CONFIG FILE NOT FOUND OR ERROR

[Wolfe]

I am getting an error when I try to run the bot...

It appears to be a directory error in line 1 of the eggdrop.conf file which is suppose to be:

/home/Wolfe/eggdrop

I have compiled the file correctly i believe. I am running Redhat (linux) kernal 8.0 with all current updates

The make/makefile went smoothly. gcc no problems, I have run windrop before the switch to linux, and for the life of me cann't figure out what I did wrong.

you may need to give more info...

did you execute the command
./eggdrop conf -m
?

what is makefile ?

Yes... tried running in terminal via every which way from sunday...


Make and Makefile is an install process for sending it to shell under linux. No errors.

I've even set this up under root to see if it was a security issue hidden in writing the logs or whatever. Same error.

I went over every line of code in the config file to make sure that the directory was correct in each referance. Then ran the make again from scratch. I still get an error which says config file not found, and referance to an error in line 1. Whiich is the directory where it is installed.

Make me wanna go grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

check first line off .conf
#!/path/to/eggdrop
no trailing slash or anything ??
../eggdrop should be where the eggy binary recides

#!/path/to/eggdrop

../eggdrop should be where the eggy binary recides

First set of config code is:

/home/Wolfe/eggdrop
#
#! /path/to/executable/eggdrop
# ^- This should contain a fully qualified path to your Eggdrop executable.

This is the right folder.

I am missing something basic here?

1st of all, did you make a config and started with ./eggdrop -m nameofthe.conf ?

2nd, pls try to change the dir name to ~/eggdrop/youroptions in he 1st line ?

did the trick for me

Keep the "#!" in front of it, just like the example is.

I haven't changed the "#! /path/to/executable/eggdrop" and my eggdrops are working fine.

[user]

he removed the #! part of the first line it seems

I was thinking that might be it's problem but didn't darred to tell that.
