(yeah, I tried to reply to 2 other posts of the same subject, however, I was instructed to start a new post..)
anyhow:
Hello everyone!
now, I probably will sound like a newbie here, a little.. I just ask that you read the post all-the-way through before making a quick judgement :-)
PROBLEM:
after installing services (anope 1.8.5) on a new server build (FBSD 6.3 [SMP]) and after spending hours (re)setting up that cfg file (I had to import the old one, but made a brand new one just to be "on the safe side")..
I got hit with the:
*****
[Sep 12 20:22:04 2010] Loading IRCD Protocol Module: [unreal32]
[Sep 12 20:22:04 2010] status: [11][Module Error, File I/O Error]
*****
message followed by an immediate shutdown of the anope services bot.
I have read the other posts here, which suggest running it in "debug mode" and installing it "as a standard user" and all that..
makes sense.. however, I was forced to take the actions that I have- but I did attempt to do the right things..
I could not install anope under ANY user/account except the root user.. but I also made sure to "chown" all the dirs and libs approppiately so that its "designated user" has full access to said libs and dirs/folders (including the modules, language and runtime dirs.. AND, of course, the anope base dir proper.. )
I have carefully set up the config file.. spent HOURS on that puppy to make sure it was right.. AND I designated a dedicated port, just for anope, into the ircd/configs and rebooted everything cold..
debug mode doesn't reveal anything new- in fact, theres nothing at all.. it appears anope shuts itself down before it can write any debug information!
so, I'm a little puzzled here... I did attempt re-installig it, and that didn't do anything except make a small mess on the drives (I'll clean that up later) and I also tried installing it as its designated user- with make bawking out errors and killing itself almost immediately!
(somethig about "using a POSIX shell" which POSIX is installed and DETECTED ... )
I have Icecast, UnrealIRCd, eggdrop, Perl 5.8, Libshout/p5-shout, and Apache allready on the box.. and all that installed, compiled and is operating Okay... Server is in a Datacenter/CoLo and I own it and have "full" root.. The box is a 4-core xeon CPU 2.8 Ghz with 2 gigs ram and 600 Gigs of hard drive space (which is mostly empty)
so, I'm a tad puzzled as to why this is not working.. I followed the steps to the best I can..
oh! I should mention, orginally, I had anope 1.6.2 on there.. why? dumb ports weren't updated! I gave up on the ports and came HERE and got the latest; v1.6.2 DID install without any problems.. however, its really "broken"; example, typing /nickserv help" gives out a bit of garbage (like "you are now a member of %d%s group" ) instead of giving the help screens (like it should)
and, though the databases DID load.. it seems "unresponsive" to possable new users). I felt it was "damaged" and decided to go for the latest (which seems to be v1.8.5...)
so, there ya have it :) if I seem a little "testy", I apologize.. I'm just very flustered at the thing at the moment..
I've used anope for years.. and always had SOME kind of odd/small issue with installing it.. but this ones got me stumped!
any help would be appreciated!

this issue has been corrected- it was caused by trying to untar the package on the root dir (/) and the kernel security not allowing it to be modified once it was laid down
for anope, you MUST create a "lower" dir off root.. and then untar it there.. (example: /test/anope-1.8.5/) do not attempt "/anope-1.8.5" as thats what I was doing!"
thanks to the gang in the IRC chatroom for all their help and helping me to track this issue down.
(now to solve the OTHER problems!)
