I get the error: "please make sure you edit your config file completely" when i type

./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf

I made sure I removed the 2 lines where it starts with die and made sure all the directories in "" exists" followed by a / ie "tmp/"

I double checked the file at least 6 times, commenting out the lines pertaining to the modules that was commented out. I don't know what to do now. Please help. I edited the eggdrop.conf in windows using wordpad and transfered to the shell account via a ftp program. Thanks in advance.

well it must be a line that says die "....." check if you've loaded any script which executes this command, or recheck in your .conf file. you'd never know what you're missing.

I got it working, i uncommented the source scripts/script.tcl line then commented it and it worked. Weird, the file doesn't exists so uncommenting it should do no harm.

If i understand you right it warked after you put a # infront of source scripts/scripts.tcl and the bot started, and this script don't exist?
Well, no wonder the bot crashed, it tried to load a not existing script.
Missing scripts, misstyped script names in the source scripts part and even mistakes in the loaded scripts might prevent the bot from starting.

nope, that line was commented when it wasn't working. I uncommented it, tried to run eggdrop, then commented it, fiinally uncommented and it works.
