UnrealIRCd Forums

Well i installed unrealircd and from what i think, have my config file setup correct. I corrected all the errors in the service.log . The process starts but i get connection refused on the listen port , even when tryign localhost. Any1 have ne idea's on waht i did wrong?

Some possibilities:

1. Another process is already running on that port. Check your log files, there'll be an error message somewhere there if this is the case.
2. You're attempting to connect to a "serversonly" port
3. You're a non-SSL client trying to connect to an SSL port

That's all that I can think of at this time (too early in the morning for me to think of much else ).

quicknote:

You're a non-SSL client trying to connect to an SSL port

if this is your problem your connection error will be different "[10053] Software caused connection abort"

the problem is most likely linked to your listen ports. I suggest reading up on those and double checking your configuration file... I've been so kind enough to research the docs for you and the link is posted below.

As I said, it was early in the morning

well i DID read throguh the docs....and I am still unsure of why it's not working. wircd.exe is running , and i can't connect on ne of the ports, and there not being used by any other application. My listen ports are:

listen *:6697
{
options
{
ssl;
clientsonly;
};
};

listen *:8067;
listen *:6667;

I am getting connection refused on them all and I am trying to connect using /server localhost port# .

And Ron2k, you said "Another process is already running on that port. Check your log files, there'll be an error message somewhere there if this is the case." . I don't have any other poreccesses running. But you say check my logs, are there any log files bsides teh service.log(which has 0 errors)?

Acctually, windows has tons of processes running, although they might not be running on those ports. Also, what client are you using?

i meant irc procs on ne of the listen ports . I'm using Unreal3.2-SSL.exe , using mirc from mirc.com to try and connect of course.

I suggest adding a IP with each port and then atempting to connect to the IP or the systems host name. If that doesn't work, I also suggest figuring out wether or not you are running as a services or not, and if you aren't, checking the ircd.log. If you are running a service, you might have errors in your configuration which may not show up in the ircd.log. Which in that case I suggest uninstalling the service and trying to run the wircd.exe file like you have been...
