TIMESYNCH errors...

Post by Stormx »

Older problem, but left in incase it effects the new one:
Few problems folks. This is my first time setting up an IRC server so please do forgive me if I am being very naive!

I'm having a few problems with IRCd and such. It was working fine last night, until it errored and quit. We tried to restart it but it gave us TIMESYNCH errors:

Code: Select all

#
* Loading IRCd configuration ..
#
* Configuration loaded without any problems ..
#
* Loading tunefile..
#
* Dynamic configuration initialized .. booting IRCd.
#

Possible error encountered (IRCd seemily not started)

=====================================================
#
Check above for possible errors, and this output of
#
ircd.log. If you cannot solve the problem, read
#
Unreal.nfo on where to get support

I'm admining the server from SSH at the moment. Rebooting the server didn't help. The server is running CentOS and is also acting as a webserver. I checked the clock settings, it is set perfectly to GMT:

root@serv [~/Unreal3.2]# ntpdate
7 Aug 20:44:28 ntpdate[3448]: no servers can be used, exiting
root@serv [~/Unreal3.2]# date
Mon Aug 7 20:47:52 GMT 2006

Which I verified at timeanddate.com. I don't know what the error means. I know that the server isn't working, however I do know that ircd is actually running. It seems odd.. but meh. Any help much appreciated!
I just solved the above by adding a timesynch block to the config. Now the only problem is that I can't connect to the server at all, and no one else can. netstat looks like this:

Code: Select all

root@serv [~/Unreal3.2]# netstat -plant

have you checked if your ircd is actually running? that is not a fatal error so it seems like your ircd should still run. your netstat shows port 6667 used by a process named ./ircd which is what the unrealircd binary file actually is.
