Mesh Chat Not Found on server
I did the update to 3.18.9.0, I now get the error
NOT FOUND
The requested URL/meshchat was not found on this server.
I went and downloaded the latest version of Mesh Chat, still get the same error.
I am not a real expert on all this so some specific help sure would be appreciated.

you need to resinstall
you need to resinstall meshchat.  After doing a sysupgrade, you must reinstall all 3rd party packages (ie. meshchat, iperf, vtun, etc).
It is NOT recommended to install MeshChat on a node, rather, it should be installed on a RaspberryPi that is attached to the mesh.

Thanks for the reply.  What I
Thanks for the reply.  What I am working on is a Pi, connected to a nanostation.  So the other packages listed on Trevors bench site?  It gave me the impression if I was updating from the 3.16.1.1, I only needed to load the mesh chat.

Update, went back through the
Update, went back through the process on Trevors Bench site, and got through all of it fine.
I see that the mesh chat is loaded on the Pi in the /user/lib/cgi-bin directory, and I checked the meshchatconfig.pm file, and at the bottom, I have 
our $pi_zone = "MeshChat"
our $local_meshchat_node" = "localnode"
I believe these are correct, the name for the zone in my area that others are using is "MeshChat"
Almost seems in the Setup, Port Forwarding, DHCP Services is where the issue is, but it's what I had there before I did the update to 3.18.9

Need the MeshChat api
You need to install the MeshChat api program on the node that is connected to your rpi.  Shouldn't have to do anything on the rpi as that program should not have been affected.  When upgrading firmware on a node, I usually uninstall MeshChat (or the api), reboot the node, install AREDN sysupgrade, then re-install MeshChat or the associated api program.
