Help setting up Anope!

[minuano_mlr]

Have spent the last few hours painfully trying to setup Anope 2.0.12 in UnrealIRCD 6.0.7.
Please help.

Uplink block (services.conf)

Code: Select all

uplink
{
	/*
	 *The IP or hostname of the IRC server you wish to connect Services to.
	 * Usually, you will want to connect Services over 127.0.0.1 (aka localhost).
	 *
	 *NOTE: On some shell providers, this will not be an option.
	 */
	 host = "127.0.0.1"
	
	/*
	 * Enable if Services should connect using IPv6.
	 */
	 ipv6 = no
	
	/*
	 * Enable if Services should connect using SSL.
	 * You must have an SSL module loaded for this to work.
	 *
	 ssl = no
	
	/*
	 * The port to connect to.
	 * The IRCD *MUST be configured to listen on this port, and to accept server connections.
	 *
	 *
	 * Refer to your IRCd documentation for how this is to be done.
	 */
	 port = 6900
	
	/*
	 * The password to send to the IRC server for authentication.
	 * This must match the link block on your IRCd.
	 *
	 * Refer to your IRCd documentation for more information on link blocks. 
	 */
	 password = "*********"
}

Listen block (unrealircd.conf)

Code: Select all

listen {
	ip *;
	port 6900;
	options {  serversonly; }
}

Link block (unrealircd.conf)

Code: Select all

link services.scratchware.xyz {
	incoming {
		mask 127.0.0.1;
	};
	outgoing {
		bind-ip *;
		hostname 127.0.0.1;
		port 6690;
	};
	password "*********";
	verify-certificate "no";
	class servers;
}

Currently not using SSL since they're both in localhost, on an AWS Debian machine.

Use port = 6667 on the anope side, then it will connect to UnrealIRCd on a non-TLS port. TLS is indeed unneeded on localhost.

We also have a tutorial that would have helped you: Linking UnrealIRCd with anope

[DonTCry]

check your link block port
you have 6900 and 6690

[Syzop]

Yeah that is indeed a bit confusing. But it's not that... actually the whole outgoing { } stuff can be removed from the link block, because link::outgoing is never used for services like anope / atheme.

I had not noticed the poster already had a 6900 correctly setup without TLS. Then it should just work, assuming you have rehashed UnrealIRCd of course .

As an IRCOp on the UnrealIRCd-side you should get a better error. We always recommend to be an IRCOp on the other side of the link because it can give better error messages (more detailed).

Oh I completely missed that. Thank you so much to both of you, this is my first time setting up an IRC server for a platform that doesn't inherently use most/all IRC functions At the time I have everything running on Amazon Web Services, I'm not sure exactly how IRCops work or how to see what's going on as one.

Services have connected successfully, problem solved!

[Syzop]

Great, probably too late by now but I recommend checking the IRCOp guide which should get you started as an IRCOp

How do I connect anope to the server?

[Scarlet]

how do i connect the anope to my server?

[CrazyCat]

Don't double post.
Just set correctly the uplink block in anope, and the link block and run the services after having started your ircd.
If you get errors, correct them, the error messages on both sides (unrealircd and services) are often relevant and helpfull

[ThE_DemEntoR]

how do i connect the anope to my server?

Simply:

Code: Select all

link services.scratchware.xyz
{	incoming {		mask *;	};
	outgoing {
                bind-ip 127.0.0.1; 
		hostname 127.0.0.1;
		port 6900;
		options { ssl; };	};
	password "********"; /* SSL fingerprint of other server */
	class servers;
};

Bye...
