Hostname self lookup failed

Post by bassMonkey »

Hellou,

im fairly new to eggdrop and have been running it on win2k for about a month, recently i installed gentoo linux on my server and decided to install eggdrop on that box instead, but i ran into some trouble, i tried to use my old config with minor modifications wich should have worked just fine, however it didn't so i used the eggdrop.simple.conf and modified it to my liking. When i try to run

Code: Select all

eggdrop -m eggdrop.simple.conf
i get the following output:
./eggdrop eggdrop.simple.conf
[00:46] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.12 (Sat Apr 10 2004)

my eggdrop conf can be seen at:

and yes i'm aware that 1.6.12 is a bit old but it has worked great for me in the past...
Any suggestions?

Try to set variable set my-ip in your config file.Put your ip between " ".Like this: set my-ip "22.22.22.22"...
