I spent literally weeks banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to make the old Reddit codebase work by myself

I've been there!

it was hugely important to have my IP pointed to reddit.local

Yeah that's part of the dev machine setup, where you modify your hosts file, but now with your real domain name DNS can find it normally.

I'm reinstalling all the chat features to try to change all the reddit.local's ... and now when I run ./unrealircd start I get "is a directory" I reinstalled unrealircd and running ./unrealircd start worked but gave me an error on line 244

So I carefully fixed it, then ran ./unrealircd start again, and got "is a directory" again. (???)

So this pastebin shows the only section I changed during all this. Can you see an error or what I did wrong here?

What directory are you in when starting it? ./ Means the current directory, so you have to be in the right place before starting.

If you consistently get the line 244 error then we can work on it.
