Summary0004691: ircd.motd cannot be found/read when specified in the files block
DescriptionI'm having this issue, that it says this on every rehash:

Loading IRCd configuration..
[warning] [installpath]/conf/unrealircd.conf:642: files::motd: ircd.motd: No such file or directory
Configuration loaded without any problems.

However, the file exists, and the /addmotd command even writes to the correct file; yet, rehash complains about it.
Steps To ReproduceAdd the relevant entry in unrealircd.conf:

files
{
        motd ircd.motd;
}

Comment out / remove any tld-blocks, if necessary.

Rehash.
Additional InformationBy commenting out the entire files-block, I was able to get UnrealIRCd to load the ircd.motd file.
TagsNo tags attached.

Funny enough, U4 does not have the files{} block in its default configuration file, I converted mine from U3 into U4 and it copied the files{} block without any issues, and the defaults I set in said files{} block works perfectly.

My files block is as follows and works perfect in U4:

files
{
    motd motd.txt;
        #shortmotd motd-short.txt;
    opermotd motd-oper.txt;
    botmotd motd-bot.txt;
    rules motd-rules.txt;
};

kwe: where did you put your ircd.motd exactly? (on the filesystem)

syzop: Next to the unrealircd.conf.
As in, the warning says "[installpath]/conf/unrealircd.conf", the motd file is at "[installpath]/conf/ircd.motd".

Ok I tried to reproduce your issue...
Funny. I see the error message about ircd.motd but the MOTD is read correctly (seen on IRC) :D

I've updated the subject, as it turns out it's working and just a confusing error message. I know why.. will fix later ;)

That's not entirely correct, though. The MOTD didn't show up, it just said that the MOTD is missing, even when manually using the /motd command.

Apologies, I had a tld block which confused things (made it work). Subject changed back.
