problems after installing everything

[asbjotve]

I have installed and configured everything.. and run the commando "./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf" normally should that make a userfile.... and after that can i use "./eggdrop eggdrop.conf" but it does not work for me and the bot is never come to irc.

anyone who want to help me?

You state you have used the -m option.

There is no need to kill the bot after doing this. As soon as the bot has created it's first user-record, it will turn this mode off.

While in this mode though, does the bot come on IRC?

Boyond this, there are a few other things you can try.

Try starting the bot using the -n option.

This will turn the shell into a version of the partyline. It will dispaly any error messages from the server, including any banning information.

When i use ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.con that should make userlist.. but that file... my bot don`t make...
here is what i get if i try ./eggdrop -n eggdrop.simple.conf

[ppslim]

You can use multiple options.

IE, use -mn

[asbjotve]

now... i have try everything.. and now it nearly work... but what can i do if i get a "permission denied" message when i tried to connect to the actually server? are there something i can change on... to get in?

[Weirdo]

this sounds familiar

[ppslim]

Yes, very familar in many respects.

Lack of exact error message and the symptoms of he has discribed.

Allthough you can get on a IRC server from your computer, using IspA, that does not eman to say the machine from which your bot is on can.

Many IRC networks and server refuse to allow eggdrops on them. Even those that do, you need to follow the guidelines as set in the MOTD (failure to can result in a ban on all servers, including those that do allow them).

As such, you need to add more server to your server list, and/or contact the IRC admin, and find out if he will allow your bot on.
