[Windows] UnrealIRCd 6.2.2 - Missing RPC modules (message.dll & security_group.dll) in fresh install

[colt45]

I finally decided to perform a fresh installation of UnrealIRCd 6.2.2 today (I was previously using 6.1.5).

I performed a fresh installation from the official site, which I have done several times in the past. However, this time I am encountering a problem: the IRCd will not load or connect. The logs indicate that two modules are missing.

I attempted to reinstall UnrealIRCd in the hope that it would restore the missing files, but the following modules are still absent:

Code: Select all

[error] conf/modules.default.conf:275: loadmodule rpc/message: failed to load
[error] conf/modules.default.conf:276: loadmodule rpc/security_group: failed to load
[error] IRCd configuration failed to load

Upon checking C:\Program Files\UnrealIRCd 6\modules\rpc, I found only 11 module files, whereas there should be 13 (presumably including message.dll and security_group.dll).

I am wondering if this is a known issue awaiting a patch in the next version, or if I should obtain the files from another source? I am not experienced with compiling software on Windows. I checked the FAQ regarding 'undefined symbols,' which suggests an improper upgrade or compilation, but this was a fresh install using the unrealircd-6.2.2.exe installer.

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks.

I've decided to go with 6.2.3-rc1 and it is working.

I would have preferred the Stable version, but I am sure this Release Candidate (RC) will be sufficient for my needs.

Thanks.

Indeed, the Windows version of UnrealIRCd 6.2.2 fails to boot. That's a bit silly. I have released UnrealIRCd 6.2.3 now. Also fixed an issue with DNS not working (which apparently is a known issue in latest c-ares release).

UnrealIRCd 6.2.3 windows version is now available and seems to work okay.
