Help with motd and rules file

Post by tyler »

I can not find them anywhere on the internet, they didnt come with the package I downloaded. I was reading in the README file and saw that it said that they expected us to be upgrading. Is there a place I can find these two files or if someone could send them to me. If you can do the latter just post here and I will get a hold of you.

YOU are the one who must create the files. The default names are ircd.motd and ircd.rules, but you can change that in the config file. So all you must do is to create the files and edit them using any text editor (Unix/Linux have joe, emacs, vi, pico, mcedit and others; Windows has Notepad, edit etc).
Computers are machines that cause trouble you wouldn't normally have if you wouldn't have a computer.

New question,

Code: Select all

[Fri Mar 03 07:01:41 2006] - Error binding stream socket to IP 213.12.31.126 port 6667 - irc.knights.com[213.12.31.126.6667]:Can't assign requested address
[Fri Mar 03 07:01:41 2006] - Failed to bind to 213.12.31.126:6667
What is that saying? It wont let me connect to the irc server I used 127.0.0.1 and everything.

You have to use the real IP of the server UnrealIRCd is running on - or just use *.
If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying.
