= 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.
