------------------------------------------------------------------------ ratbox-services has been successfully installed. A sample configuration file 'ratbox-services.conf' has been created in '/usr/local/etc/', you should edit this file as per the ratbox-services documentation. This file is required to start services. You may also need to perform the following steps, if you have not already done so: Initialize Database: -------------------- This must be done before the services server can start, even if you are converting from hybserv. Instructions for this are contained in: /usr/local/share/doc/ratbox-services/INSTALL. The following directory has been created for the database to be stored in. For consistency, please use this location when generating your database instead of the directory specified in the help documentation: /var/db/ratbox-services IRCD Server Config: ------------------- On the ircd ratbox-services will connect to, add a connect{} block. This should have services's server name (name in serverinfo{} in ratbox-services.conf) and no autoconnect. 'send_password' and 'accept_password' should be equal and 'flags=encrypted' should not be used. If you use the ratbox-services compatibility code in ircd-ratbox, all servers need service { name = ""; }; Once you have added ratbox_services_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, the server can be started by running: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ratbox-services start Important UPGRADE Note: ----------------------- Upgrading from the 1.0.x series to this current release will likely break everything. If upgrading between release versions you should read the UPDATING information: /usr/local/share/doc/ratbox-services/UPDATING Common database update tools and scripts referenced in ratbox-services documentation can be found in: /usr/local/share/doc/ratbox-services/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
