------------------------------------------------------------------------
ratbox-services has been successfully installed.
A sample configuration file 'ratbox-services.conf' has been created in
'%%PREFIX%%/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:
%%DOCSDIR%%/INSTALL.<database_backend>
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:
%%DBDIR%%/
The database schemas have been generated for you by the port, so this
step in the documentation will not be necessary. For example, to create
an sqlite database, you might do something like this:
cd %%DATADIR%%
sqlite3 %%DBDIR%%/ratbox-services.db < schema-sqlite.txt
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 = "<ratbox-services's server name>"; };
Once you have added ratbox_services_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, the
server can be started by running:
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/ratbox-services start
Important UPGRADE Note:
-----------------------
Upgrading to this current release will require modifications to the
services configuration file and database so everything doesn't break.
You must check the example configuration file and read the UPDATING docs
for information on how to do this before starting services.
%%DOCSDIR%%/UPDATING
Common database update tools and scripts referenced in ratbox-services
documentation can be found in:
%%DATADIR%%/
