0 Cupcakes Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Are you using CGI:IRC hosted on someone else's server and receiving that error, or is this on your own server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Asparagus Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 If you're well versed in Perl, try looking at the source code: http://github.com/dgl/cgiirc/blob/master/nph-irc.cgi#L525. Otherwise, try to read up on Unix domain sockets, that's what you're looking for. These links can start you off: http://www.wsinnovations.com/softeng/articles/uds.html http://beej.us/guide/bgipc/output/html/multipage/unixsock.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/perl/cookbook/ch17_07.htm - Specifically for Perl http://www.developerweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4605 The last link gives you a bit of a solution, it might just be that another program is using the port you're trying to connect with CGI:IRC.

0 Asparagus Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Try looking in your /tmp directory, the socket file that CGI:IRC is trying to create (but already exists) will reside there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 game_over Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 i still havent fixed this, there are 2 cgiirc directories /tmp cgiirc-2l5d56no7jmh/ cgiirc-ruco8xott/ i typed rm -r -f cgiirc-* which deleted the directories, tried to access it again and i'm not getting an error it's just constantly loading. i went in to the room via IRC client and it says the users i connect via browser are in the room.
