- | 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! |

*
- --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
- should be used on all production servers for maximum speed and to
- prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
+ --enable-assert[=OPTION] - Enable some debugging code. OPTION is
+ either 'soft' or 'hard' (default: hard). 'hard' should never be
+ used on production servers as it may generate unnecessary cores.
+ 'soft' prevents cores from being generated but still imposes some
+ additional load.
*
*
- --with-nicklen - Sets the maximum NICK length. Note that this
- must be consistant across your entire network.
-
+ --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.
-
- If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config file has
- changed drastically...
-
- There is a utility to convert your old config file to the new format.
- In prefix/bin there is something called "convertconf". Its usage is:
- ./convertconf (old config file to convert) (converted file name)
-
- Convertconf will NOT convert I: lines. You must use "convertilines"
- for this which contains a much superior method of conversion and
- will group I: together under one auth {};.
-
- Once this is done, move your new config to prefix/etc/ircd.conf and
- EDIT IT! There are still things that need changing in the config,
- including the fact that classes MUST be above auth/connect blocks!
-
- 8.
-
- If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the kline file has
- also changed...
-
- There is a utility to convert the old kline configuration file to the
- new format. In prefix/bin there is a program called "convertklines".
- Its usage is: ./convertklines (old kline.conf filename) (new
- kline.conf filename) (dline.conf filename).
-
- Once this is done, move the new files into the prefix/etc/ directory
- under their proper names. By default, the kline file is named
- kline.conf and the dline file is named dline.conf.
