[Unreal-support] Help with UnrealIRCd...

[Hamm, C. M. <cm...@wc...>]

I am in desperate need of some help, and hopefully it is a simple problem...

I have been tasked with setting up an IRC server for my company. It is
supposed to be done by 10/12/01 (tomorrow...) It is a private IRC server
behind a firewall, and does not need to be linked. I am running Red Hat 7.1.
Trying to use UnrealIRCd 3.1.2. This is the error line I keep getting:


* Loaded networks/worldcom-tac.network ..
* Loaded networks/unrealircd.conf ..
* Loaded badwords.message.conf (message filter words) ..
* Loaded badwords.channel.conf (channel filter words) ..
* Dynamic configuration initialized .. booting IRCd.

|             Possible problems:             |
| (1) IRCd already running.                  |
| (2) The correct IP was not placed in the   |
|     M:line of the ircd.conf.               |
| (3) DPATH or SPATH's are incorrect. Run    |
|     ./Config to correct that.              |
| (4) Someone else is running an ircd on the |
|     default port you chose in ircd.conf.   |

1) IRCd is not already running. Confirmed ad naseum.
2) Here is my M line:  M:tac-irc.inhouse.wcom.net:*:tac IRC services:6667
3) ??? (I ran ./Config three times)
4) No other applications are running on this box...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank in advance.
