In this case, the - missing messages will be displayed in English. You can either wait for - the primary translator to provide us with a translation, or do the - translation yourself and send us the messages translated into your - language. - -1.4) Anope always dies after about five minutes, saying "FATAL ERROR! Can't - back up nick.db". - - Make sure that the user Anope runs as has write access to the data - directory, and that the data directory actually exists (the latter - shouldn't be a problem if you ran the Config script). This means Anope - needs write and execute permission on the data directory itself and execute - permission on every parent directory of the data directory. - -1.5) Anope crashed with a segmentation fault. - - See if you can reproduce this by doing a certain sequence of things. If - so, please report it to us (see part 6 of README file). If not, you're - probably out of luck; if you like, you can report it to us anyway, but - chances are it won't get fixed if we don't have instructions on reproducing - it. If you do have such a problem, you may find the crontab utility useful - for dealing with it. - - Also, see the DumpCore directive in the configuration file. It allows Anope - to dump its core whenever it's segfaulting, usually calling it core and - placing it into Anope's main directory. Open up gdb by issuing the - following command at your shell: - - * gdb services core - - (of course replacing 'core' with the name of the core if different) and - type 'bt' at the gdb prompt. After that, send us the output you got and - keep the core file in a safe place, in case we need it to dig deeper into - the problem. - -1.6) I've found a bug that's not mentioned here or in the README or BUGS files. - What should I do? - - See section 6 of the README file. - -1.7) My FreeBSD box complains about 'Shared object "nss_dns.so.1" not found' - - We haven't figured out the exact cause yet, but as a quickfix you can - delete the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Please keep in mind that removing a - configuration file can be dangerous, so only do this if you know what you - are doing. - -1.8) Anope and long (more then 30 character) nicknames. - - By default, Anope only supports nicknames up to 30 characters (NICKLEN=30). - If your IRCd allows for longer nicknames or has been modified to do so - Anope will start logging a lot of ("NICK from nonexistent nick") messages. - This is because once a user uses a nick that is too long for Anope to handle, - Anope loses track of the user for the remainder of the session. - It is POSSIBLE but not NOT RECOMMENDED to extend the maximum length of nicknames - Anope can track, however this will also break database compatibility. DBs saved - with Anope set to allow for example 40 chars cannot be read by a clean Anope - installation and vice versa. So changing the maximum nick length is only possible - when starting with fresh databases and even then the consequences of this are - UNTESTED. - In order to change the maximum internal nick length, change the NICKMAX setting - in include/config.h, recompile anope and start without databases. - - -2) Installation / Configuration - -2.1) When I run "make", I get an error message like "missing separator", - "Unassociated shell command", "Unexpected end of line seen", etc. - - Your make program isn't compatible with the Makefile for Anope. The - Makefile was designed to work with GNU make, and as such may not work on - other systems' "make" programs. If you get an error from "make", obtain - GNU make from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/make/ (or wherever you prefer) and - use it instead of your system's default "make". Note that GNU make may - already be installed on your system; try using the command "gmake" instead - of "make". - - The make programs bundled with SunOS/Solaris and FreeBSD have been reported - not to work; you will need to use GNU make on these systems. - -2.2) I get an error like "Makefile.inc not found". - - You forgot to run the Config script first. See the INSTALL file for - compilation instructions. - -2.3) I typed "./services" at the command line, but nothing happened! - - Anope puts itself in the background when it starts, so you get your shell - prompt right back. Meanwhile, Anope will continue setting up, then connect - to the IRC server specified in services.conf (or on the command line). If - it doesn't connect, you probably specified the wrong IRCd or RemoteServer in - the configuration file. Check to make sure that you are actually running one of - the supported IRCds, also. A list of supported IRCds can be found in the README - file. - - You can also check the log file (services.log by default) for error - messages. Starting services with the -support command line option - will prevent it from running in the background will output the - messages written to the log file to the console as well. Please note that this - will also prevent 3rd party modules from loading and will put Anope