Connection refused!

[kaloom]

Greetings,

I have been trying last 2 days to make unreal listen to port 6667 with no luck!

unrealircd.conf

Code: Select all

listen         *:6679
{
	options
	{
	clientsonly;
        	
	};
};

listen         *:7000;
listen *:6667
{ 
        options
        { 
        clientsonly;
           };
 };

i tried connecting to my server with port 6667 but it keeps giving me connection refused! but when i change the port from 6667 to another port i can connect to the new port but when i put back 6667 i get connection refused!


any help please?

you're missing the required semi-colon

Hello,


What is semi-colon mean?


Thanks

Hello.


when i add it and rehash i get :

Code: Select all

 *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:269: No name for section start
-
 *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:274: Ignoring extra close brace
-
- *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:274 Ignoring extra semicolon
-
- *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:270: unknown directive options
-
-- *** Notice -- Configuration loaded without any problems ..
-

but when i remove it everything is fine but still i cant connect using port 6667!

If this is a home server, which looks that way, have your forwarded your ports properly?

Greetings,


This is not a home server, its a Linux dedicated server.

ok I'm sorry, you didn't miss a semi-colon, my bad.

However try using an IP instead of a wild card and see if that fixes it.

(replace 1.2.3.4 with your real IP)

Code: Select all

listen 1.2.3.4:6667

instead of

Code: Select all

listen *:6667

It may seem weird, but sometimes it works. When dealing with the ircd's config file, the less ambiguous the better.

Hello,

Not working,


This problem is getting me crazy, any port other than 6667 is working and i can connect but when i use 6667 in the listen block i cant connect using that port!


Help please.

That sounds a LOT like the host has blocked the use of IRC servers for some reason or another. I would advise you get in touch with the host and ask them for more info.
