I had the exact same eggdrop setting on my previous Redhat 7.1 server, and now I moved to a 7.2 but with a very similar setup and I can't login to my bot via "/ctcp botname chat" as I did and I can't neither request info from tcl scripts on our irc chanel as I used too.

Something that seems strange to me is that (127.0.0.1), doesn't seem normal to me, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about IRC and linux as I'm pretty new to all this. Anyone can help?

Thanks!

You need to set the value of my-ip in the config file.

Well, I use the simple config file and there's no such option. It was working on my first server without specifying this, may I switch to the advance config, would it change anything?

The differances between simple, advanced and complete are only that of the content.

"simple", "advanced" and "complete" are just words. Eggdrop does no differentiate between them.

All the settings in the config file, have a default value, so that should they be missing from the config, they are used.

You can simply add the my-ip and my-hostname variables to your existing config file.
