Setup webirc

If you wish to set up a Web:IRC configuration for Mibbit, please follow the following steps.

1. Choose a WebIRC password.
   • This password should be between 6-20 alphanumeric characters. Please don't use special characters.
2. Configure your servers. How to do so is listed below for each server type.
   • IP addresses are in the section above for reference and in each IRCd specific section below.
   • Please have your settings saved and rehashed
3. Gather the following information so that you may supply it in the following step.
   • Network name
     • Will be shown in the server tab, so keep it short but meaningful. For irc.example.net could be "Example Net"
   • A list of all DNS entries that point to your network.
     • e.g., irc.blah.net, blah.com, oldname.com etc.
     • In the case that not all servers in your network are set up with WebIRC, a list of the servers with WebIRC enabled.
   • Preferred connect server or round robin and the port number (if not 6667)
     • e.g., irc.blah.net:1234 (will be used by the main client)
   • Server admin's Email address
   • Server admin's nickname on server
   • WebIRC password (maximum length 20 characters)
   • Public (yes/no)
     • Only say yes if both:
       • you have more than 50 users. No, services and bots do not count. IRC OPs do not count either.
       • you want to see your server listed in the main client's Home > IRC: dropdown list.
     • If there are reports that the Mibbit client cannot connect, once the entry is set up, then the "public" entry will be removed.
   • IRCd version
   • General description of the network
     • A tag such as "Gaming", "Support", "Politics", ect.
4. Send an email to ircstaff@mibbit.com or contact a staff member on IRC.Mibbit.net in the #help channel (if you are lucky to find an active ircop):
   • Staff member (ircop) via IRC
     • Make sure the person is a staff member (/whois). Staff members are listed in the /motd.
     • Ask if anybody is available to add a WebIRC entry.
     • If a staff member responds in the positive, send them the information gathered above via a private message.
     • Pastebin your information to save time.
     • If not, send an email. You can send an email without trying on IRC, but it is generally faster to set up through IRC.
   • Send an email.
     • The subject should include "WebIRC" and your network name. For example, "Example Net: WebIRC Configuration".
     • Send the email to ircstaff@mibbit.com.
     • Include all of the gathered information.
     • Most emails are processed within 24 hours.
5. Once your information is added to our database, we will give you a confirmation message, whether through IRC or email.
   • It takes about 15 minutes for the changes to take effect on our end.
