/operserv modload error - Access Denied

Rmroadee · Post by **Rmroadee** » Wed Sep 22, 2004 7:10 am

When I try to load a pre-complied w32 module I get an access denied. i have given myself op and still get it. I know the mod is in the correct directory. I am running the current w32 build of unrealircd on a win2k3 server using mirc32 as my client..

What is the error message exactly? Simply "Access denied" or something more? If the first, you don't have access to that OperServ command (for example, In Anope, only Services Roots are allowed to use it). Or else the message might be "Couldn't load module.file: Access denied" or something similar (you didn't say what Services you were using, so I'm just guessing), and then I don't know what to do.

Here is the command I am using with the mod_file:

[11:54pm] -> *operserv* modload ircd_gameserv

Here is the response:

[11:54pm] *OperServ* Access denied.

Thank You.

Being an "op" isn't enough to be able to use that command. You are required to be an IRC Operator or above, use an registered (identified) nickname, and be in the ServicesRoot directive of the config file.

HTH.

Also for the record, you really should tell us what services program you are running.

Sounds like Anope, but you are right, it might not be...

You needn't have bothered. I've already answered your question and given you some things to check. If you read what I said before, and followed the instructions, it would have been working by now.

But anyway, I shall go respond over there, if someone else hasn't already said what I have

If you check the log file, it will give you information as to why modules have failed to load.

Paste what you see in the logs above the line status [6], and we'll see what the error is.

Here is what the log stated:

[Sep 24 12:08:31 2004] OperServ: rmroadee: modload ircd_gameserv
[Sep 24 12:08:31 2004] trying to load [ircd_gameserv]
[Sep 24 12:08:31 2004] The specified module could not be found.

Right, Ok.. Some things to check..

1) Does the module ircd_gameserv.dll exist in data/modules ?
2) In data/modules, is there a folder called runtime?
3) If you place a copy of the .dll in data/modules/runtime, does it work?

Have a look at those 3 things, one, if not all of them should make it work.

Any more problems, just let me know.

K, i figured it out. Form some reason it is ignoring the modules data area and loading from the same dir that services is in.