into - debug mode. - -2.4) Whenever I start Anope, I get a message on my IRC server saying - "connection refused" or something similar, and Anope gives an error - message from the server saying "Closing Link: ...". - - See section 3 of the INSTALL file. - -2.5) My IRC server is giving me messages like "Connection to - services.whatever.net[127.0.0.1] activated" and then "Access denied -- no - N line". Why? - - This is typically caused by including a port number in the C:line for - services, which tells your server to try to autoconnect to it (depending on - the class (Y:line) settings). This is not what you want, because Anope - will connect to the server itself, but does not listen for servers to - connect to it. The solution is to remove the port number from the C:line. - -2.6) When I say "/connect services.*", it doesn't work! - - You cannot /connect services. When you start Anope, it will attempt to - connect to the server you specified in services.conf. Please see the answer - above for more information. - -2.7) Anope starts up okay, but if I try to register a nickname, it comes back - with "Sorry, registration failed." - - Make sure you've selected the correct IRC server type in the configure - script; see section 3 of the INSTALL file for details. - -2.8) Anope reports (via /stats u or /msg OperServ STATS) a different number of - users online than I get from doing /lusers. - - Anope doesn't count its own pseudo-clients (NickServ, ChanServ, etc.) in - its user count, while the IRC server does. - -3) BotServ - -3.1) How do I add bots to BotServ? - - Read /msg BotServ HELP and /msg BotServ HELP BOT. Note that you need to be - opered up and identified as a Services Administrator in Anope before you - can use the BOT command. - -3.2) Why do kick triggers and fantasy commands fail to work with my Bahamut - IRCd? - - Bahamut allows you to setup a server as 'serviceshub'. This will filter - certain data that services usually don't need to process. This option also - filters channel messages, because DALnet's services have no use for them. - Anope parses the channel messages for kick triggers and fantasy commands. - To make sure these work the server type of the hub they're linked to should - be simply 'hub' and not 'serviceshub'. - - -4) ChanServ - -4.1) Anope's channel mode setting doesn't work. I can't set modes with - OperServ, and every time ChanServ tries to set a mode, my server reverses - the change. - - Make sure EVERY server on your network has a U: line for Services in - ircd.conf, for example: - - U:services.whatever.net:*:* - -4.2) Anope ignored the SET SUCCESSOR setting and deleted a channel when the - founder expired. - - Normally, this is because the successor had too many channels registered. - In this case, you will see an entry in the log file like the following: - - [date] Successor (SuccessorNick) of channel #somechannel owns too many - channels, deleting channel #somechannel - - If you don't get a message like this or you can verify that the successor - wasn't running into the channel limit, please report it using the - bug-reporting procedure in section 6 of the README file. - -4.3) How to auto voice all those whom join my #channel? - - Execute the following commands (/cs is an alias for /msg ChanServ): - - /cs set #channel secure off - /cs set #channel xop off - /cs levels #channel set AUTOVOICE -1 - -4.4) Channel options like RESTRICTED or SECUREOPS don't work. What's wrong? - - Make sure that you didn't put any of your normal IRCd's as a ULined server - in Anope. Some access checks for clients from ULined servers are skipped to - avoid fights between the ULined servers. This is usually only useful when - you have a statistics server connected to your network. - -5) OperServ - -5.1) Using the OperServ JUPE command results in server messages like "Server - juped.server introduced by non-hub server services.my.net". - - Services' uplink must have an H: line for Services in the ircd.conf file, - which looks something like: - - H:*::services.whatever.net - -5.2) When I add an AKILL, the users matching it don't get killed. - - Use the AkillOnAdd configuration directive. - -5.3) Trying to use OperServ gives me "Access denied". - - Check that you're opered on your IRCd (ie, moded +o) - Check that you're identified to a nickname listed within an opertype allowed to do the command you're trying. - Check whether you can use /msg operserv staff - -5.4) I can't get /OS UMODES and /OS SVSNICK to work! - - You need to be a SuperAdmin to be able to use these commands. - -5.5) What is a Super-Admin? How does it work? Why might it not work? - - SuperAdmin's have extra privileges, including being founder on all - channels. It must be activated on a per user basis and is only available to - Services Roots. It is set using OperServ and is not persistent. It only - works if SuperAdmin is not commented in the services configuration file, - which is commented out by default. Read /msg OperServ HELP SET SUPERADMIN - for further help. |
