Eggdrop won't connect.

[Pomicio2008]

Ok so i have configured my bot, and it says in putty that it has connected, but it doesn't actually connect to IRC.

Why could this be?

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

[00:14] === pomIRC: 0 channels, 0 users.
Launched into the background (pid: 28804)


IRC:

-
-> *pomirc* hello
-
pomirc No such nick/channel
-

EDIT:

Ok I was able to connect it with ./eggdrop -mn eggdrop.conf but now I come up with this error:

[00:53] -NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname...
[00:53] -NOTICE- *** Found your hostname (cached)
[00:53] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: pomIRC[lost.myweed.info] (Password mismatch)

What does this mean? I have run eggdrops in the past, and have never run across any of this before...fyi this is my irc server....

Thanks in advance!

########## BOT SETTING ##########
set bnick "yournickbot"
set admin "yournick"
set botchann "#yourchan"
set botpass "yourbotport"
set my-ip "yourip"

and
set default-port 6667

set servers {
irc.server:port:${botpass}
}

are you sure that was correct ?

[Pomicio2008]

Yes that should all be correct...but what would the pass be for though? I have never had to set this...

[Bahasa]

I have no idea, maybe your botnick pass ?

Are you actually sure you need a password at all?
I was able to connect without entering any passwd information at all...
This works just fine for me:

Code: Select all

set servers lost.myweed.info
# Optionally you could also specify the port:
#set servers {
# lost.myweed.info:6667
#}

@Bahasa:
That will not evaluate properly, you'll have to replace the {} with "" when setting the servers-list for ${botpass} to be replaced with it's actual value.
I.e;

Code: Select all

set botpass "yourbotpass"
...
set servers "
 irc.server:port:${botpass}
"

#or do it this way:
#set servers {
# irc.server:port:yourbotpass
#}

[Pomicio2008]

No there should not be a password..I can connect fine as well...but the bot can't...this is so confusing

[nml375]

Some servers will actually reject the connection if you do supply an incorrect password when one is not required. Eggdrop will only attempt to supply a password if there is one present with the current server in the server list. Could you double check that the server list does not contain any password? (each line is one server setting; hostname, port, and password are separated using : when port and/or password are used). I.e that you don't have any trailing : on the line or such...
