yeah an while you are at it could you design me my own personal website? oh yeah an i could do with a brew... chop chop

[Sidders]

But not the chatroom on the site.

[superwoman]

see its all good saying go to the chatroom but that meant nothing to me and i still cant access it!

[ASG]

Great innnit? Are you looking in the right place now?

[Sidders]

You could run an IRC server on port 80 without too much trouble.

Why not do something to the chatroom on the site so it uses port 80 then? That's probably not possible is it? You know more about it than me.

[David]

all you need is a host that isnt running a webserver

let me look into it. I am running an ircd for a network, the server its on has a few spare ip's - maybe one of them isnt running a webserver.

[Sidders]

Nice one Dave.

[David]

right it cant be run on port 80 as thats reserved for root, super user, so the irc server would have to be run as root.

But - the host suggested port 8080 to run the server on. Would your university block that port?

[Sidders]

I don't know, I'll find out.

[David]

its usuallay a web proxy port, so they may not. I'll get the server running on port 8080 and see what happens.

[Sidders]

Well just tried it on mIRC and it says connection refused.

[David]

so that may work then. I havnt got a server setup yet on port 8080 - but if it worked it would mean having to move #radio1 over to my server.

[Sidders]

I've already found one I can use which was found here: http://cgiirc.blitzed.org/irc.cgi if that helps anything.

[Chris]

so that may work then. I havnt got a server setup yet on port 8080 - but if it worked it would mean having to move #radio1 over to my server.

Which is preferable anyway, as some random person is currently controlling the channel and nobody has OP privs any longer.

see if that works for you.

[David]

oh - for mirc users 193.201.70.60:8080

[kendra k]

what now? i tried your site, and it wasn't loading. the current site is okay. it's cos i'm at work though.

[David]

Do you use mirc?

/server moyleschat.drlnet.co.uk:8080
/join #radio1

Well actually - if you use mirc normally on port 6667 then

/server irc.drlnet.co.uk:6667
/join #radio1

will work.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

chris can you put this somewhere so dont keep forgetting an have to look up this topic?

[Sidders]

Nope.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

[Sidders]

i hope more people begin to use it as i would welcome the multiplication of my friends

Well if someone would set one up that actually works...

[kendra k]

[timb]
