UnrealIRCd Forums

How would I know whether to select a hob or a leaf when the question about it comes up?

Thank You so much!

<sigh>

Can we get an RTFM page posted on the net someplace?

Ok, I have another problem now, I finished all the config questions. It told me to type 'make' but when I do it tells me make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. What did I do wrong?

Perhaps, after answering the questions, you ignored the errors that were displayed on your screen, and wanted to go on as nothing serious happened. The lack of makefiles shows the ./Config script failed. See config.log to find out why.

Do I have to edit the unreal ircd config file and set it all up how I want before I answer all the questions, or can I do that after, Because I figured I could install now, and change the Config file later? Also where is the config.log file? I could not find it.

EDIT: Found a problem at the very end. Here it is.
./Config: line 66: ./configure: Permission Denied

The ./configure script is what creates the config.log (in the same directory). Sorry, I didn't know that the ./Config script was unable to run it.

And yes, you can edit the UnrealIRCd configuration file anytime you want. Why do you think, not? It's totally up to you. Certainly, it would be more rational to finish the installation process first.

[Edit: Cleared some things up in my message.]

I know you all like the no message part of that... (wasn't an accident)

I figure the whole rtfm is losing it's power!

What does the below error mean?
./Config: line 66: ./configure: Permission Denied

I presume it means the file permissions on the file ./configure arent set properly, for a quick and dirty fix:
By the way, I wouldnt advise the above since it gives EVERYONE ALL access to that file.

Someone who uses nix a bit more frequently (I use chmod once in a blue moon) might be able to help a bit better

well to currectly answer your question... You don't have permission to that file... how or why is a question we can't answer.... However not having access to it suggests that you did something wrong. And it is advised that you rm -rf the Unreal3.2 folder and download the file again from http://www.unrealircd.com and follow the directions.... Nicely placeed within the file... Running into problems inside installation is due mostly in part of people error... and us here at Unreal Support takes pride in refusing help to those who aren't willing to help themselves. Those who (for some damn reason) attempt in running an Internet Relay Chat Server without knowing the basics of the operating system they want to install on. Basic functions of the operating system is only what is required... Everything is is pretty damn well covered within a number of sourced documenation...

I recall a simpler time when all I knew about unix/linux was how to install unreal. (and only unreal) a time where I thought unreal was the only program unix could run.... (very newbe ish...) but I could still install... zero problems. only new a basic few commands. how to use tar, how to change directories, how to run scripts ./config; ./configure; how to make and make install.... and how to start programs.... fun stuff... can't do that.... DO NOT RUN THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I can do all that, could Apache, or MySql, php, or any other webserver type of a package be conflicting with Unreal ircd? The Config file has been chmodded to 777 before I did everything just in case I had that problem. I will redownload it and redo everything though ok.

jeweles, that was a bit harsh, mostly true, but harsh. Everyone has to learn somehow. My bitch is that people dont try to use commonsense to figure out problems and solve them, I mean, im willing to help someone who will try and help themselves. Someone who will think. But do such people exist?
