Eggdrop not connecting to the Server.

[twista]

I get the normal message on startup, (msg botnick hello, launched into background pID xxx and so on). There is also nothing in the logs, BUT, the Eggy just wont connect to the IRC server.

How can that be?

If you need part from the eggdrop.conf, tell me which.

Many thanks in advance

try adding more than one irc-server in your config

Try starting your eggdrop with the -n switch to get a clearer picture of what is going on.

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -mn eggdrop.conf

Also are you sure that you bot has actually launched? after is has loaded type this

Code: Select all

ps x

and see if your eggdrop is in your process list. If it is not then there may be something wrong with your config file.

Another thing it could be is your vhost. If it is banned on the server you are trying to connect to it will not show up. You should see if its this when you start your eggdrop with the -n switch

the processes are running fine, forgot to mention that.
there is also no way i'm banned or anything.

now, with the -n switch, i get the following:

I have never seen that before and I have absolutley no idea on what could be causing it. Sorry. Maybe one of the others knows how to fix this.

maybe my-ip or something like that set wrong? almost sounds like the TCP connection is [censored] up. have you triied to manually establish a tcp connection to or from the bot?

PS: problem has been solved in IRC. He set my-ip to 127.0.0.1. Now he uses an empty my-ip and has entered his dyn dns in my-hostname .
