Dynamic Configuration Guide - Edit ircd.conf to correctly reflect your server configuration. - Edit networks/unrealircd.conf to suit you. If you're going to use your own network file (encouraged), change the "Include" line to point to your own network file. - Assuming you do want your own network file, copy template.network in networks/ to yourircnet.network. Edit it to your liking. If you've completed all these steps *correctly* your server should start up without any problems. If there are errors, there is an extremely high chance that it's due to user configuration error. Please read the documentation and check over your configuration files before contacting us. If the problem persists, and you cannot fix it, email luke@unrealircd.com or come on irc.ircsystems.net and /join #unreal-support. - Luke (luke@unrealircd.com)
