localhost does not resolve

FireFly · Post by **FireFly** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 11:42 pm

I cant get any service to work because Unreal doesnt resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1.

00:34 -!- Irssi: Looking up localhost
00:34 -!- Irssi: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 6667
00:34 -!- Irssi: Connection to localhost established
00:34 !public.hostname.XXX *** Looking up your hostname...
00:34 !public.hostname.XXX *** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using
          your IP address instead

Or

Code: Select all

debug: Received: :public.hostname.XXX NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...
debug: Received: :public.hostname.XXX NOTICE AUTH :*** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
debug: Received: :public.hostname.XXX 451 CAPAB :You have not registered
unknown message from server (:public.hostname.XXX 451 CAPAB :You have not registered)
debug: Received: ERROR :Link denied (No matching link configuration) [@127.0.0.1.49007]

EDIT: Dont minde de CAPAB error, i was using the wrong version of anope. The unreal compillled version gave same error except for the CAPAB error.

Dns is working fine on the server:
host localhost -> 127.0.0.1
host 127.0.0.1 -> localhost
host public -> public_ip

It works fine with other irc servers, only unreal doesnt resolve localhost.

I checked the faq and buglist, but appart from some basic dns server and resolv.conf stuff I didn't find anything usefull. I posted in support because its not only a services problem, it want to use localhost anyway.

I got the services to run without the localhost hostname resolved. But its still strange that it doesn't resolve localhost.

Did you actually whois yourself after that? I would be surprised if it doesn't say 'localhost' then, since localhost is hardcoded in the ircd which means it will still work even if your DNS server is down!
If it doesn't say localhost there, then you probably want to report it on http://bugs.unrealircd.org.

Also, I don't understand your services-thing, just FYI: you cannot use hostnames in link::hostname unless for outgoing links, this is because no dns lookups are done for incoming servers, see Docs: 4.31 - Link Block, so just use 127.0.0.1.

Unrelated, but I think you have anope/whatever compiled for the wrong ircd ;P .

I was using the wrong anope version in the example (oops), but I had the good version installed in an other dir. Services are working now. (I had to change hostname in link {} to 127.0.0.1 and it worked)

Here is the irssi output:

It works fine except for the strange error message. Everyting is working fine now, but its still a weird error.

Unreal does not support the CAPAB command. If Anope is sending it, it means you compiled Anope wrong. CAPAB is used by other IRCds, so my guess is, as aquanight said, you compiled Anope for the wrong IRCd.

You are totally right! I made the error example with the wrong version of anope, but I was using the right version while testing for real and it gave the same error except of course the CAPAB error. I didn't edit my orginal post because people allready responded to it.

Well then the problem is that you have no link {} for your services server.

Sorry for being rude while also being a bit of a newbee on this forum, but

CANT YOU READ!

I've said services are working fine multiple times in this thread, For instance check the second post.

yes I can read, and I saw:

debug: Received: ERROR :Link denied (No matching link configuration) [@127.0.0.1.49007]

See the "Link denied" ? Perhaps you need to do a better job of explaining your problem.
