[SOLVED] problem geting it work

[Dy0nisus]

Hello!

It's the first time for me that i install eggdrop. I use version 1.6.18

After editing eggdrop.conf i wanted to start the bot using

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -m

this is what i get:

Code: Select all

Eggdrop v1.6.18 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2006 Eggheads
[18:12] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.18 (Wed Jan 24 2007)
[18:12] * Please make sure you edit your config file completely.

no userfile is created, no pidfile is created, no logfile is created

can somebody help the noob?

I'd suggest you start by doing as the "errormessage" says... edit your config-file completely...
The "error" is there to prevent ppl from starting their eggies without bothering to go through the whole config-file.

i eddited the whole file ...

there is a file created after the first start

CANTSTART.xxxx

it contains: no userfile

[nml375]

If you've edited the whole file, I assume you've removed the line that generates the message from your initial post (Heck, there's even a comment that says you must remove it).

Also, I strongly suggest you don't create a crontab job for your eggdrop until you've got it running properly and created the userfile, etc (CANTSTART.xxxx is created by the crontab-script "botchk", and is used to prevent "botchk" from spamming your email every x minutes when it can't start)

okay ... i overread this line ...

now it seems to be fine ... no errors if i use ./eggdrop -m

but the bot doesn't start ...

this is what i get:

Code: Select all

STARTE DEN BOT IM BENUTZERDATEI-ERSTELLUNGS-MODUS.
Baue eine Telnetverbindung zu dem Bot auf und gib 'NEW' als Deinen Nickname ein.
ODER gehe ins IRC und:  /msg myhighclass-de hello
Dies macht Dich zum Master des Bots.

Du hast die modulare Version installiert, jedoch kein
Verschluesselungsmodul ausgewaehlt. Fuer weitere Informationen siehe
die mitgelieferte Konfigurationsdatei.

channel - file was created, but no user and no log files

Your bot is now on IRC, make sure your umode -R then type

Code: Select all

/msg myhighclass-de hello 

bot'll set you to be an owner.

As the error message says, you've failed to load an encryption-module...
Once again, go through your configfile.

Exempt from the distribution configfile:

# 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
