eggdrop runs, but doesn't connect?

Post by indigo »

i am just beginning as an eggdrop user, and so far it was quite boring reading through the config and help files, but i managed ;) but i thought i had configured the bot perfectly, but it seems this isn't entirely true...

when i run my eggdrop by typing ./eggdrop-1.6.15 -m indibot.conf (that's the name of the config file) it displays no errors, and says it is running in the background... so far so good, but then i connect to irc.quakenet.org and try to talk to my bot which should have connected, but it doesn't ... the LOGS directory is empty, so no help there (except for when i manually terminate the bot, then a log is written describing that)

does anyone know what is wrong?

Check these lines in your conf file:
set servers {
}
and:
# What is your network?
# 0 = EFnet (non +e/+I Hybrid)
# 1 = IRCnet
# 2 = Undernet
# 3 = DALnet
# 4 = +e/+I Hybrid
# 5 = Others
set net-type 5

Should be:

Code: Select all

set servers { 
  irc.quakenet.org:6667 
}

Doesn't matter if you use irc.quakenet.org or irc.quakenet.org:6667.

It's not the Problem of your Server on all my root servers my eggdrops can only connect to the Ips.
I hope Quakenet will fix it soon.
When you entered an Ip add more than one, Because Quakenets Servers are not very stable.

Code: Select all

(21:19:32)     —› dns: resolving (irc.quakenet.org)...
(21:19:32)     —› dns: resolved (irc.quakenet.org) to (194.159.164.211) (press F2 to copy to clipboard)
