hi folks,
iam moving my irc server to a new vps. my old irc server uses unrealircd 3.2 and anope 1.8 and i have installed the latest on my new vps unrealirc 4.0 and anope 2.0 , all connect fine and now in the process of trying to convert my older databases. when i connect i get wrong passwords so i probally mismatched the encryption somewhere.
heres my old services.conf
########### DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ############
############ UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ############
IRCDModule "unreal32"
EncModule "enc_none"
and heres my services.conf on the new vps
module
{
name = "db_old"
/*
* This is the encryption type used by the databases. This must be set correctly or
* your passwords will not work. Valid options are: md5, oldmd5, sha1, and plain.
* You must also be sure to load the correct encryption module below in the Encryption
* Modules section so that your passwords work.
*/
hash = "sha1"
}
can anyone tell me what to set this at? as accounts have transferred over but passwords arent working so i take it as an encryption mismatch. thanks a bunch!

Re: converting anope databases
Yeah, their documentation could be better . And would be nice if they were more flexible, so you could upgrade hashes, but that's another thing.
In your old anope you had "enc_none", this means in the new anope you need to choose:
I *think*.

Re: converting anope databases
Ok ill try that, I think I already tried that. but ill do it again. Heres my method, and maybe somewon can tell me if this is correct. theres not much documetation i can find on doing this upgrade, and again, the anope forums are closed to new members (do i have to get invited to these forums or something?)
without either unrealircd or anope running.
I will clear the anope.db file .
reload my older databases to the new data directory where i installed anope
make sure its set on "plain" in services.conf, and make sure module "db_old" is uncommented. (they say this module is supposed to convert the older databases)
I start unrealircd, and then I start anope
confirm both are running.
shut them down again, and comment the "db_old" in services.conf
restart everything. and if everything worked, my nickserv password should work now on the new irc server.
thanks to all that share ideas.

Re: converting anope databases
I think that's the procedure indeed. But I've only upgraded once so far.
Re: converting anope databases
yes indeed! it would be more nice if they've become more flexible because it can result to a more flawless documentation. but who knows, because of what we think, they might have an idea now and be able to listen to our suggestions and give it a try! hopefully!:)Syzop wrote:Yeah, their documentation could be better .
