How do you try to connect ? with ip or dns name ?
Can you ping it, and if yes can you telnet to its listening port ?

And can you show us your unrealircd.conf (think to hide the passwords)

Hey CrazyCat

First thanks for help.

When try: sudo - root it ask for a password, and i give the password but get the error: babbel is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

I try connecting to kiwiirc with: https://chat.babbelpret.nl but no page loading.
I try to open my znc: http://206.41.117.133:44544/ not loading
i can not running to irc
chat.babbelpret.nl

dont understand
when try: cd ~/unrealircd and: ./unrealircd restart it say: [info] UnrealIRCd started.
When try: cd ~/services and typ: bin/anoperc restart it say: Successfully connected to uplink #1 127.0.0.1:7000
Successfully linked, launching into background...

looks me ok.
But kiwiiirc is not active, mirc wll not connected and i can come into my root..... whats wrong?

Ok, so quick tests:

Code: Select all

telnet chat.babbelpret.nl 6667
Trying 206.41.117.132...
Connected to chat.babbelpret.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.
:chat.babbelpret.nl NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname...
:chat.babbelpret.nl NOTICE * :*** Checking ident...
:chat.babbelpret.nl NOTICE * :*** Found your hostname (cached)
....
telnet chat.babbelpret.nl 6697
Trying 206.41.117.132...
Connected to chat.babbelpret.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.
Your server is on and listening on ports 6667 and 6697, good result.

If you have a trouble with your kiwiirc, it's probably a misconfiguration of the frontend (apache, ngninx, caddy, ...). This is not an unrealircd related trouble.
And your znc is accessible by the web ? Or is it its admin' interface ? BTW, here again it'snot an unrealircd trouble.

Ask help on the IRC channel of kiwiirc, but before check that your kiwiirc is ok and matches the unrealircd configuration.

And I successfully joined your irc server:

This is not an unrealircd trouble.
Ask help on kiwiirc channel on libera (irc://irc.libera.chat/kiwiirc)

Yes done with it, but problem was the "nginx" must be statrting.

A verry simple command, every time restart the server that need restarted it too or can be automatic with: systemctl enable nginx

Sow looks now everything works fine, tommorow check again :)
Thanks for all Crazy Cat
