neostats and services

guest · Guest

I was wondering if services and neostats can run on the same server and if it would clash with services. Does neostats have to have its own server to function? appriciate your help ....

Yes, services and neostats can be run on the same IRCd, they wont clash. All you need to do is configure neostats to run on say stats.<your server name>.com, and add a link block for stats.<whatever>.com in your conf file. Make sure all the ports and passwords are the same, then run neostats. They should connect.

I don't think this is possible - however there may be modules for Anope Services which have similar features to NeoStats.

Yes, you can easily run both anope and neostats on the same network.
Yes, you can also make the clients for both programs appear to come from services.your.net - if you want to, you have to configure each seperately to use that vhost for its clients however.

There are some things you should never do when you use both, however.
For example, if you set them both to use privmsg to communicate with users, they can accidentally msg each other at maximum speed with "command .... not found.. msg me help for a list" type lines. This will cause large splits / lag / problems on your net.
Also, Anope may deop neostats clients that don't id with nickserv........ this is to be expected.
Also, be aware that you must set neostats not to proxycheck anope's clients...

Services and Anope/IRCServices can run from the same host server, but they can't have the same server name on your network. They can however give their clients the same vhost.

NeoStats has to link as a server, just as Anope/IRCServices has to link as a server. But you can't link them using the same server name. You can however link them when they are running on the same physical machine.

Lastly, please stop using the word 'services'....... Neostats calls itself a 'services' package too, and it gets confusing. Say "Anope", "IRCServices", "NeoStats", etc.

Oh, and the single most important bit of advice : RTFM!

hope this helps.
