trq Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Is uberbeef.org your domain? if so, is it listed in your /etc/hosts file? eg; 127.0.0.1 uberbeef.org Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/112451-irc/#findComment-577334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Make sure it is listening not only to local connections. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/112451-irc/#findComment-577338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfmason Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 When I ping uberbeef.org I do not get any responses. This may prevent external clients from connecting but I am not sure. ping uberbeef.org PING uberbeef.org (86.150.246.184) 56(84) bytes of data. --- uberbeef.org ping statistics --- 76 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 75607ms Also, I would check out jabber if I were you. IMO, it is 100x better than irc and few hosts block those ports compared to an irc server. I like ejabberd and have been using it for almost a year now without any problems at all.

tomfmason Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 how do i make it look for external connections? in your ircd.conf do something like listen { ip="your external ip or domain name"; port=6667; }; The reason for the lack of response from pings could be that you may not be allowing ICMP ping requests. You can fix this by doing something like iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT or ACCEPT icmp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Assuming you are using iptables. Also, this needs to come before any rule like this: REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/112451-irc/#findComment-577361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 @tomfmason & 0perator: The different IRCds have different ways of configuring it. You may have to consult the documentation instead.

0perator Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 this is what it says now listen { /* port: the specific port to listen on. if no host is specified * before, it will listen on all available IPs. * * ports are seperated via a comma, a range may be specified using ".." */ /* port: listen on all available IPs, ports 6665 to 6669 */ host = "uberbeef.org"; # change this! port = 6667; }; still getting connection refused...
