New server

[gride420]

Hello i am kind of a newbie at all this eggdrop stuff. I have a few running nicely atm, but i just got a new server. The old server was ensim 3.1 basic with rh 7.2. New server is rhel with pro.

Can someone tell me word for word or in nice detail how i can backup my bots off oldserver then get them working on the new one.

I have dowloaded all the files from my shell account of my bots.

Can i just install on new server then just overwright the config, user, pid files. or is there another easier way or whatever. Im just looking for the easiest way of doing this for a newby.

Thanks all in advance.

Yes, the easiest way is to install bots from new, and then overwrite *.conf, user file and chan file.But you can aswell copy your old bot folder to your new pc and just run eggdrop, it should work fine...Maybe only you will have problem with pid, and then you will need to delete it...

well i moved my folders over to the new server and i tried to run them and i get this.

[gride@srv2 eggdrop4]$ ./eggdrop eluid.conf
./eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[gride@srv2 eggdrop4]$


Any idea?

i tried to install the tcl but it said it was already isntalled.

updatre

i also tried to ./configure and it started but ended like this i was told i need to instal the lib now

checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
configure: error:

I can't find Tcl on this system.

Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed
on this system, and I just wasn't looking in the right place for it,
set the environment variables TCLLIB and TCLINC so I will know where
to find 'libtcl.a' (or 'libtcl.so') and 'tcl.h' (respectively). Then
run 'configure' again.

Read the README file if you don't know what Tcl is or how to get it
and install it.
