Help Installing IRCD

[skafia]

I know I sound like a n00b but I have no freakin idea where to start. I have a dedicated server and I need to install it remotely, I've searched and read the FAQ but I really don't know where to begin.

My remote server has Redhat installed and I can SSH into it. Thanks in advance for anyone who can guide me into the general direction!

[skafia]

Okay, just read a thread that kinda explains how to do it, I just gotta figure out how to remotely compile & run programs...

[skafia]

Okay, I extracted the files to my root directory and I connect via SSH to the server and when I type in "./Config" to configure the server it says Permission Denied.

Better ask your administrator first. Its not unlikely that he doesn't allow the use of executables, resulting in you being unable to start anything.

If it said something like

Code: Select all

-bash: ./Config: Permission denied

Then that means it did not extract correctly. To properly extract it, you must extract the files on the server itself. If you dont, the permissions get changed, and you cant ./Config if it does not have the excecute permission.

Okay, I used the tar command in PUTTY and I am able to configure and compile the server, okay, IRCd seems to run just fine but now I can't figure out how to connect to the server.

Since I haven't setup a new DNS entry yet, I'm trying to connect to my IP and mIRC just says connection timed out.

Check the path to the cloak.so file . very likely a typo hence it cant find the file .

[suffolk]

Still cannot find it, i wonder if its correct version

[skafia]

Man I've tried everything and I still cant get the server to connect!

[w00t]

Any news on whether a firewall is active skafia?

[suffolk]

Well i've gone over it several times it must be staring me in the eyes. I checked it is in correct place src/modules/cloak.so
---------------------
* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] ERROR: No cloaking module loaded. (hint: you probably want to load cloak.so)
-------------------
/* FOR *NIX, uncomment the following 2lines: */

//loadmodule "src/modules/commands.so";
//loadmodule "src/modules/cloak.so";

cloak-keys {
"aoAr1HnR6gl3sJ7hVz4Zb7x4YwpW";
"qF5D3ormaH6mnEvbaH226lfEhjf";
"hfA6HwFh53HedOwQg9Ufs";

};

[skafia]

Alright, woohoo! I got a reply back from the administrators and they said there was an active firewall and port 6667 wasn't open. They opened it and the server works now!

Now, onto another question, I'm trying to add an ops and I have the following:

Code: Select all

oper skafia {
        class clients;
        from {
                userhost "[email protected]";
        };
        password "xxxxxx";
        flags
        {
                netadmin;
                can_zline;
                can_gzline;
                can_gkline;
                global;
        };
};

But when I connect and give myself ops, it won't work

You can't have your nick as part of the host.

Start with a very broad host

Code: Select all

*@*

Then something a little more restrictive

Code: Select all

*@*.snbrca.adelphia.net

Then something a little more restrictive than that

Code: Select all

god@*.snbrca.adelphia.net

Hints:

1. You don't want to use your full IP with your host. Unless you pay extra for a static IP, your IP isn't static.
2. Put a * in front of your ident if you have identd enabled. This will still allow you to oper if an identd request didn't make it through for some reason.

};

Ah . .....

loadmodule "src/modules/commands.so";
loadmodule "src/modules/cloak.so";

try that instead


and I'd change your cloak keys as well as you posted them up
