New to EggDrop, won't connect to IRC or something.

[Ecoste]

Hello, I'm new to IRC and to EggDrop and for some reason it will not connect to FreeNode. I can't connect to it via TelNet either for some reason.(telnet 127.0.0.1 3333)

# This is a sample configuration file for your bot.  You will definitely
# want to edit this, to set up your bot.  Right now it creates a bot called
# "LamestBot" which sits on channel #lamest.
#
# more options can be found in files in doc/settings/
#
# IMPORTANT: Remember to make install and cd to the directory it created
# (~/eggdrop by default) before you continue, running the bot from
# eggdrop1.6.x/ will not work.
#
# PLEASE EDIT THIS FILE COMPLETELY! YOUR BOT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF
# YOU DO NOT CONFIGURE IT CORRECTLY! WE CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!

# don't edit those 9 lines now!!

I got eggdrop via apt-get install and edited the simple config file. Here's the output from my shell.

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type:  /msg NiceBot hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

[18:55] === NiceBot: 2 channels, 0 users.
I detect NiceBot already running from this directory.
If this is incorrect, erase the 'pid.NiceBot'

When I installed it at first it didn't work, the files weren't in the right place. So I also did.

ln -s /usr/lib/eggdrop/modules /home/youruser/modules
ln -s /usr/share/eggdrop/scripts /home/youruser/scripts

Try run the eggdrop in debug mode using command

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -n config

And then see there what message you get when the bot is trying to connect to that specified server.

And then I make the conf and run the same command and it gives me the same error.

[Hero]

Try This Command

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf

[Ecoste]

Did already a couple o' times.

[Madalin]

Use

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -n -m config

There you will see what error you get when the bot is trying to connect

[Ecoste]

Use

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -n -m config

There you will see what error you get when the bot is trying to connect

Hmm, not it worked for some reason. Thanks guys, don't know what the problem was, but it suddenly worked with this command.

[Madalin]

Starting the bot with -n option will let the bot run but if you close the exit the shell account the bot will die. So start the eggdrop without -n option. That is only for debug (to see whats wrong with the eggdrop why hes not connecting)

[nml375]

This is a known issue for this antique eggdrop. If threaded tcl-libraries are not properly detected, your eggdrop will not be able to fork() into background, meaning it will work perfectly fine when using any of "interactive" options (-n, -nt, etc), but not when you try to launch it into background.

More details here: http://eggwiki.org/Bugs/Threaded_Tcl

[darksis]

listen if you run your bot from linux then you only need write

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -m

more something you need fix more your Eggdrop.conf its not really very well!!

[Johannes13]

The problem is that you use eggdrop 1.6.19.

See this.

I suggest switching to either 1.6.20 or 1.8.0

[nml375]

Sorry, I usually don't drop to this level (but it'd vacation)...
Johannes13, I've already provided that link two posts up. If you are going to use a descriptive link-text rather than showing the actual URL itself, use something better than "this". All in all, your post provided no new information to the thread, and is just post-farming...
