- | Note for those who dont bother reading docs |
- | |
- | Reading INSTALL is now a must, as the old DPATH is now specified when |
- | configure is run. |
- | |
- | - You now need to ./configure --prefix="/path/to/install/it" |
- | |
- | Important: The old config format WILL NOT WORK. Please see point 6! |
- | |
- | The old kline format WILL NOT WORK. Please see point 7! |

1.
- Read the ChangeLog file to find out about the exciting new features in
- this version. Other good reads are doc/whats-new.txt, BUGS,
- doc/example.conf, and README.FIRST.
-
- An example.conf for EFnet is in doc/ with the values "approved" on 12
- December 2001.
+ Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
+ this version. Other good reads are doc/example.conf, and
+ README.FIRST.
2.
Run the configure script. It will create include/setup.h and the
Makefiles to match your system. In ircd-ratbox, the paths are now handled
with the --prefix option to configure, not in config.h.
- /usr/local/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified.
+ $HOME/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified.
./configure --prefix="/usr/local/ircd"
--enable-ipv6 - Enable IPv6 support.
- *
-
- --disable-shared-modules - Disable module support. This option is
- more secure, but reduces a lot of the flexibility in Hybrid 7.
- This may need to be used on some systems without a working dl
- library.
-
*
--disable-assert - Disable some of the debugging code. This
*
- --with-nicklen - Sets the maximum NICK length. Note that this
- must be consistant across your entire network.
-
- *
-
- --with-maxclients - Sets the maximum number of clients support by
- the server. Note that this also twiddles the HARD_FDLIMIT_ define
- so it is no longer necessary to modify include/config.h for this.
- If HARD_FDLIMIT_ ends up being larger that FD_SETSIZE when using
- select() for your I/O loop, s_bsd_select.c will refuse to compile
- (and tell you to use poll instead). Take this error's advice and
- use --enable-poll or something a bit more efficient. You'll be
- happier at the end of the day for it.
-
+ --with-nicklen=LENGTH - Sets the maximum NICK length. Note that
+ this must be consistent across your entire network.
3.
- Look over the "include/config.h" file. This allows you to change the
- few remaining hard coded options of how the ircd will operate. Most
- admins will only have to change a few settings. USE_SYSLOG is the only
- one that most admins will need to edit.
-
- Note: Note that you must have permission by the sysadmin to send
- messages to the system log files.
-
- All other settings in config.h are not necessary to edit.
+ make should build ircd.
4.
- make should build ircd.
+ make install will install the server, modules, and tools in the
+ the prefix specified when configure was run.
5.
- make install will install the server, modules(1), and tools in the
- path defined in config.h and the prefix specified when configure was
- run.
-
- (1) Unless the server was compiled without module support.
-
- 6.
-
If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
issue these commands at the shell prompt (in the prefix directory)
Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch' the
specific names.
- 7.
+ 6.
If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config file has
changed drastically...
EDIT IT! There are still things that need changing in the config,
including the fact that classes MUST be above auth/connect blocks!
- 8.
+ 7.
If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the kline file has
also changed...
HOW TO GET HELP
- Send Check or Money Order to... just kidding! You're on your own for
- support. Try asking other ircd-ratbox admins on EFnet if you can't fix it
- yourself. If you do fix anything, however, please send context or unified
- diffs to ircd-ratbox@lists.ratbox.org so the fixes can be incorporated into
- the next release of ircd-hybrid. If ratbox crashes on you, PLEASE contact
- ircd-ratbox@lists.ratbox.org ASAP with a backtrace of the core.
+ The best way to get help regarding bugs and such is by asking on our
+ IRC channel which is at irc.thinstack.net #shadowircd . Bugs can also
