Code: Select all

./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf

You are told exactly what is wrong. For each opening brace '{' there has to be a closing brace '}' i.e.

Code: Select all

set servers { 
Prothid.CA.US.GameSurge.net:6667 
}

Alright, well I fixed everything and the ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf worked, but its been 10 minutes and the bot hasnt gone online, and I'm not sure what to do..

I would suggest you follow the instructions in Setting up an Eggdrop carefully and line by line.

Also try this to see exactly what is not going right:

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf

Will this be the reason It wont start? If so what should I do? (i checked if there was a section on encryption but there isnt, where could i find this?)

You have installed modules but have not selected an encryption
module, please consult the default config file for info.

And this is from the config file..

#### BLOWFISH MODULE ####

# IF YOU DON'T READ THIS YOU MAY RENDER YOUR USERFILE USELESS LATER
# Eggdrop encrypts its userfile, so users can have secure passwords.
# Please note that when you change your encryption method later (i.e.
# using other modules like a md5 module), you can't use your current
# userfile anymore. Eggdrop will not start without an encryption module.
loadmodule blowfish

Just remove the # at the beginning of #loadmodule blowfish
It really pays to read the setting up an eggdrop suggested and also the complete config file BEFORE trying to start your eggdrop.

Good luck

have you tried to whois the bot from the network? it may be connecting but not joining any channels especially if you havent set them in the config

hype · Post by **hype** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 3:41 pm

well, I whois'ed it but nothing shows up

You might wanna try start it up with: ./eggdrop -nt eggdrop.conf (or ./eggdrop -mnt eggdrop.conf if you havn't created a userfile yet).
That prevents your bot from forking into background, and instead provides you with a console... should atleast give you some insight on what your bot is actually doing

That is what I got when I ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf it, It doesent start, is there any problem you can find?

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg wrp|eggdrop hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

I detect wrp|eggdr already running from this directory.
If this is incorrect, erase the 'pid.wrp|eggdr'
