My error log file keeps getting bigger and bigger, but there is only one error in it. This error is:

srvc 0000 IRC !JavaScript /var/opt/SBBS/exec/ircd.js line 857 Error: can't convert port to an integer

I never messaged with that *.js file and my IRC stuff works fine on my BBS. I looked at the line with a editor just to see if it was something I could fix or figure out.

Here's the line in the ircd.js that's in the error log:

if(!newsock.bind(port,server.interface_ip_address)) {
log(LOG_ERR,"!Error "+newsock.error + " binding socket to TCP port "
+ port);
return 0;

Any ideas?

Thanks

Looks like a problem with one of your P:Lines in your ctrl/ircd.conf file. It needs to be a decimal integer number.

BBS. I looked at the line with a editor just to see if it was something I could fix or figure out.

Line 857 is part of the create_new_socket function, which is called from two other places in that script.

The most likely cause is a bad M line near the top of your ircd.conf. You must have one (and only one) uncommented M line. Here's the default line that you should have:

M:SYSTEM_QWKID.synchro.net:*:SYSTEM_NAME:6667

Or you've uncommented one of the P lines and there's a problem with that.

Or you're running the ircd from jsexec and providing an invalid -p argument.

file. It needs to be a decimal integer number.

FWIW: the P lines are commented out in the default ircd.conf... i've not uncommented them preferring to work with just the one default 6667 port... the P lines are used to define additional ports your ircd is listening on... if you only use port 6667 for ircd, then you don't need to uncomment them at all...

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I don't think I messed with that file at all. I just used the default.


Thank you for the help

I was thinking it was my services.ini file too. I looked there before I asked for help, and that looked good. I think I found the problem. there was a "P" that was uncommented that I think should have been commented. I'll know here in a few. I JUST fixed it, now I'm gonna re-roll Synchronet to see if it adds any more entries into the error.log

thanks!

Or you're running the ircd from jsexec and providing an invalid -p argument.

I don't remember messing with that file, but the M line was good. the P lines had 3 things uncommented. the one that was uncomment was like P:*:*:*:port I commented that line. I wonder if I did that my mistake. the other 2 lines have actual ports listed.

The ircd isn't normally enabled by default. You did something to enable it?

I must have, and have NO idea why or when, but since I unconmented the line that didn't have a actual number, the error is gone. :)

I am having a file-listing issue now. I'll post more about it after I try a few more things to see if I can fix it myself. Been having a issue with Synchro showing whole areas as being offline in the file list (has the '-' next to the file). even though the file is in the directory, and in scfg points to the right folder. which I don't get. it imports the files.bbs in that folder, so I don't get how it's showing the entire file area as being offline.
