cant read unrealircd.conf

[madircgod]

i feel real stupid as i have been using unreal for 4 years or so and upon installing a new computer with newer mandrake linux to install new ircd i have a problem every time i try to ./unreal start i get this error


"[error] Couldn`t open "unrealircd.conf" . permission denied"
"[error] Could not load config file unrealircd.conf"
"[error] IRCd configuration faild to load"

the ircd.log is blank
the compile and every thing else went smooth please help !!


ok now what do i do if i run ./unreal start as root it reads the .conf fine but i dont want to run ircd as root right ?

would the security setting in the ./Config that i set at 600 be my problem ?


::::::::::::::::
i changed my ./config security setting from 600 to 300 and it worked fine but is the 300 to low

Check your accees on file. If you are compile UnrealIRCD as root and now you can start unreal from any user in your system, you mas change owner

change owner on folder Unreal like this ( chown -R owner Unreal ) or start unreal IRCD as root

pstruh22 thank you but it was compiled as a regular user and the permissions were all ok till unreal tried to acces it then it was denied for everyone

Unreal has no such file called "unreal.conf" if you're getting that error it is because you have an include line for this file. My guess is you shouldn't.
