Need Help Starting Unreal 3.2.10.4

Post by red33 »

I accidentally deleted my unreal 3.2.10.4 folder :/ thought it was a tar.gz file that i didnt need anyways, got everything configured and i get e[Sun Feb 22 12:12:30 2015] - Error binding stream socket to IP 69.162.163.21 port 6667 - edgeradio.net[]:Address already in use. i've tried several ports and it will just sit there and not start. also on my server i see like every few minutes [12:13pm] -69.162.163.21- *** Notice -- Unable to write tunefile.. No such file or directory and [11:03am] -69.162.163.21- *** Notice -- WARNING: Unable to write to 'ircd.log': No such file or directory. This warning will not re-appear for at least 5 minutes. now it was doing that before i loaded unreal again. please help. i tried to ask my shell provider for help and he called me stupid. and that i needed help. so i've read and read and can't come up with anything. i've tried the touch ircd.tune but nothing.

Looks like Unreal is already running. Just because you delete the run directory, that doesn't automatically stop the running process.

Simply stop the already running ircd, then start from the newly installed directory that you compiled to replace the directory you deleted. you cannot restart or rehash. you must do a full stop on the ircd. You will likely have to use 'kill' on the pid.

On a personal note, if my host called me stupid .. I'd choose a different host. I don't pay money to people that insult me.

puresounds@c3p0:/home/puresounds/Unreal3.2.10.4> ./unreal stop
Stopping UnrealIRCd
kill: 6853: No such process
puresounds@c3p0:/home/puresounds/Unreal3.2.10.4>
what's kill:6853:No such process? i don't know what that means. in the ircd.pid is 6853.

This is outside the scope of these forums. It is assumed that you know how to work your Operating System (this is exactly why there is a quiz to enter the IRC support channel). You should at least learn the basics, like killing processes. While you are attempting to kill unreal that has a stale pid, it's the same process for all applications, thus a topic for the system, not unreal specifically.

You should man ps and man kill on your shell or google "how to kill a background process on linux" (without the quotes).

Please don't think I'm being mean by making you figure it out. I'm not being mean, I'm forcing you to learn what you should already know as a server/network admin before attempting to run an ircd or any other process in an administrative role.
