[cgiirc-general] not connected to irc

[Gethin C. <gc...@ed...>]

Hi,
recently moved server and let my channel lapse: I have re-created  =
channel on blitzed.org, set up as the last installation but it wont =
connect to irc:
http://www.ediblemedia.com.au/cgi-bin/irc.cgi

channel is #small-planet
I've chmodded all cgi files to 755
Any ideas?
Geth

heres the start of the config file:

# See http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/docs/config.php for help editing it.

default_name =3D CGI:IRC User

# default nickname, a ? is replaced with a random number
default_nick =3D zippo??

# The default username to send, this will only be sent if=20
# encode_ip (below) is set to 1 or less and will have no affect
# if the system is running identd.
default_user =3D cgiirc

# Default quit message
#quit_message =3D CGI:IRC
# Quit prefix added to EOF messages and other quits not from /quit
#quit_prefix =3D CGI:IRC

[cgiirc-general] question concerning default names

[simon b. <con...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I would like to know if I can link to cgi:irc using a default name by 
including it in the link (ie: href='irc/irc.cgi?nick=foobar'  ??? is this 
possible and what should I use for it ?

grtz,
Simon

[cgiirc-general] IE6 and enter keys

[Paul <zen...@ze...>]

Hi

I am not sure if this is a known problem, at home I am using IE6 with =
Windows 98SE where cgiirc works fine, with my local lug, I also use =
linux suse 9, and have just installed debian. it seems to work fine with =
that too.=20

However at my local library (using Win2k i think) it seems that i can =
connect fine, enter text fine, but if I then press enter to submit what =
I am typing it does not work.  I sent a message to the local lug ( not =
got anything back yet) asking for advice and to see if anyone else has =
noticed the same problem).=20

I have just been chatting on the lug irc channel and the user there said =
there are some issues with IE6 not allowing the use of the enter key to =
submit forms,  so it could be the way the software is set up,  is it =
possible to have a button to do the same job, as this could get round =
the problem.

Thanks for any help

Re: [cgiirc-general] Non-persistant connections

[Jeff T. <shd...@so...>]

Oh well.  Just wanted to put it out that there is still a desire for 
such a feature.

On another note, how hard would it be to add a config file flag which 
would tell the client to actually display JPG and GIF file links, rather 
than just showing the URL?  I've been looking for something that could 
be used for online demos, where the person giving the demo would be able 
to have their pictures show up in line with the talk.

[cgiirc-general] Non-persistant connections

[Jeff T. <shd...@so...>]

I remember reading on one of the 'planned features' pages that in the 
future cgi:irc would support browsers where persistant connections could 
not be maintained.  I have this problem at work - the proxy servers kill 
our connection after about 15 minutes.

I have not seen any further mention of this, and am hoping it has not 
dropped off the radar as a needed feature.  Are there still any plans 
for supporting this?

Re: [cgiirc-general] IPv6 idents

[Darius T. <si...@ko...>]

Hi,

just found few more bugs.

when cgiirc writing tep files in file server when it working with IPv4 =
server it writes something like:
21x.19y.12s.s90:6667
193.219.def.abc:38203
irc.server.net
nick

when i connecting to IPv6 server /server file looks like:
aaaa:bbb::6667:7666
:0
irc6.server.net
CGI464

i thing it's definetly wrong.

and line which fetchs identd.pl when trying to select local and remote =
ports its going wrong becouse in IPv6 adress to much ":" ;) we nead to =
correct way how to get last digits which ar port numbers:
local *TMP;
open(TMP, "<$dir$_/server") or next;
chomp(my $tmp =3D <TMP>);
next unless $tmp =3D~ /:$r$/;

chomp($tmp =3D <TMP>);
next unless $tmp =3D~ /:$l$/;
close TMP;

$r and $l he wil be wrong.

  It would be the job of your inetd to do this, if you mean encoded IPs
  then IPv6 addresses cannot be compressed into the 9 characters allowed
  for usernames on IRC..

