From the makers of InspIRCd.
Modules
When i start up InspIRCd, it has no features! i don't even have +a and +q modes or /silence!
By default, InspIRCd loads no modules. As every feature outside of RFC 1459 is actually a module, by loading no modules your ircd really won't do anything impressive. Load some modules and try again.
When i try to load a module i get: There was an error loading a module: Loader/Linker error: m_namehere.so: Undefined symbol "..."
This is due to your modules being older/newer than your core. type 'make clean' and rebuild your ircd again.
When i connect to my inspircd on the port i specified, i get something that looks like a webpage, or it just closes on me
Check that some other program is not listening on the port you specified.
When i run the ircd it bails and says it cant write /path/to/inspircd.pid
Edit your configuration file and check the pathnames you have specified are not the defaults from the example (which will NOT work without editing first)
I want to submit a module, how should i do it?
We are selective in which modules we include with the base distribution, however if you want us to look at your module provide a link to it on the forum, here.
I am using x-chat with some scripts, and when i use the m_park module to unpark, all of my channels go to the status tab
This is a fault in your script, not xchat or inspircd. Contact the author of the script, or modify the script so that it does not cause the issue (as we cannot identify what causes this issue, only that having a script loaded is indeed the root cause, we cannot be of any more assistance than this -- sorry!)
How can i op myself/kick someone without being opped, when i'm opered?
You need to load the m_override.so module. Add the following to your Configuration:
<module name="m_override.so">
You must then restart or rehash your IRCd if it is currently running. Note that if you do this on a network the module must be loaded on all servers or the modechange may be reversed causing desyncs and all sorts of other nastiness.
When users connect inspircd never resolves their ident...
Ident lookups on InspIRCd are a module. You must load m_ident.so for ident lookups to function.
