How much load (channels, users, nicks, etc) can oer handle? 34. oer or oer+MySQL seems to disconnect from the IRC server (sign off) more often than other bots or IRC clients, why?

Q: On startup oer or oer+MySQL fails in connect(), what's wrong? (#60) Inserted/last edited by EQU <equ@equnet.org> on 2003-06-17 00:49:08
A: There could be several reasons for connect() failing. Most of the problems are related to the network configuration of your host. First you should check that the hostname returned by "hostname" is a valid one, eg. that it is resolvable at least locally and preferably also globally (DNS). The second thing that you should check is that you aren't trying to connect to a IPv6 server with a IPv4 address or visa versa. Last but not least oer and oer+MySQL have had several IPv4 <-> IPv6 interoperability bugs so be sure you are using the latest stable or testing version.
