You should also fix the error on line 3, btw

[cucina]

fixst problem on line 3 but the other one not

[Dukat]

Did you as told in the FAQ?

[cucina]

yes my config is standing default so than it should work to

[Dukat]

No, if you messed around with ./Config options or moved the dir or ...

What is the output of "ls -al src/modules/commands.so" ?

[cucina]

this is the output
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2525085 Jan 14 22:36 src/modules/commands.so
( ls -al src/modules/commands.so )

[Dukat]

Look ok... (Well, you shouldn't install/run it as root... )

Anyway - the easiest way is to reinstall, we could discuss ages here to trace it down...
(Please do it not as root this time but as the user you will be running unreal from.)

Remove the complete Unreal-dir
Download the latest version (yes, there's a new one)
Run "./Config" and use the defaults everywhere
make

commands.so is in Unreal/modules.

Write the whole path to the module,

e.g.
loadmodule /usr/local/Unreal/modules/commands.so";

This isn't necessary, there is such a thing as relative paths.

Why exactly did you decide to put in < and >?

Ok...


I had the same problem and I couldnt get it to work, until I wrote the whole path to commands.so.

Make sure that the account which is running the ircd has write access in etc/tmp. In this case the ircd is trying to create a file in the tmp directory but fails.

How about no and instead listen to me? I already told him EXACTLY what the problem is. His config file reads:

loadmodule <src/modules/commands.so>;

it should read:

loadmodule "src/modules/commands.so";

it has NOTHING to do with write permissions.
