UnrealIRCd Forums

Hi all.

I'm trying to install unreal IRCD on my FreeBSD machine (6.0), but: it doesn't want to work.
I've opened the port in my firewall (6667).
The first problem (not even looked to the config file):
pascal# ircd
ERROR: This server will not run as superuser.
pascal# logout
$ cd /usr/local/etc/Unreal
$ ircd
ircd: not found

So, I can't run the server as root, but, when I try to run it from another account (in the group wheel) it says it couldn't find ircd.

I've tried to install UnrealIRCD before, but I had problems with the config file.

Best Regards,
Niek van der Steen

Ps: I've installed it from the ports:
cd /usr/ports/irc/unreal
make install clean

did you do your ./Config, make, and make install?

No, I couldn't (port install)

To be honest, and I think most people will agree with this, you are probably better off compiling Unreal yourself.

It's not hard to do at all.

Was actually the first thing I ever compiled on a *nix OS when I was still learning.
