37 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# CONFIGURATION FORMAT #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-
39 # In order to maintain compatibility with older configuration files, #
40 # you can change the configuration parser to parse as it did in #
41 # previous releases. When using the "compat" format, you need to use #
42 # C++ escape sequences (e.g. \n) instead of XML ones (e.g. &nl;) and #
43 # can not use <define> to create macros. #
44 #<config format="compat">
46 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# INCLUDE CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
48 # This optional tag allows you to include another config file #
49 # allowing you to keep your configuration tidy. The configuration #
50 # file you include will be treated as part of the configuration file #
51 # which includes it, in simple terms the inclusion is transparent. #
53 # All paths to config files are relative to the directory that the #
56 # You may also include an executable file, in which case if you do so #
57 # the output of the executable on the standard output will be added #
58 # to your config at the point of the include tag. #
60 # Syntax is as follows: #
61 #<include file="file.conf"> #

63 #<include executable="/path/to/executable parameters"> #

70 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# VARIABLE DEFINITIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
72 # You can define variables that will be substituted later in the #
73 # configuration file. This can be useful to allow settings to be #
74 # easily changed, or to parameterize a remote includes. #
76 # Variables may be redefined and may reference other variables. #

134 # If you want to link servers to InspIRCd you must load the #
135 # spanningtree module! Please see the modules list for #
136 # information on how to load this module! If you do not load this #
137 # module, server ports will NOT work! #
139 # Listener that binds on a TCP/IP endpoint:
141 # address: IP address to bind to if the box that you are hosting
142 # on has more than one IP, else the ircd will try to bind to all
143 # IP's on the box if this is not defined.
146 # port: Port for users or servers to be able to connect to.
147 # you can select multiple ports by separating them
148 # with a - character like the example below.
151 # type: Type of bind block this is. It can either be clients or
152 # servers. Whichever you select will be the only type able to connect
153 # to this bind section.
156 # ssl: If you want the port(s) in this bind tag to use SSL, set this to
157 # the name of a custom <sslprofile> tag that you have defined or one
158 # of "openssl", "gnutls", "mbedtls" if you have not defined any. See the
159 # docs page for the SSL module you are using for more details.
161 # You will need to load the ssl_openssl module for OpenSSL, ssl_gnutls
162 # for GnuTLS and ssl_mbedtls for mbedTLS.
165 # defer: When this is non-zero, connections will not be handed over to
166 # the daemon from the operating system before data is ready.
167 # In Linux, the value indicates the time period we'll wait for a
168 # connection to come up with data. Don't set it too low!
169 # In BSD the value is ignored; only zero and non-zero is possible.
170 # Windows ignores this parameter completely.
171 # Note: This does not take effect on rehash.
172 # To change it on a running bind, you'll have to comment it out,
173 # rehash, comment it in and rehash again.
176 # free: When this is enabled the listener will be created regardless of
177 # whether the interface that provides the bind address is available. This
178 # is useful for if you are starting InspIRCd on boot when the server may
179 # not have brought the network interfaces up yet.
182 # Listener that binds on a UNIX endpoint (not supported on Windows):
185 # path: The location to store the UNIX socket
186 #path="/tmp/inspircd.sock"
188 # type: Type of bind block this is. It can either be clients or
189 # servers. Whichever you select will be the only type able to connect
190 # to this bind section.
193 # permissions: The octal permissions to set on the UNIX socket after it has
194 # been created. If you are not familiar with octal permissions you should
195 # not define this or refer to http://permissions-calculator.org for help.
198 # replace: if the UNIX socket path already exists then remove it before
199 # attempting to create the new one. This is strongly recommended as it
200 # allows InspIRCd to create sockets in cases where it previously did not
201 # shut down cleanly and left a zombie socket behind.

232 # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. #
233 # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all #
234 # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. #
236 # -- It is important to note that connect tags are read from the -- #
237 # TOP DOWN. This means that you should have more specific deny #
238 # and allow tags at the top, progressively more general, followed #
239 # by a <connect allow="*"> (should you wish to have one). #
241 # Connect blocks are searched twice for each user - once when the TCP #
242 # connection is accepted, and once when the user completes their #
243 # registration. Most of the information (hostname, ident response, #
244 # password, SSL when using STARTTLS, etc) is only available during #
245 # the second search, so if you are trying to make a closed server, #
246 # you will probably need a connect block just for user registration. #

844 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
846 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #
848 # The highest safe value you can set any of these options to is 500, #

850 # near their defaults (or lower). #
853 # maxnick: Maximum length of a nickname.

896 # Logging is covered with the <log> tag, which you may use to change
897 # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd.
899 # An example log tag would be:
900 # <log method="file" type="OPER" level="default" target="opers.log">
901 # which would log all information on /OPER (failed and successful) to
902 # a file called opers.log.
904 # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may
905 # generate their own. A list of useful types:
906 # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection
907 # - OPER - succesful and failed oper attempts
908 # - KILL - kill related messages
909 # - FILTER - messages related to filter matches (filter module)
910 # - CONFIG - configuration related messages
911 # - COMMAND - die and restart messages, and messages related to unknown user types
912 # - SOCKET - socket engine informational/error messages
913 # - MODULE - module related messages
914 # - STARTUP - messages related to starting up the server
916 # You may also log *everything* by using a type of *, and subtract things out
917 # of that by using -TYPE - for example "* -USERINPUT -USEROUTPUT".
920 # - default (general messages, including errors)
921 # - sparse (misc error messages)
922 # - debug (debug messages)
924 # Some types only produce output in the debug level, those are:
925 # - BANCACHE - ban cache debug messages
926 # - CHANNELS - information relating to joining/creating channels
927 # - CULLLIST - debug messages related to issues with removing users
928 # - RESOLVER - DNS related debug messages
929 # - CONNECTCLASS - Connection class debug messages
933 # If your server is producing a high levels of log messages you can also set the
934 # flush="[positive number]" attribute to specify how many log messages should be
935 # buffered before flushing to disk. You should probably not specify this unless
936 # you are having problems.
