UnrealIRCd Forums

Hi wonder if anyone can help me.

my system is centOS
ok i searched this forum for my answer and searched your faq but did not find the fix for this
i have installed Unreal3.2.7 as instructed and everything compailed right ect but when i run test i get these 2 errors

* Loading IRCd configuration ..
[error] unrealircd.conf:534: tld::motd: ircd.motd.fr: No such file or directory
[error] unrealircd.conf:535: tld::rules: ircd.rules.fr: No such file or directory
[error] 2 errors encountered
[error] IRCd configuration failed to pass testing

now i looked in unrealircd.conf to to this section


tld {
mask *@*.fr;
motd "ircd.motd.fr";
rules "ircd.rules.fr";


};
/* note: you can just delete the example block above,
* in which case the defaults motd/rules files (ircd.motd, ircd.rules)
* will be used for everyone.
*/

now if i delete the block like suggest i get more errors and doesnt solve the problem. iv messed ab0out with the code but just cannot seem to make it bypass that.
whats the fix for this? any help id be greatfull

Firstly you've posted on the wrong board, you should have posted in Unreal support.

Secondly delete ALL the code below INCLUDING the last }; Also, you will NOT get errors deleting that block if you delete all of it. If you leave any part of it then you will get errors.

thanks for reply. i got that sorted. the issue im having now is this

when i go to start irc i get this
[Tue Sep 25 15:20:20 2007] - Error binding stream socket to IP 0.0.0.0 port 6667 - irc.foonet.com[]:Address already in use
[Tue Sep 25 15:20:43 2007] - Error binding stream socket to IP 0.0.0.0 port 6667 - irc.foonet.com[]:Address already in use

what have i missed and where? iv searched forum here no answer. btw im newbie at this irc soo i might have missed something stupid.. any help be greatfull

That error means there is already a program on the server listening to that port on one or more of the available IP's on that server.

If you are running UnrealIRCd on a shell you will need to replace *'s in your listen blocks with the IP address you were assigned by your host.

ok heres my listen block

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

listen **.***.***.***:8067;
listen **.***.***.***:6667; removed ip
still getting same error
Now on my server i have my site running on it is that affecting irc do you think?

It could be any program already listening on the port you want to use.

ok i seem to have solved that issue.

now when i try to connect to the irc server i get this error

[17:14] Connecting...
[17:14] Unable to connect : java.lang.NullPointerException
[17:17] Connecting...
[17:17] Unable to connect : java.net.UnknownHostException : irc.domainname.org

[17:17] Unable to connect : java.net.UnknownHostException : irc.domainname.org whats rong with it now?

Those errors are usually caused by saying No or Cancel to the security box when the Java applet was loaded.

hmm nope that doesnt seem to be the issue here i kinda stuck then

does this have unrealircd.conf generator.? where i can enter details via shh? if so what woud be the command to get into it

Moved topic to Unreal 3.2 Support forum

Try connecting to the IP of the server, and not the domain name.

hey thanks for moving post and for replying
everything seems to work fine now.. now i have noticed when i fire up irc and check status i noticed i get the welcome message

[13:40] -irc.domain.org- *** Looking up your hostname...
[13:40] -irc.domain.org- *** Found your hostname (cached)
[13:40] Welcome to the ROXnet IRC Network masterman!1@##-##-##-##.cable.####.###.#######.##.##
[13:40] Your host is irc.domain.org, running version Unreal3.2.7
[13:40] This server was created Tue Sep 25 2007 at 00:48:22 CEST

how can i change this ( Welcome to the ROXnet IRC Network)
iv looked in the files and just cannot find where to change that.. what file is that in? also i wanna make a welcome message in in my chanel. what file would that be where i edit?
also i see in status i get MOTD File is missing now how can i fix that?

To change the Rox part, you need to find the setting set::network-name in your conf, and change it to what you please

To fix the MOTD problem, create a file called ircd.motd in the same directory as Unreal's conf, and put whatever text you want displayed as your MOTD in that file.

ok thanks il fix that.... just one last thing. i dont seem to have permissions to do anything or get into admin channel on my irc i get this when i tried to /rehash
[20:26] Permission Denied- You do not have the correct IRC operator privileges

nickserv Services are currently down. Please try again later.

whats rong with that?

1. You will need to /oper according to an oper block you set up in unrealircd.conf

2. Aliases dont work if you have got set::services-server wrong (it IS case sensitive)
