HI

My Hudlite server stopped allowing clients to connect a while ago and I have followed every thread to try and get it working to no avail until today.

I started running hudlite in debug mode

./hudlite-server -debug2

When I noticed it fail to connect to IRC

Unable to connect to IRC. Try again in 3 sec.

This was really strange as a netstat -a showed IRC running on 6600.

I telneted to localhost and 127.0.01 on 6600 and confirmed the port was open and I got IDENT messages back.

I then double checked the connect.xml file and everything looked good.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION..........

Change Localhost in connect.xml to 127.0.0.1 as below and restart hudlite. Problem Sovled !

<host>127.0.0.1</host>

WEIRD !!

Please post feedback as to whether this works for you if you have tried everything else suggested.

Best Wishes

Same problem

@pdqcomputer
/usr/local/fonality/hud/hudlite-server -debug2

@lwcweb
I had the same problem and it was off of a fresh install. Turned out that the yum install didn't autostart the ircd so I had to 'service ircd start' to get it working.

@pdqcomputer
/usr/local/fonality/hud/conf/connect.xml

@CircaLucid

Our IRCD was running on localhost but as I explained the connect file didnt work when set to localhost. 127.0.0.1 worked for us.

Seems that maybe the client DNS wasnt working although I could ping localhost from the console and get a resolution via SSH.

Best Wishes

Thanks

That fixed my problem to. I had one user connecting with no problems but another just kept getting login timeout errors.

just changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 in /usr/local/fonality/hud/conf/connect.xml
ran service hudlite-server restart
and restarted my hudlite on my workstation and everything seems to be back.

127.0.0.1 is your loopback address

You should never have to hard code the loopback address. Did you change your /etc/hosts file?

Steps to check for localhost...

1 - ping localhost - Does it resolve to 172.0.0.1
2 - ifconfig check that loopback interface exists
3 - check /etc/hosts
