Error: Unable to Assign Address

Post by Angelus »

[Fri Aug 12 17:38:35 2005] - Error binding stream socket to IP XX.XX.XX.XXX port 6667 - server.domain.org[]:Cannot assign requested address

XX.XX.XX.XXX shows the IP, masked for security reasons
server.domain.org shows the server host, masked again for security reasons!

That's the first of my two errors, the second doesn't seem to affect the IRCD though it could be causing the problem

/usr/bin/install -m 0700 -d /etc/Unreal3.2
/usr/bin/install -m 0700 src/ircd /etc/Unreal3.2/src/ircd
/usr/bin/install: `src/ircd' and `/etc/Unreal3.2/src/ircd' are the same file
make: *** [install] Error 1
is the second error, i'd appreciate any help you guys can give haven't hit this problem before ^-^ the server in question is running UBUNTU and has ircd-hybrid (shudder) running on it, i get the errors when booting unreal ircd and still get them with hybrid terminated!

This means Unreal could not listen on 6667. This can be either because the port is already in use, or you don't have access to that port. Check to make sure nothing is listening on that port already, and check to be sure the IP is correct.

This error occours when you use the default install to path in ./Config. You don't need to run make install unless you have changed that path.

the IRCD has been installed as root on the server, so there's no access limit, and the port is open as far as I can verify with ping etc. I've even tried changing the port to 5553 but the error still says 6667

I got it, the IRCD needed to be set as connecting on 192.168.0.100 and let the router handle port forwarding ^-^ thanks for the help guys ^-^
