Re: [cgiirc-general] moderating irc chat

[Gary L. M. <ga...@ca...>]

I believe it is a function of your IRC server; check to see if you
have something like ChanServ running and then you can set the minimum
permissions for your channel such that only the lecturer has a voice.

RE: [cgiirc-general] moderating irc chat

[<egg...@sj...>]

Hello,

that has nothing to do with CGI:IRC. You just setup your channel and
moderate it. Then it affects all deoped and devoiced users whether they are
using mIRC, CGI:IRC or any other IRC client. When you want your users
(either client type) to be able to speak in the channel you (an operator of
a channel) just unset +m again for the time being.
For me it sounds like you are not very familiar with IRC, if so:
To moderate your channel as an operator (@): /mode #your-channel +m
To unmoderate your channel as an operator (@): /mode #your-channel -m
Most IRC clients (like mIRC) supports (un)setting modes with a few clicks
with the mouse.
Operators can at any time speak to a moderated channel so can voiced (users
with a +) users. It is possible to allow certain people to be able to write
all the time by giving them +v without giving them full access to the
channel being able to kick/ban others.
IRC is the ideal way of having lectures like you described it due to the
features it provides.
Good luck with your lectures.

Best regards Soren Jensen

Subject: [cgiirc-general] moderating irc chat


Hello.  I downloaded and installed CGI-IRC.  I have a question about
creating a moderated chat session and I don't know if this has to do with
IRC itself, or with the client.  We wish to conduct a weekly
seminar/lecture series, at which time our guest speaker will address the
audience (via IRC).  My question is, can we stop (moderate) others from
having their chat post coming through while the speaker is conducting the
lecture, then when he or she has finished the lecture, open up discussion
with the visitors for Q&A?

Thanks.

[cgiirc-general] Max connections?

[Kenneth S. <ken...@gm...>]

Hi

Is there a max connections setting somewhere? Seems like I only can
have 3-4 connections at a time. I'm using the Beware IRC server and
I've configured it to take 10 connections.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

That looks like you are using a *very* old version of perl or the
install (of perl) is broken. Maybe your host needs you to change
the #! line at the top of the script to point to a different path
to perl (e.g: #!/usr/local/bin/perl, /usr/bin/perl5 or
/usr/local/bin/perl5, most likely written on some support
web page).

Yeah, there's a bit of a bug in 0.5.4 with this, it's sort of fixed
in 0.5.5pre1[1] (but not totally) or you could try 0.5.3..

[cgiirc-general] Premature end of script headers

[Julien R. <ju...@ra...>]

Hello,

I've got a problem using my own CGI:IRC (v0.5).
The application was working fine until yesterday. Since, I've got a lot 
of those errors into the cgiirc error log :

[Fri Jul  2 13:06:31 2004] [error] [client 195.101.54.233] Premature end 
of script headers: /home/users/services/cgiirc/cgi-bin/irc.cgi

I've alreay seen a post about this problem, but no answer to it.
(here : 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4671509&forum_id=7944)
Could anyone help me ?

Note : I'm using debian woody, and no updates were made for months and 
nothing has been changed into the configuration.

Thank you :)

[cgiirc-general] Problem with connection limiting

[Benjamin K. <BK...@gm...>]

Hi

First of all i'm happy that there is such a nice project :)
It works almost fine on my httpd (apache2).
But there is one little thing:
I configured the cgiirc.config and set the max_users value to 4.
I was able to connect with 5 Users and i recieved a g-line :(
One day later i set the max_users to 1 and it was also possible to
connect with more than 1 user (4 users!)
Seems like the connection check isn't working right.

Btw. the viewconnects.pl doesnt show any connections! Perl is
installed and is working fine. The script always says something like
this:
[insane@server docs]$ perl viewconnects.pl
No connections found.

Any ideas?

It's  Ok, fixed. Added marginwidth = "20" and marginheight =  "20" to 
the main frame in nonjs.pm. Seems to correct the problem.

[cgiirc-general] Problem with scrolling in main window

[Iain H. <ia...@ps...>]

Hi,

I have set up cgiirc on my webserver and it works fantastically well 
with common browsers. However we are also trying to cater for users on 
the amiga browser Ibrowse. The client works very well except for an 
issue with scrolling in the main window. The scrollbar is always a few 
pixels up from it's base after new text is displayed making the recent 
line invisible until the user scrolls down the remaining few pixels. Is 
it possible to add an extra blank line to the displayed text in this box 
i.e. make it double spaced as this would be a messy but highly effective 
workaround. If so what requires modification to achieve this. Any other 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

But when I connect to the server per mIRC, the following comes up while
connecting:

-  You are connected to wineasy.se.quakenet.org.
-  Available ports are 6667, 6668, 6669, 6670 and 7000.

and in my cgi:irc it says the following

*** Connecting to irc.quakenet.org [193.213.112.156] port 6667

*** An error occured: Connecting to IRC: Connection timed out (60 seconds)

so normally the port should be ok

or do I need to call my provider again asking them to free the ports?
And are there any other possibilities which could be causing this problem?

Anyway thank you for the fast answer! :)

I've just installed CGI IRC the first time and well, I've got problems.
Maybe you are able to help me, as there wasn't anyone available in the chat
when I was online.

I've got everything uploaded and chmoded. The config file points to a

The really strange thing is that I had the problem once a week ago. I
restarted Apache (2.0.49, MPM:Prefork) and the problem was gone. But not
today :(

As you can see from the cgi.log it seems that the script doesn't do any
output if called from Apache. If I run the script on the command line
I'll get the HTML code of the login page.

BTW: The same Apache2 serves some sites with PHP as CGI an this runs
wonderful, no problem, so the problem seems to be not Apache related.

THX & bye

You can use the output none option to ignore most of the lines the
server sends on connect which speeds things up a bit.

It doesn't work well on Macs on most of the browsers (except Mozilla)
