How to: Compile a ShroudBNC on a Phoenix Shell

First of all, you'll need to login to your shell. I'll assume you know how to do that.

If you want an automated installer, get it here http://users.phoenix-network.org/~bug/tutorials/sbnc.sh

sh sbnc.sh PORT Replace the port with the web access port.

Now that you are logged in, grab the latest version of sbnc at:

• sBNC-Current [1.1] for the time of writing.
• sBNC internet acess.

So get them using wget:

wget http://mirror.shroudbnc.info/sbnc-current.tar.gz
wget http://mirror.shroudbnc.info/sbnc-iface.tar.gz

Now, that you got the files, you should extract them using the tar command:

tar -zxf sbnc-current.tar.gz
tar -zxf sbnc-iface.tar.gz

We will handle the Internet Access [iFace / Webifi] later on.

Now, to the installing:

cd sbnc-1.1 or whatever version you got.
./configure

It will write a lot of nonsense.

Now that this is done, we should install it, so type these:

make
make install

Since we want the web access enabled, we should install tcl support. You'll see a lot of nonsense in the proccess, just like before.

cd tickle
./configure
make
make install

Now, we are ready to configure our sBNC and start using it!

cd ~/sbnc [Leads to the place where sbnc was installed without asking you].
./conftool

sBNC will now as you a few questions, just answer them as you wish:

Port: The port you'll connect to, I used 34543 here.
Name: The name of the BNC user, I used 'bug' here.
Password: Guess....

Before we will run it, we should get the Webifi working for this. You will need to copy the /scripts from the webifi you extracted into your sBNC scripts like this:

cp ~/webifc/scripts/* ~/sbnc/scripts/

Next, you'll need to go to the scripts folder [The one of sbnc] and edit iface.tcl, you can use Vim / Nano. Nano is easyer so I used it to explain, even though I use vim by myself.

nano ~/sbnc/scripts/iface.tcl

Change the port there to anything you want, it will be used for the internet access communication, remember it for later use. I changed it to 34544.

One more file to edit, which is: sbc.tcl:

nano ~/sbnc/sbnc.tcl<

Just add in the end of the line this and save:

source "scripts/iface.tcl"

Do Ctrl+X to exit and when it asks if to save say, yes with the same name [Just enter]. Now, we should move the web access folder, to a place it'll be accessable and configure it.

cd ~
mkdir public_html [For making web pages on phoenix].
mv webifc/ public_html/ [Moves the webifc to an accessable place].
cd public_html/webifc/
nano config.php

Change the port to what you used [I used 34544] and save. After that, go back to your sbnc folder and run sbnc.

cd ~/sbnc
./sbnc

Your SBNC is now running!

Next, we need to enable your Web Panel, so grab your IRC client [mIRC / xChat / Irssi?] and login to infinity.phoenix-hosting.org:port [34543 for me]. With a command like this [Change it to fit you]:

/server infinity.phoenix-hosting.org 34543 password -i user

It will login and you'll get a private message from your BNC:

<-sBNC> You haven't set a server yet. Use /sbnc set server <Hostname> <Port> to do that now.

Now you need to configure the server, so use this command [or PM to the sBNC without the /sbnc]:

/sbnc set server irc.swiftirc.net 6667 OR /msg -sBNC set server irc.swiftirc.net 6667
