Hi everybody!
I explain my case shortly. I own two Windows 2003 servers running VMware 1.0.1 for Windows.
I have the same virtual machine which has FreeBSD 6.1 with Unreal 3.2 and Anope 1.7.17 services running.
Ok, when I start the same virtual machine (copying previously the physical files on the drive) and I boot it, everything goes OK. This means that the FreeBSD virtual box boots with no errors, as like as the Unrealircd, the Anope services and the MySQL engine too.
The problem becomes when I copy the same physical files corresponding to the virtual machine on another Windows 2003 server and I boot it: Everything goes aparently fine. FreeBSD 6.1 boots, Unreal boots with NO ERROR, MySQL engine too, but Anope does not!!!
So, I've revised my config file and without touching it in a VMware server works and on another it doesn't (and the files are in each case the same, because I move them from one Windows server into another, so the corruption hypothesis is discarded).
I have downloaded several times the original tarball and compiled it separately in each VMware server and in one of the servers works and on the another it doesn't (even if the compilation of Anope on this another server was successful). So, you halt the virtual machine and you copy into the another VMware host and Anope works perfectly without having to make any modification into the FreeBSD operating system, or Unreal and Anope configuration files.
It is unbelievable, I know. For that reason, I attach you my "-debug -nofork" output log (This Anope installation has been performed 60 mins ago before writing this post, and it doesn't works even if the SQL structure is properly created at the MySQL database). I can assure you that if I stop this virtual machine and I boot it from another Windows server with WMware for Windows installed, it will probably boot the Anope IRC Services without having to modify any .conf file...
For concluding, I have converted the Virtual Machine into a physical machine (this means that all is at this moment running into a free, physical and standalone FreeBSD server) and the result is the same: Anope services only runs in one VMware host. In despite of, all other daemons and FreeBSD services run perfectly, except Anope.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much in advance.
Best regards and Merry Christmas!!
