rename the example.conf to services.conf and place it in the data folder in youre anope directory, in the data directory you will find a copy of example.conf, use that, also use the ip of 127.0.0.1, because you should run anope and the ircd server on the same machine, and 127.0.0.1 is you're local ip address, it is pretty straight forward, doing the config file, just give the data that is recommended and required, and avoid alot of the optional stuff untill you know what you are doing
