Eggdrop not connecting

Lordy · Post by **Lordy** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 10:56 pm

I read

Connect problems - your bot doesn't show up on IRC, doesn't join channel(s), etc.
Log into the bot via DCC or telnet and type .console +rv (please note that this will work only if you have raw-log set to 1 in your config file); +r flag shows server's output to the bot and +v shows bot's output to the server. Observe what happens after you've set these flags, you might get valuable clues. If you are still unable to find solution to the problem, post the console log along your question.

already, but it doesn't seem to help.

I have raw-log set to 1 in my config file, but when i type .console +rv it doesn't show anything (or am i doing it wrong? :s how would i telnet into the bot?)

also, under /logs there are no files created.

when i launch eggdrop, this is what happens

Eggdrop v1.6.19+2007-copyright (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2007 Eggheads

Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg LoRDYYY hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

[21:55] === LoRDYYY: 2 channels, 0 users.
Launched into the background (pid: 58254)

when i run top, this is what i see

is it supposed to run in select?

and any other advice?

From the Terminal:

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf

Read the output and all will be revealed.

CTRL + C to kill.

I'm getting

[lordy@shells ~/eggdrop/]$ ./eggdtop -n eggdrop.conf
-bash: ./eggdtop: No such file or directory

ls reveals

[lordy@shells ~/eggdrop/]$ ls
./ doc/ filesys/ modules@ text/
../ eggdrop@ help/ modules-1.6.19/
Lordyyy.chan eggdrop-1.6.19* language/ pid.LoRDYYY
README eggdrop.conf logs/ scripts/

also, ctrl+c to kill? or ctrl+c to copy? :O

Typo (rather obviously).

My post fixed.

well, i thought eggtop could have been a new function :p

and i know d is tossed in there sometimes!

i get

[23:22] * USER FILE NOT FOUND! (try './eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf' to make one)

hmm, not sure? do i hvae to rename my eggdrop.conf ?

running /eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf i get

[23:25] === LoRDYYY: 2 channels, 0 users.
I detect LoRDYYY already running from this directory.
If this is incorrect, erase the 'pid.LoRDYYY'

Do what it actually says:

./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf

If you renamed eggdrop.conf the use then file name changed to.

well, i have

i have done ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf which says the process is already running, so i killed it, and re ran it and then did ./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf, same result :p

so i klled it, and did ./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf without running it, and i get the same result :p

Alchera · Post by **Alchera** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 12:38 am

You killed the process id (kill -9 pid)?

If so, then eggdrop is not running then what I originally said to do will work.

If a user file has not been made then you will see the appropriate message regarding that and how to create one .i.e using the -m switch.

1) kill any running bot
2) ./eggdrop -mnt eggdrop.conf

I did this, and I see more information now.

Apparently, it's a server timeout.

I can't seem to quit out of it now

.quit just makes it reset.

Seems I timeout on every server I try to connect to

would this be a host issue?

Is this bot on a shell server?
If it is, you may need to set appropriate my-ip or my-hostname in the conf.
(Some shell servers do not allow connections from the machine's main IP.)

ah, i see.
i'll check with them. afaik, they haven't said anything about needing to set those.
