Problems Running Unrealircd on Windows Server 2008 x86

Post by Evil20071 »

I have tried everything I can think of up to and including running everything in compatibility mode and using just the example.conf file just to see Unreal actually run on my machine, but nothing is working. (Yes, renamed to unrealircd.conf as instructed.) I just downloaded the redistributable from the website and installed it fresh rather than trying to build it from code. When I try to start it from the command line, I get no errors, and it says it's started successfully. However, when I look at Task Manager or under Services, it either isn't running, or it just sticks saying "Starting..." in services.

Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition x86

what do the logs say?

Please note: The ircd will not run by simply using the example.conf (this is intentional). You must read and edit your own unrealircd.conf. Example.conf is just that, an example.

Ok... I have been working on this between my two jobs, and I've made a little progress, but not much... So far I have the following errors on start that i'm working on fixing...

Code: Select all

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] unrealircd.conf:69: oper::modes may not include mode 'o'
[error] unrealircd.conf:82: oper::modes may not include mode 'o'
[error] unrealircd.conf:188: ban::mask specified without a value
[error] unrealircd.conf:187: ban::mask is missing
[warning] unrealircd.conf:207: Duplicate except ban::mask directive
[error] unrealircd.conf:208: Unknown directive 'except ban::reason'
[error] unrealircd.conf:247: set::cloak-keys: we want 3 values, not 0!
[error] unrealircd.conf:248: missing parameter
[error] set::help-channel is missing
[error] 8 errors encountered
[error] IRCd configuration failed to pass testing
I should be able to follow this and the docs to get it working... just a matter of not having to work 40+ hours at one job and right at 30 at another... >.<
