How To Make a IRC Server


What is a IRC : An IRC is a Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet text messaging (chat)

How to install a IRC server.

Before we do anything we must make a new user ,

Example

adduser admin && passwd admin

su admin

Step 1 : Login to your server via SSH and type :

yum update

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

 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 :

wget "http://www.inspircd.org/?p=download"

Step 4 : Now we need to un-zip the archive.

 tar xjvf InspIRCd-2.0.4.tar.bz2

Step 5 : Lets Configure the IRC server.

cd inspircd 
./configure

Note : Keep pressing enter , As they are recommended options.

Step 6 : Once complied install the IRC

make install

Step 7 : Once installed you should we need to correct the config file.

Go to this folder :

cd /home/admin/inspircd/run/conf

Then replace :

 cp inspircd.conf.example inspircd.conf

Step 8 : Now lets fix the config :

nano inspircd.conf

Remove ANYTHING <die in front of it

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

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.

cd inspircd

./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

Personally, I'd go with Unreal IRCd (http://www.unrealircd.com/). Its probably much harder to setup but is undoubtedly better than Inspirc. Most trackers use it.

Ill create a tut for Unreal IRCd , This was for personal use not BotNet's or Trackers

Hi Domenic,

Thank you for your nice work for us, i really appreciate this. but please do not make video because we learner want commands in text which we can read and recomend. in video its imposible to see all commands and process. so kindly do not wast the time in video making than uploading. just consider on publishing like this.

Thanks
