RE: [cgiirc-general] motd file no exist

[peter g. <pet...@ho...>]

generally the motd file goes in the same dir as ircd.conf with the name 
ircd.motd

you will probablly need to rehash the ircd to make it read it

[cgiirc-general] motd file no exist

[cgiirc-general] Delay to connect

[fernando <fe...@te...>]

Is there, any way to go faster on connect?

[cgiirc-general] server issue

[nun <6e5...@sn...>]

On a linux server with the required support modules, etc.
with CGIIRC 0.5.4. Not running any pop-up blockers or ad
filters.  have looked at the list archives and haven't seen
any msg that applies to my problem.

We haven't changed the socket_prefix and our problem is
two-fold:

1) When you join the room the list of names in the room does
not show but instead they are all interposed on top of each
other and unreadable.

2) You can enter the room and watch the traffic but cannot
see the nicknames or send messages to the channel.

If you want to see the problem in action:
http://marriagehealing.org/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi

Any ideas?

OK, I tried on a sunos 5.8 box and it just needed the SUN_LEN macro =
adding
try replacing client.c with the file from http://o.dgl.cx/client.c

I compiled with:
cc -O -lsocket -o client.cgi client.c

Machine hardware:   sun4u
OS version:         5.9
Processor type:     sparc

The -lsocket fixed all the errors except SUN_LEN, but I'm not sure what the

What OS is that?
I think you may need something like -lsocket and maybe another header for
the SUN_LEN macro (assuming your OS has it..).

It tries to make a directory under /tmp, check the permissions
on /tmp (or change socket_prefix and the prefix in client-perl.cgi).

I'd be interested to know how well it works under OS X if that fixes
it :)

allow_non_default = 1
access_channel = .*

(or use cgiirc.config.full and delete the line that allows access to
all servers).

[cgiirc-general] Can't Compile C Client?

[Evan B. <eba...@pu...>]

when I try to compile the C client on my university's server I get the
following errors:
 
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
connect                             /var/tmp/ccdUq0Ib.o

send                                /var/tmp/ccdUq0Ib.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to client.cgi

Not sure what other information would help, but I'm curious to know if
there's anything I can do to fix this, as I'd like to use the C client
instead of the Perl client (as its stated that its faster, and would
probably get me in less trouble for overhead than the perl version)
 
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You won't be able to connect to that server, it is used for the CGI:IRC
server on cgiirc.blitzed.org only, try putting irc.blitzed.org as the
server. If that doesn't work I'd guess your host is firewalling IRC.
You could try using a different port (e.g. 7500 for Blitzed)..

I've considered that, and tried a server without a default IRC type port
(7890).. had the same problem.
Any chance could be webhost blocking known IRC scripts? heh

It sounds odd, I don't get the problem on IE6 or Mozilla either..

The new output code (which uses XMLHTTP) should popup a window with
the error if there is a problem.. although it is possible the
problem could be with the XMLHTTP code..
You could ask the users to try
http://buttersquash.net/cgi-bin/irc.cgi?interface=opera7
as this won't use the XMLHTTP code (but other things like scrolling won't
work either..).

[cgiirc-general] Help with prevention of usage with phpbb

Hey,

Is it possible to prevent cgiirc from being used unless your logged in to

I have made a script that redirects based on your login or not, but its not

Any help apprecated.

Final comment, I promise.  (I should have waited to post the last

[cgiirc-general] Mysterious problem with cgiirc

[<res...@ve...>]

I have set up a CGI:IRC interface at 
http://buttersquash.net/irc for the #altreligionscientology and
#scientologylies channels on Undernet.  I personally have no trouble
using these and most people who use them report the script works
flawlessly, but some people, for no obvious reason, are able to 
connect fine, and watch what is going on on channel, but they can't
type anything, and they eventually get disconnected for ping timeout.

It works fine for me in Mozilla Firefox, IE 6, and even to some limited
extent in lynx.  I can't figure out why this is happening, and why it is only
happening to some people.

(PS we are critics of Scientology, not Scientologists.)
