Tip of the day: UnrealIRCd 6 uses GeoIP by default. It is shown in WHOIS but also available as country in mask items,

for example it can be used in the TLD Block to serve a Spanish MOTD to people in Spanish speaking countries.

  1. Backup your existing /home/xxx/unrealircd directory:
    cp -Rav /home/xxx/unrealircd /home/xxx/unrealircd.bak
  2. Download and install latest version of UnrealIRCd. See Installing from source and stop before Creating a configuration file.
  3. Double check: make sure you ran make install as this will install all new files in /home/xxx/unrealircd.
  4. Configuration test to make sure the IRCd will boot later (this will not start the ircd, it will only TEST the configuration!):
    cd /home/xxx/unrealircd
    ./unrealircd configtest
    This should print out:
    Configuration test passed OK
    If you see warnings/errors, fix them and run ./unrealircd configtest again until all issues are fixed.
  5. Now you can restart the IRCd so it uses the new version:
    cd /home/xxx/unrealircd
    ./unrealircd restart
