I got a few problems with my ircd

[quickd3ad]

i got it running and everything and i can connect to it, only when i typ in /server localhost or /server <my ip> when i do like for example irc.d3adly-zone.com it doesn´t work. is this because i need the domain name?? and if so where can i register one?

second problem is with my services. i tried all the services that this forum gave a link to like anope magick and a few others but none of them would work for some reason. is this also cause of that or not?

what you guys should know. i opened the Example.conf and modified it to my wishes and saved it then as the unrealircd.conf file in the root of my unrealircd folder.

plz help me out
Greetings

Okay, /server localhost only works if the server is running on the same machine. You don't need a DNS or anything with that. 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1' always belong to your machine as a private address. If you are sure the server is running on the same machine, make sure you also haven't put any ban user or ban ip blocks that match 127.0.0.1 or localhost. If you have ban ip against the loopback, this could also explain why services aren't connecting.

Also make sure the services are the right platform, though this should be obvious. Many service packages, like Anope, are built on UNIX-derivitive systems. If you use Windoze, you would need something like Cygwin to compile and run the services. If you are using *nix, make sure you aren't trying to use a Windows binary, like one compiled for Cygwin.

IF you can connect to your server from another machine, try doing /stats k to see what bans are loaded by the config.

It's not an Unreal problem, it's a DNS problem:

[18:11] Looking up irc.d3adly-zone.com...
[18:11] Unable to resolve irc.d3adly-zone.com

Crap, I hate it when I mis-read the question. *ARGH*

/me slaps aquanight around a bit with a large two-by-four.

Try changing set::dns (or whatever it is) - or just use IP's to connect (although that's a workaround, not a fix).

ping d3adly-zone.com
PING d3adly-zone.com (69.93.73.34): 56 data bytes
ping irc.d3adly-zone.com
ping: cannot resolve irc.d3adly-zone.com: Unknown host

you should create a record for irc

[quickd3ad]

thnx for all of your replies but actually it didn't still helped me out. the ping on D3adly-Zone.com works cause that's my website, now the question is Do i need to register a domain for IRC as well?

[AngryWolf]

To Ron2k: Sorry, but I don't have a clue how set::dns belongs to the irc.d3adly-zone.com DNS problem.

To quickd3ad: As you heard jewles, the d3adly-zone.com domain name has already been registered, it isn't necessary to register another domain name. You only have to set up a record for irc (irc.d3adly-zone.com) in your primary and secondary name servers.

[quickd3ad]

so basicly i have to talk to my host / go to my cpanel and set it up right?

[AngryWolf]

Yes, you are right.

[quickd3ad]

ok cool now got my domain working

it is d3adly-zone.onlinepeople.net for now untill i contact my host now how do i get my services to work cause they are not working at all

[quickd3ad]

ok i'm now running the server with my domain working but still the services doesn't work

this is what i see on connecting




it keeps on trying to connect


and what does this mean and where can i find ircd.conf




this is how my settings are




and this is my link code in unrealircd.conf

Code: Select all

link            services.d3adly-zone.onlinepeople.net
	{
		username	*;
		hostname <my ip>;
		bind-ip *;
		port 6668;
		hub *;
		password-connect "services";
		password-receive "services";
		class servers;
	options {
		autoconnect;
		};
	};
