Services - /cs or /chanserv say: Services are currently down. Please try again later.

aye, that would work, but i don't have a domain, i'm running it off of a DNS

Use irc.services as a link name etc. Or register for a free dns domain; http://www.dyndns.org/, http://www.no-ip.com/.

The services server name shouldn't resolve to anything. So that's not an issue.

aye, that's where i got the DNS from, i have clients connect to mematrix.ath.cx.

The services server name shouldn't resolve to anything. So that's not an issue.

i tried just placing mematrix.ath.cx, but it still gave me the error

You don't put your *SERVER* name in services-server. You put the name of the server that services link in as

(the same as what you put in ulines).

um, i'm not sure i understand, this is what i have for ulines:

Code: Select all

ulines {
	mematrix.ath.cx;
	mematrix.ath.cx;
};

I think you need to do some reading. You seem to have *no* clue what you're doing.

you're right, i basicly have no clue because this is my first time running an IRCd. i got my IRCd running but services aren't working, so i came and asked help; i guess that's too much for you...

ok, so i did go back and re-read the FAQs. it says that there are no services that come with Unreal IRCd, does that mean Chanserv and Nickserv also? if so, then why is it in the .conf file?

Nickserv and Chanserv are provided by services.
And it's in the example conf file because most people use services.

Ok, first, how about you quit with the attitude? I'm not the one who neglected all the documentation on services, nor am I the one who posted this in the incorrect forum (there is a forum specifically for services).

Now, services are a completely separate program. If you want ChanServ, NickServ, etc., then you'll need to install such a program.
