Re: ircd server problem

[ssubodh@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
     Thanks for the help. But again I am facing the same problem.
I removed the RPM that i had installed earlier and then after downloading
the tar.gz from www.undernet.org I compiled and installed it

....Now when it runs and I try to connect from the same machine it says
"Connecting to <my server ip>
  Connected "

But none of the irc commands work after this
If I connect from some X irc client ( Xchat )...there is one more message
that i get after the "Connected " message and that is
"Now logging in ...."
And then it does nothing
What could be the possible reason behind this behaviour ?...

It will be of really great help if you could tell me what are the steps I
need to follow during the configuration and installation of ircd.
One more thing : My machine is under DHCP so I don't have a domainname but
I give the ircd server as my Machine IP ...can this one of the problems ?

TIA

Thanks & Regards
Subodh

That is says nothing when it fails to start is one of the most
annoying things about it yes.

We don't really ship any rpm's, so I have no idea what the
compile time options are.

I guess you ran chkconf on it?

One of the common problems is that you're missing a P-line or
something.  Or that binding to the socket failed for an other
reason.
