  34 <PRE>&gt;<i> &gt;Wish I could say the same. 4.5.1 is giving me a real
  35 </I>&gt;<i> headache. It refuses to
  36 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;read the chan.db file and claims it is an invalid format.
  37 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;
  38 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;We currently use Unreal3.1.1 and in the past have used the
  39 </I>&gt;<i> &quot;daylight&quot; build
  40 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;of IRC services which is basically the 4.3.3 version with
  41 </I>&gt;<i> Unreal modes added
  42 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;in.
  43 </I>&gt;<i>
  44 </I>&gt;<i>      This is your problem; Daylight's database format is
  45 </I>&gt;<i> different than that
  46 </I>&gt;<i> of Services, and Services cannot read the database files.  I
  47 </I>&gt;<i> will look into
  48 </I>&gt;<i> adding support for Daylight databases to import-db in the
  49 </I>&gt;<i> next release of
  50 </I>&gt;<i> Services.
  51 </I>
  52 I have now managed to get the Daylight databases loaded. By replacing the
  53 load_cs_dbase with the one from the daylight archive, starting services and
  54 allowing services to output the new database then rebuilding with the
  55 correct code I got a 95% accurate import.
  56
  57 The only real problem was that the channel modes do not match up to the
  58 current settings so certain modes got incorrectly set during the load. For
  59 example +V becomes +A and all users get banned from all channels. This was a
  60 small price to pay however to preserve the channel database and made for an
  61 &quot;interesting&quot; day on the network :)
  62
  63 Incidentally, the only difference I could find between the 4.3.3
  64 load_cs_dbase and the daylight one was the use of int32 rather than int16
  65 for the mlock on/off settings of the file but just modifying this in the
  66 original load_cs_dbase does not load the daylight database correctly. I
  67 guess there must be something else buried in there somewhere but at least we
  68 are running on the new revision now.
  69
  70 Knowing my luck a new import-db will come out tonight... hehe.
