bot still not coming into irc

[toad]

i set ip and the host to same as first (sucessfully running) bot and it still wont come into irc. I looked at the log an it appears as if its having trouble connecting, the last line (far too long to put whole log) was the following:

20:09] Trying server 7000:6667
[20:09] Failed connect to 7000 (Invalid namespace)
[20:09] (@) EOF socket 7, not a dcc socket, not anything.


then it tries to connect to next server and port and the following line appears

20:09] -NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname
[20:09] -NOTICE- *** Checking Ident
[20:09] -NOTICE- *** Couldn't look up your hostname


hmm, but i have my hostname set,

any ideas?

thank you soo much for your time and help:)

well, i dunno if this helps but, when i ran another bot from the same user, even if they used different folders, it gave me an ass load of errors. what i had to do is make a new user and run it from there. maybe this helps ya, maybe it doesn't but it's just m 2 cents

20:09] Trying server 7000:6667
[20:09] Failed connect to 7000 (Invalid namespace)
[20:09] (@) EOF socket 7, not a dcc socket, not anything.

then it tries to connect to next server and port and the following line appears

20:09] -NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname
[20:09] -NOTICE- *** Checking Ident
[20:09] -NOTICE- *** Couldn't look up your hostname

First, check your serverlist and remove that non-existent server (server 7000 on port 6667 ).That will remove that obstacle...Then, I suggest you make sure your bot's vhost/ip address is resolving on your network, i.e. /dns your.cool.vhost.com, or /dns 123.45.678.9. If it resolves, try to change your port, as the one you selected might already be in use by someone else on your shell. Hope this helps
