How to install a IRC server.

Before we do anything we must make a new user ,

Example
Code: 
adduser admin && passwd admin
Code: 
su admin
Step 1 : Login to your server via SSH and type :

Code: 
yum update
Step 2 : We need to compile some packages ~ as root user , here is the command :

Code: 
 yum install gcc-c++ compat-gcc-32 compat-gcc-32-c++
Step 3 : Once Compiled we need to get the IRC from source. We can do so by doing so by entering this command :

Code: 
wget "http://www.inspircd.org/?p=download"
Step 4 : Now we need to un-zip the archive.
Code: 
 tar xjvf InspIRCd-2.0.4.tar.bz2
Step 5 : Lets Configure the IRC server.
Code: 
cd inspircd 
./configure
Note : Keep pressing enter , As they are recommended options.

Step 6 : Once complied install the IRC
Code: 
make install
Step 7 : Once installed you should we need to correct the config file.

Go to this folder :
Code: 
cd /home/admin/inspircd/run/conf
Then replace :
Code: 
 cp inspircd.conf.example inspircd.conf
Step 8 : Now lets fix the config :

Code: 
nano inspircd.conf
Remove ANYTHING <die in front of it

Step 9 : Now we fix our opers.conf.example file/

Code: 
nano opers.conf.example
Remove the Username " Brain " and replace with your own , also remove all passwords containing "s3cret"

Once thats done you can exit out and save.

Step 10 : Run the IRC.

Code: 
cd inspircd
Code: 
./inspircd start
Then we can connect your IRC server by using your IP:6637. I suggest you use mIRC as a client. You can download it here : http://www.mirc.com/get.html
