2 | Configuration rant, by Stskeeps | |
3 | -------------------------------- | |

5 | Right.. so you think you are done now, you can boot your IRCd and be happy, | |
6 | and it just works. No, you still got a lot to do. You need to read all of | |
7 | the documentation through. Would you even have made it this far without | |
8 | makeconf?. | |

10 | Well, today, people think they can be 3 months on IRC, and be ready to run | |
11 | an IRC daemon. I hate to say this, but I don't think so. | |
12 | ||
13 | If you cannot read an IRC help file, or understand what stuff like "desynch", | |
14 | "masskill", "k-line", or what "mode # +l 5" means - or you got no experince | |
15 | in the UNIX field at all, like, you MUST know how to invoke a editor in a | |
16 | shell, or to unzip a file. If you don't know/can do these things, I suggest | |
17 | you stop trying to set this up, and go read on some UNIX tutorials, and IRC | |
18 | tutorials. It takes a LOT of work to run a IRC server good. | |

c2946892 | 20 | I mean. I sit on the #unreal-support support channel each day, and I see |
a3641d1f | 21 | countless questions about stuff that IS IN the documentation. Numerous |
22 | people don't even bother to look at the config files (CONFIG_FILE_STOP | |
23 | problem). | |
24 | ||
25 | You need to look at the documentation now. You need to see how to "include" | |
26 | other configuration files. You need to know how to work out how to use | |
27 | doc/example.settings. I can only tell you, if you ask for support, and it | |
28 | is for errors that you could solve by reading the first lines of a document, | |
29 | then you'll be firmly ignored. I'm sorry, we cannot help your laziness. | |

31 | Anyhow, good luck with setting this up. Hope you understand what I am saying | |
32 | here. You will learn a lot more reading, than just ignoring what we are | |
33 | saying. | |
