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. |

- Backup your existing /home/xxx/unrealircd directory:
cp -Rav /home/xxx/unrealircd /home/xxx/unrealircd.bak
- Download and install latest version of UnrealIRCd. See Installing from source and stop before Creating a configuration file.
- Double check: make sure you ran make install as this will install all new files in /home/xxx/unrealircd.
- 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.
- Now you can restart the IRCd so it uses the new version:
- cd /home/xxx/unrealircd
- ./unrealircd restart
