Revision as of 04:44, 4 October 2008
Since ircd-darenet is currently exclusively developed for DareNET, this install guide is written with that in mind. Should you need assistance, please contact a Server Management Team member.
In This Guide: |
Step 1 - Obtaining ircd-darenet
First, SSH into your server, and run the following command:
svn co <url> ircd-darenet
Use the URL sent to you in your testlink e-mail for <url>, without the brackets of course.
Once you have issued this command, the system will begin to download the latest version of ircd-darenet, as used on DareNET.
Step 2 - Ensure you have required packages
Now, before we continue further, we'd like to make sure you have the packages needed for a successful install. So be sure you have the packages below installed on your box:
- openssl
- libssl-dev (for enabling ssl -- openssl-devel on redhat)
- autoconf (to avoid errors when running make)
- automake
- gawk (neededfor lsync)
The named packages above can be fetched (on a Debian-based system) with apt-get.
For example:
sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev autoconf automake gawk
The actual names of the packages above may vary, depending on your distribution.
Step 3 - Installing ircd-darenet
Since ircd-darenet is developed for DareNET, you will not need to edit any configuration settings prior to installing it. So, let's move on to getting the server installed and running:
cd ircd-darenet
You can use one centralized directory if you'd like; however, we don't really recommend it. Additionally, DO NOT forget to enable ssl when:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/ircd --enable-ssl
Once that is done, run:
make
then:
make install
If everything runs smoothly, you should now have an ircd directory:
cd /home/user/ircd
Step 4 - Editing the configuration file
Unlike most ircd's and networks, this is a fairly painless process on DareNET.
First, fetch the ircd.conf to the ircd directory:
wget -O ircd.conf http://www.darenet.org/files/ircd/ircd.conf
Edit the configuration lines as needed. Once you have done that, contact a Server Manager so they can setup lsync for your server, which fetch the additional configuration settings and keep them updated automagically.
