so i don't see any probs, my other server is working fine soo..

Is unreal dying or is your client refusing to connect ? . I ask this as it says connection refused . Id check your config file . IF unreal is dying then it should be recorded in the log file . Check for messages in there .

cat your/unreal/path/ircd.log

my ircd.log is empty.
unreal config file:

log "ircd.log" { maxsize 1000000; flags { oper; kline; kills; errors; }; };

add other flags ??


- The servers works all fine but then it justs stops. no error, nothing.

So is the process gone when it stops? ('ps x' on shell)

If so, it either crashed or got killed.

A sign of a crash is if there's a core file ('ls -al *core*'), if there isn't then it might be killed by some automatic program or shell maintainer (I don't know the details of your box, of course)

If it's always gone so soon, then you could issue the following startup command: 'src/ircd -F' (instead of the usual ./unreal start), and keep it running in the console until it dies (you get a better message).
Note though, that in that case it may not die at all (as long as your terminal is connected), if so.. that would suggest an automatic/admin kill.

I beleive the # (at least on /bin/bash) means you're running as root... DON'T RUN AS ROOT.

Make a new user, redownload and recompile (this is to avoid permissions/ownership problems), copy your config(s) and chown (chown user:group filename) them.

You could use screen, make it log to a file and disconnect. then reconnect after it dies and read the screen log
