server without a domain name at 69.146.84.24:50200 Kindest Regards! --_000_DS4PR05MB998624A95D8A8FC6DE19B13A7DC8202DS4PR05MB998624_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> </head> <body> <div>Greetings GNU Chess team!</div> <div><br> </div> <div>A few years ago I built a FreeBSD server that is basically used for on= going learning to keep my skills sharp in the tech world.
