================================================== ===
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
================================================== ===
tail: cannot open `/root/Desktop/Unreal3.2/ircd.log' for reading: No such file or directory
root-node:/root/Desktop/Unreal3.2>exit
Also it appears I have no ircd.log in my /root/Desktop/Unreal3.2 and when I created a log file it did nothing !
Which sort of helped, I also just had a brainwave it might be a another irc server still running on that port which I set up ages but gave up and didnt bother it, it may still be running?
Instead of minimising errors its also produced another one
Error binding socket tp IP 100.*.*.*** port 6667 IRC.node.com[]: Address already in use
It may also be of help that its only going to be a internal IRC server on our network asnd it will not be for public use so I may be able to slacken some parts?
Try using an IRC client to connect to port 6667 while you have'nt got Unreal running. If it succesfully connects there is another IRC server running. In which case you will need to track it down and shut it down.
Jobe - if u read back u would see what it has to do
im a *nix noob but i believe thats the soulation to allowing him/her to run the command line as a normal user rather than root.
u`ll need to check all ur running processes to track it and then u`ll be able to kill it using kill command. -
so by typing 'ps' that should list ur running processes.
after that read http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/shell/jobz5.html
about killing processes and jobs
hope this helps
i spend 4 hrs a day gaming and 14hrs on irc, for 5days a week, im not an addict
