Bug Description
After installing anope (2.0.4-2) on Ubuntu 18.04 and starting the service with systemctl it reports the service as active. However the daemon is not launched. The following log messages are however visible in syslog:
Nov 30 09:15:00 the systemd[1]: Starting LSB: A set of IRC Services...
Nov 30 09:15:00 the systemd[1]: Started LSB: A set of IRC Services.
After investigation of the init.d script it seems it reads from this default file which contains a flag to prevent starting the service:
/etc/default/anope
https:/
However there is no message anywhere that this is required. This version of the Debian package includes a message in the init script. Ideally the Ubuntu package would include something similar to provide feedback about why the service was not started.
If this is an acceptable solution I am happy to open a PR with the fix?
Hi Ben,
Thanks for reporting this; I agree that it makes for a lot of confusion! We'd happily accept a merge request with a fix, thanks!
