Hi everyone That's Not My Neighbor
I just upgraded to UnrealIRCd 6.x and now the server won’t start. It shows errors like:

Unknown directive 'log::file'

“Your log block contains no sources/destinations.”

“module xxx. So not found”

I already checked unrealircd.conf and included modules. default.conf, but still no luck.

Has anyone faced this after moving from v5 to v6? Do I need to update the log block syntax or recompile missing modules? Any sample working config for v6 would help a lot.

Thanks in advance!

The file is a destination. Your log block must looks like:

Code: Select all

log {
    source {
        !debug;
        all;
    };
    destination {
        file "ircd.%Y%m.log" { maxsize 100M; };
    };
};

You can read https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Log_block to help you

takeokismet,

Please read notes about upgrading UnrealIRCd 5 to UnrealIRCd 6: https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Upgrading_from_5.x
There are a "Update log blocks" section.
But I recommend you read all topics.
