Problem with starting eggdrop after installtation

Post by bcom »

Hi,
ive just installed eggdrop 1.6.16 on my linux-server. after the installation i edited the eggdrop.conf and then tried to start eggdrop with ./eggdrop -m myconfig.config . But it says [11:49] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR) . When i tried an unedited eggdrop.conf it said the same, so i don't think i made wrong entries in the eggdrop.conf. Right filepermissions are set. I hope someone can help me.

my os is suse-linux-prof. The server is an amd-duron 700 mhz. I compilied eggdrop with standart settings(typed in ./configure, make config, make, make install, and so eggdrop was installed in my home directory. Then I edited the configfile a bit and tried to start. What had happened when I tried to start, you see in my post on top.

Well, only way i can help you is to tell you that you have an error in your config file.

You need to check double check your config file. It seems that you removed to "die" lines, but still you have errors. Check modules and TCLs.

But I always point out the obvious, are the executable and the config file in the same directory? They need to be or egg will not find it. hehe I spun my wheels on this one for about 30 minutes then slapped myself when I realized how simple it was. :D
The key to finding the answer is completely understanding the question.

yes, they are. The installer put it in the same directory, so I let them there

[11:49] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)
The configuration file is attempting to load a script that does not exist in the scripts folder or it's attempting to load a script that has errors.

You need to read carefully what is written above and below that error message to determine what exactly is the problem. :)

One thing that I found is I thought I was in the directory when I wasn't. When you type "eggdrop -m myconfig.config" where are you?

I had to type
[blabla@localhost blabla]cd /home/blabla/eggdrop/
I did that so that I was working from that dir. then type
[blabla@localhost eggdrop]/home/blabla/eggdrop/eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
This was all done working from the localhost and not telnetting in which it sounds like you are.
