Unable to start, No errors!

Hi there,

I just compiled Unreal 3.2.2b on my OSX machine, I spent about 30 minutes creating a config from scratch (I didn't use the template) by reading the docs and after fixed all the errors, it still won't start.

Code: Select all

$ ./unreal start
Starting UnrealIRCd
 _   _                      _ ___________  _____     _

| | | | '_ \| '__/ _ \/ _` | | | | |    / | |    / _` |

 \___/|_| |_|_|  \___|\__,_|_|\___/\_| \_| \____/\__,_|
                           v3.2.2b
                     using TRE 0.7.0

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
* Configuration loaded without any problems ..
* Loading tunefile..
* Dynamic configuration initialized .. booting IRCd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible error encountered (IRCd seemily not started)

As you can see, this is absolutely no help. There is nothing in ircd.log and I really don't know what else to do.

FYI, I compiled using different paths to the defaults in the ./Config, and I used make install, then I moved the "src" folder from the source folder and placed it into the folder I installed to.

Any help would be great! I can't find any errors anywhere, sorry :/

Make sure you have a log block in the conf with the "errors" flag, without this, you wont get any errors. The reason it only says what it does, is because the script that starts the IRCd looks for the .pid file. If it cannot find the .pid file, it knows Unreal didnt start.


"make install" would have copied all the necessary files to the install dir.

See "server.log" for any error.
