Can't start Unreal - no erro messages!

[maxita]

Hello, i have compiled version 3.2.8.1 without any problems in the hub and another leaf.

Now im try to start unreal in another of my leaf and when i put config file and start the unreal i get this:

user8@server:~/Unreal$ ./unreal start
Starting UnrealIRCd
./unreal: line 10: /home/user8/Unreal: is a directory
Possible error encountered (IRCd seemingly not started)
=====================================================
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 `/home/user8/Unreal/ircd.log' for reading: No such file or directory

Unreal directory is the installation directory and is all ok, i have try to setup permisison to 777, seem like there is some error but ircd.log can't be created...

thsi is the log blok of unrealircd.conf:

Code: Select all

log "ircd.log" {
	/* Delete the log file and start a new one when it reaches 2MB, leave this out to always use the 
	   same log */
	maxsize 2097152;
	flags {
		oper;
		kline;
		connects;
		server-connects;
		kills;
		errors;
		sadmin-commands;
		chg-commands;
		oper-override;
		spamfilter;
	};
};

Thanks for your help!

You probably didn't answer the 3rd question of ./Config correctly:
'What is the path to the ircd binary including the name of the binary?'
Note that it has to point to the full path of the binary, not to a directory.
In your case, you probably want to set it to '/home/user8/Unreal/ircd' and not '/home/user8/Unreal' (all without quotes, of course).

Just re-run './Config' and answer it right, and then do 'make clean' and 'make' (and 'make install') [and yeah you can do that all in one line ]

I think the easiest thing to do here is create the log file yourself.

"tail: cannot open `/home/user8/Unreal/ircd.log' for reading: No such file or directory"

This is how I resolved it.

No. That was not the problem.

Oh I had the same exact error message and thought that may be it. I had to create ircd.motd as well.

Oh sorry maybe there are two different error messages here. I didn't get the first one just the one pertaining to not reading the log file.
