Tip of the day: Connthrottle will limit the damage from big drone attacks. Check if the flood thresholds and exceptions are OK for your network.

Creating a configuration file

  1. Your UnrealIRCd directory contains a number of folders. The conf folder is where your configuration file will go into, navigate into that folder now. The conf folder contains a subdirectory called examples which contains example.conf. Copy this file to your conf directory and rename it to unrealircd.conf.
  2. Open the conf\unrealircd.conf file with an editor such as notepad. Even better, use an editor which shows line numbers, like Notepad++.
  3. Read the Configuration file syntax article. It will only take a few minutes and will save you a lot of trouble in next step(s)!
  4. Walk through the unrealircd.conf block by block / line by line and edit the settings to suit your needs. This takes 10 - 20 minutes.
  5. Boot UnrealIRCd. Go to Start -> All Programs -> UnrealIRCd -> UnrealIRCd
  6. Errors? Edit your unrealircd.conf, fix them (see the FAQ for common problems), and try starting UnrealIRCd again.
  7. Up and running? Connect with an IRC client to your server and have fun. See next section too.
