InspIRCd with gnutls

Question

I'm receiving an error trying to setup an IRC server with InspIRCd using gnutls for SSL connections.

• Ubuntu Server 11.10 (Kernel 3.0.0-14-server)
• InspIRCd-1.1.22+Azeitao r0

The gnutls packages that are currently on the system;

dpkg --get-selections | grep gnutls
gnutls-bin                                      install
libcurl3-gnutls                                 install
libgnutls-dev                                   install
libgnutls26                                     install

inspircd.conf excerpt

Answer 1

Works for me.

Perhaps your syntax is wrong?

<bind address="10.0.0.10" port="6667" type="clients" ssl="gnutls">

<module name="m_ssl_gnutls.so"> 

<gnutls cafile="" crlfile="" certfile="/etc/inspircd/ssl.cert" keyfile="/etc/inspircd/ssl.key" dh_bits="2048">

Also, make sure you stripped your passphrase that wraps your ssl key file (so it can boot)

Answer 2

The apt packages for InspIRCd are heavily out of date and are full of bugs like the one you have encountered. It is recommended you install InspIRCd from the tarball release. The latest tarball release can be downloaded from https://github.com/danieldg/inspircd/zipball/v2.0.5
