ircadmin@dhcppc2:~/bin>
Open up an IRC client and try to connect to the servers IP address (like 192.168.1.102).
You will get something like this if it's working:
* Connecting to 192.168.1.102 (6667)
-irc.zcworld-evil.mine.nu- *** Looking up your hostname...
-irc.zcworld-evil.mine.nu- *** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
«(~ Welcome to the zcworld IRC Network [email protected] ~)»
«(~ Your host is irc.zcworld-evil.mine.nu, running version Unreal3.2.6 ~)»
«(~ server was Created This server was created Sat Jan 20 2007 at 23:12:19 CST
«(~ Info ~)
Local host: server (192.168.1.101)
«(~ Current Server User Statistics for zcworld ~)»
«(~ There are 1 users and 0 invisible on 1 servers ~)»
«(~ Local Users Current Local Users: 1 Max: 1 ~)»
«(~ Global Users Current Global Users: 1 Max: 1 ~)»
MOTD File is missing
Once it's working type in
su -
Password:
cd /home/zcworld/src/
find . |grep -i cron
The output will look like this:
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/ircdchk.in
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/CVS
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/CVS/Tag
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/CVS/Entries
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/CVS/Repository
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/CVS/Root
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/ircdchk
./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/ircd.cron
Find the ircdchk file, then type:
cp ./Unreal3.2/ircdcron/ircdchk ~ircadmin/bin/
cd ~ircadmin/bin
chown ircadmin:ircadmin ircdchk
cd ~ircadmin/bin
crontab -e
Type in the window that pops up (push the insert key):
# this is to check the server every 2 mins
*/2 * * * * /home/ircadmin/bin/ircdchk >/dev/null 2>&1
Then push the esc key once or twice, then :wq
crontab: installing new crontab
Type
crontab -l
Now that's the IRC server itself. Time for the Anope IRC services. What's the point of an IRC server without the services unless your linking into an network with services then ... you are all good to go :) ...
