Networks Irc

Anyone know an "easy" way to set up and IRC server.

Got a Unix based web server and hope to get one running for some friends.

Cheers

 

you have to ask yourself why you want your own IRC server

when servers like quakenet will give you channels for free and you dont have to worry about someone hacking your server

 

In the end that's what my friend ended up doing.

Figured we'd run our own, justify having the space etc

Thanks for the reply anyhow.

 

kool kool

I mean you might want it for BNC but if your only running a server to keep your name or for the odd bot its a bit of a waste really.

 

There are plenty of tutorials around for setting up UnrealIRCD (well, when i last set UnrealIRCD up anyway!)

 

aye ditto but the size of an ircd config file can be quite daunting for anyone ;D

This is an ircd server, the one i use and millions of people. Does linux and win32.... Easy to setup.. Good luck. I been using it for years.

 

Cheers guys! (or girls?!? you do see the odd one here sometimes!)

I'll have a hack at that unreal one and see what appears....


Thanks again
