Running the eggdrop

Eggdrop v1.6.17 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2004 Eggheads
[00:52] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.17 (Wed Dec 29 2004)
[00:52] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
[00:52] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

Anyway to figure out exactly where the problem is? I've gone through the conf about 3 times and can't seem to find anything wrong

Some possible error with your .conf file. Maybe you have not setup some of the variables correctly, or maybe you have left something out. Try downloading a simple config from egghelp.org and give it a check or try the pre-config files as well.

http://www.egghelp.org/files/conf/simple.conf.gz
http://www.egghelp.org/files.htm#config

Load a simple one first, you don't need to set all vars, only the necessary and needed ones. Although it generally echo's an error stating where the problem is as with .tcls and in which line.

Just a quick question what did you edit your config file with?

If you used MS Word then that will deffinately be your problem. only use notepad if you havent got a proper editing client.

If you did use notepad make sure you didnt delete any neccesarry { } braces

Well editing my .conf file is not a big task. Basically you are setting variables. So it is not considered as "HARDCORE" scripting neither it has lines and lines of codes, 80% of comments 20% of set var commands and others.

So I edit my .conf file with wordpad or notepad generally which ever opens. Not with MSWORD or any other tcl editor. Only for tcl script files I use editors.

I have an edited one since 3-4 years use the same. Just update and change the vhost, servers, binded ip, realname, nothing much that than.

I used the simple one you linked to and it is also causing the same error.

what error? there is no actual error msg in your log

and I suspect your Tcl lib is somehow screwed

run the but with default eggdrop.conf and see what happens

Same exact thing

your Tcl is f*cked up

type `locate libtcl' and paste the results

if your Tcl libs are not under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, reinstall Tcl as I suggested above (you are root, aren't you?)

also try `tclsh' and see what happens

if `locate libtcl' couldn't find anything, try: find /usr/lib /usr/local/lib -name 'libtcl*'