Re: [cgiirc-general] IPv6 idents

[Darius T. <si...@ko...>]

Hi,

Actualy i am talking about inetd.pl
it's 2 situations. in first the someone contacting IRC:CGI using ipv4 =
and going to irc server which one based on IPv4.
server with CGI:IRC receives ident request from ircd on IPv4 and answers =
it corectly.
the line in inetd.conf looks like:
auth   stream  tcp     nowait.128      www     /usr/local/sbin/identd.pl =
      identd.pl

the second situation: someone contacting IRC:CGI using ipv4 and going to =
irc server which based on IPv6
server with CGI:IRC receives ident request from ircd on IPv6 and here - =
no ident reply. because identd.pl wont listen on IPv6

I changed inetd.conf to look like that:
auth   stream  tcp6    nowait.128      www     /usr/local/sbin/identd.pl =
      identd.pl
but it refuse to listen on IPv6 113 port, then i changed strink like =
this:

auth    stream  tcp6    nowait.128      www     /usr/sbin/tcpd  =
/usr/local/sbin/identd.pl

now i got this when isue command netstat -l -n =3Dp|grep 113

tcp        0      0 :::113                  :::*                    =
LISTEN

looks like it listens on port 113 on both IPv4 and IPv6
but with ident request comming from IPv4 irc server all goes ok,

but identd.pl still cant ansver ident requests frop IPv6 based server.

what we nead to change in identd.pl to solve this.

Hi,

can anyone help to rewrite ident script which ships with cgi:irc, to add
support for IPv6 (listen on IPv6)

Thanks

RE: [cgiirc-general] Intall issue - nph-irc.cgi

[Nighthawk <nig...@bi...>]

Thanks David and Julien

It now works using IP addresses for the servers - I'll contact the ISP to
see if they can do something on the DNS config stuff - I kinow the box is
running Sun SOlaris


I guess your ISP is using a chroot environment, without knowing the system I
can't really say why DNS lookups aren't working, it could be because they
have restricted sockets (in which case you'll not get IRC connections
working
either) or there just might be some files missing (/etc/resolv.conf, maybe 
/etc/nsswitch.conf). You could always try just using an IP address to
connect
to so a DNS lookup isn't needed.

You're free to use the second form, if you created this directory. (BTW,
tmp should be 1777 (with the sticky bit), not simply 777. Or maybe 755
depending on your setup).
Don't forget to change this in cgiirc.conf too.

RE: [cgiirc-general] Intall issue - nph-irc.cgi

[Nighthawk <nig...@bi...>]

OK you guys will have to bear with me I know very little perl and this is an
ISP hosted shell so the config is somewhat foreign

The CGI:IRC is installed in /cgi-bin/irc the images in /html/images
I have created a tmp dir under irc so /cgi-bin/irc/tmp and made it 777

I'm a little lost on the comment:
"check if the parent directories for this mkdir exist at all. If not,
create them" 
I'm not really sure what directories I should be looking for or making?
Also when changing the path in client-perl.cgi what is the path syntax ie
from the cgi executing or from the root

Ie $PREFIX = "/tmp/cgiirc-"; or $PREFIX = "/cgi-bin/irc/tmp/cgiirc-";

Indeed, but it's /tmp so your system sounds a bit weird. Any
directory that the web server can write to will do. To change
socket_prefix though you will also need to change the path in
client-perl.cgi.

check if the parent directories for this mkdir exist at all. If not,
create them :)

OK I removed the -T from the first line and that error went away but
unfortunately another appeared. Very strange this load fine on my last
shell.

The chat interface loads but then this error appears:
[11:11] *** An error occured: Mkdir error: No such file or directory

 It appears to be from line 991 in nph-irc.cgi

Hi all
 
Having a problem getting cgi:irc to run
Had to uncomment the Begin line for directory change and now this error
occurs:
 
Insecure dependency in chdir while running with -T switch at
/d4/d8/e-interactiv.net/cgi-bin/irc/nph-irc.cgi line 22.

Any suggestions on how to get around this

[cgiirc-general] where to send /notice

[Diego G. <di...@ya...>]

Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible to change where messages
sent with a /notice are displayed, with CGIIRC they
are displayed in the status window, so maybe users
don't realize the received a message, in mirc they are
displayed in the active channel window.
Is it possible to modify this behaviour?
Thanks.
Regards.
Diego.
PS: by the way, very useful the option to choose
whether to display or not join, part and quit messages
with the channel output.
