Title: 1.7.23 NickServ Issue
Post by: illusion on October 06, 2008, 10:33:54 AM
I've just installed Anope 1.7.23, and imported our nick.db

Our problem now is, whenever anyone attempts to identify for their nickname, are greeted with -NickServ- Password incorrect.

I haven't had any prior problems upgrading until now. Encryption module is enc_old

Any ideas?


Found the problem, should've read the changelog.  :-\

Unfortunately, we encountered some problems with the way in which Chanserv & Nickserv are storing passwords which has led us to make a sad but needed decision to break the long time standing backwards database compatibility with versions prior to this one. - This means that once you have upgraded to 1.7.23 (or any SVN build after revision 1462) you will be unable to go back.

Please make sure you take a back up prior to upgrading just in case you do need to revert!

We cannot stress the importance of this advice, and assure you it was with a heavy heart we broke the compatibility and not a decision we took lightly.

you should still be able to use a .22 database with .23...  it is the other way that doesn't work.

fuck... i can't believe no1 noticed this...
anope will fuck up any non enc_none database when it updates it from a pre-.23 format to the .23 format..
the fix is easy, but i need some1 with sf access before it can be published..

re-download and re-install anope 1.7.23b.. make sure to start anope with a database backup from before you used .23 !!!
