Code: Select all

[Nov 04 18:02:22 2004] FATAL: Can't connect to server: Connection refused

My friend has helped me with it. Im sure ive made a small mistake but I cant find it.

More than likely a linking problem. What messages are you getting from the UnrealIRCd side?

madman · Post by **madman** » Thu Nov 04, 2004 9:01 am

No message from the UnrealIRCD

Sorry, i just noticed there was a services forum. Can a moderator move this?

Also if someone can see if i have made an error??

Thanks,
~madman

Connection refused errors come from trying to connect to an IP on a port that is not being listened to.

Example: trying to connect to irc.dal.net on port 12012 would most likely yeild a connection refused. So check your conf files and make sure Services it trying to connect on a port your IRCd is actually listening to.

This error also occurs when trying to connect to an IRCd that in fact isn't running. You should connect to the IRCd first .. then oper up so you can see any server notices, then try to connect Services.

./services -debug -nofork

If it's still refused refused, rather than link error refused, then post JUST your link block from unreal, your listen blocks, and the RemoteAddress, LocalAddress from services.conf here, and we will see what we can do.

That don't actually mean NickServ isn't there. You could have the wrong services name in your unrealircd.conf file.

try:

Code: Select all

/msg NickServ help

If that fails then Services isn't connected.
If it does work then your aliases are broken and you need to go back over your conf files. Specificlly the network settings section of unrealircd.conf

Also insure you have:

Code: Select all

include "aliases/anope.conf";

in your unrealircd.conf file as well to load the anope aliases.

There is no anope.conf... Have u even looked at the setup?

Sorry i really dont mean to jump in here but can i make a suggestion??

madman.... look for something called "Lakeserv" might be depreciated by most unrealircd users but i recommend it. i had ALOT of problems getting services to connect.... Lakeserv6.0 (after some careful editing) works fine for me!!!:D

Edit: i havent attempted Lakeserv on 3.2.2 yet but if you get a chance before me - let me know your progress!

Since I wrote some of the services aliases that are included with every copy of Unreal3.2x Beta and forward .. I would think I that I have seen, done and modified the setup at least once.

Anope.conf comes with both the *nix and the win32 package. If you do not have anope.conf in the aliases directory you need to re-download another|newer copy.

It doesn't matter what services package you use, you still need to configure unreal to accept it. It takes the same amount of effort to configure LakeServ + Unreal as it does Anope + Unreal.

Also, LakeServ is Windows only. What if this person is using linux? I'm sorry, but I don't find this post at all helping the situation

Carrying on from that, madman, please can you paste your Link Block, Listen block from unrealircd.conf, and RemoteServer and ServerName from services.conf. I would look at your setup, but it's a zip file.

katsklaw · Post by **katsklaw** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 3:19 pm

ok I downloaded your 2 meg zip file, by the way we only needed the conf files and then only in worst case.

Please understand that if we download your files, correct them and send them back or describe every single problem like I'm about to do, you learn nothing because someone other than you fixed the problem. It's best to tell us the error message and we can then GUIDE you to area that is causing the problem, therefore you learn by doing.

First, your anope.conf is in the zip file so you have to have it there. I found it at path: Unreal3.2_madman\aliases\anope.conf (which is right where I said it would be)

Second, in your unrealircd.conf file you need to specify an IP for Services in the services link block.

You also have SSL listen blocks and your version of Unreal is a non-ssl compile. Unreal will still start and run but you can't use SSL and it will complain everytime you (re)start|rehash. If you require SSL then you will have to go back to http://www.unrealircd.com/?page=downloads and download the win32 version with SSL.

Also you have Services connecting on port 6666 which you have no listen block in the unrealircd.conf for. Which I told you was the problem 2 days ago.

I made those 4 changes and I'm currently running Unreal/Anope on my windows box and they are both working as expected.
