Hi Newbie to ircd stuff in general,

Had no problems setting it up on my linux machine although when attempting to start the server i get an error stating that there is a tmp directory missing and to please create one.

After creating the directory called tmp and trying to start the server i get the following error:

" loadmodule /modules/commands.so: failed to load: tmp/884F9A3F.commands.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or Directory

Can anyone help me with this

You need to learn a little something about paths in Linux. / is the root directory. When you begin a path with a / it means start at the root (this would be like using C:\ in Windows). So you're not saying check in the modules directory, you're saying check in the /modules directory. Basically, instead of /home/yourname/Unreal3.2/modules/commands.so you are looking in /modules/commands.so Instead, remove the leading slash and just try:

loadmodule "modules/commands.so";
