Title: Help with socketengine on anope 1.8
Post by: Ethan Carr on February 20, 2011, 07:25:25 PM

Hello, I was creating my Services.conf file when this nasty little error decided to work its way in. I don't know what a socket engine is, or what value to enter, so if somebody could tell me what I could set (On Windows 7) to make it work. I thought it would be winsock32, but I decided to wait, because all of the 23 different things I tried failed miserably.

Sure you're not using 1.9?

Actually, I may be using 1.9, I do not know.
The error is as follows:
Unable to load socket engine winsock32

Tried right click run as administrator?

Windows vista/7 is annoying for this security stuff.

Thank you for that.
and yes, I always do Run as Administrator...
I think i just put in an incorrect socket engine value, will somebody look in their Services.conf and tell me what theirs is? (Under options)

19:52 <@Adam> chaz that guy is using 1.9 and he needs to put m_socketengine_select in the config

The example config gives you the valid options for socketengine, you should start there

@Jeremy: I take it that means re-install Anope?

No? just edit the services.conf like I said above.

I figured it out:
I had the right value, no quotes.
