UnrealIRCd Forums

Had a IRC server 8+ years ago,*TRYING* to start one again, i am a bit rusty and simply cannot figure this out:


* Loading IRCd configuration ..
* Configuration loaded without any problems ..
* Initializing SSL.
* Dynamic configuration initialized .. booting IRCd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The OS enforces a limit on max open files
Hard Limit: 100 MAXCONNECTIONS: 1024
Fix MAXCONNECTIONS

Possible error encountered (IRCd seemingly not started)
=====================================================
Check above for possible errors, and this output of
ircd.log. If you cannot solve the problem, read
Unreal.nfo on where to get support



What am I doing wrong here??

Run the following commands:
make clean
./Config

Then when asked by ./Config for the maximum number of file descriptors, specify 100.
For example:
How many file descriptors (or sockets) can the IRCd use?
[1024] ->100

Then after ./Config has finished run the following command again:
make

And finally try running UnrealIRCd as you did before.

Also next time I would advise you to check the FAQ's before coming here as this exact question has already been answered there:
