loaded. The code to raise this warning was already present but it was not being shown in many cases (when it actually should). It now looks like this, if you run ./unrealircd start and previously crashed AND have any 3rd party mods loaded: The IRCd has been started now (and is running), but it did crash 1 seconds ago. Crash report generated in: /home/ircd/unrealircd/tmp/crash.report.core.1621838267.txt ** IMPORTANT ** Your UnrealIRCd crashed and you have 3rd party modules loaded (modules created by someone other than the UnrealIRCd team). If you installed new 3rd party module(s) in the past few weeks we suggest to unload these modules and see if the crash issue dissapears. If so, that module is probably to blame. If you keep crashing without any 3rd party modules loaded then please do report it to the UnrealIRCd team. The reason we ask you to do this is because MORE THAN 95% OF ALL CRASH ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY 3RD PARTY MODULES and not by an UnrealIRCd bug. Shall I send a crash report to the UnrealIRCd developers? NOTE: If the crash is caused by a 3rd party module then UnrealIRCd devs can't fix that.
About UnrealIRCd
UnrealIRCd is an Open Source IRC Server, serving thousands of networks since 1999. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed IRCd with a market share of 42%. UnrealIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong focus on modularity, an advanced and highly configurable configuration file. Key features include SSL/TLS, cloaking, its advanced anti-flood and anti-spam systems, swear filtering and module support. We are also particularly proud on our extensive online documentation.
How to get started
Please consult our excellent online documentation at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/ when setting up the IRCd!
Step 1: Installation
Windows
Simply download the UnrealIRCd Windows version from www.unrealircd.org
Alternatively you can compile UnrealIRCd for Windows yourself. However this is not straightforward and thus not recommended.
*BSD/Linux/macOS
Do the following steps under a separate account for running UnrealIRCd, do NOT compile or run as root.
Step 1: Compile the IRCd
- Run
./Config - Run
make - Run
make install - Now change to the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd, e.g.
cd /home/xxxx/unrealircd
Step 2: Configuration
Configuration files are stored in the conf/ folder by default (eg: /home/xxxx/unrealircd/conf)
Create a configuration file
If you are new, then you need to create your own configuration file: Copy conf/examples/example.conf to conf/ and call it unrealircd.conf. Then open it in an editor and carefully modify it using the documentation and FAQ as a guide (see below).
Step 3: Booting
Linux/*BSD/macOS
Run ./unrealircd start in the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd.
Windows
Start -> All Programs -> UnrealIRCd -> UnrealIRCd
