UnrealIRCd Forums

I'm not the regular guy who maintains our server but he's unavailable and I'm flailing around looking for clues.

We're running Unreal 3.2 and have been for quite a while.

We've had hundreds of people able to connect to our server without a problem up until today. Suddenly, everyone is getting connection refused. (or at least everyone I know about.)

The ircd.log file stops hours ago, and yet people are still getting connection refused now. Other services on the linux box are working fine. (a web forum, a wiki, etc)

I restarted the box but unreal still isn't working.

Interesting, in the services/logs folder of unreal, there is some new lines that weren't there earlier:

I've got no idea what could be causing this. As I said, I'm flailing around looking for clues.

Can anyone suggest a direction to look or something to try, to narrow down the problem>?

GDI

/sigh

restarting the server didn't help because the regular guy never set it to auto-start.

Turned out all we had to do was actually START it.

Sorry all.

and yes, I know what happened now because the regular guy finally showed up.
