Problems starting up bot

done that, well it seems that it doesen't go online

Then do the following and watch all of the output, it will show what is wrong:

Code:

./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf

I also gave you a link in an earlier post on setting up egddrop, I suggest you follow the guide.

how do you erase it?

Make sure you do not have a running process for the bot.

To find this out and to kill that process do the following on your shell:

Code:

ps x

The result will look something like this:

[chuckles@cristie ~/bots]$ ps x
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
73073 p0 SNs 0:00.02 -bash (bash)
95803 p0 SN 0:00.01 /home/chuckles/bots/eggdrop ./borg.conf (eggdrop-1.6.18)
96087 p0 RN+ 0:00.00 ps x
[chuckles@cristie ~/bots]$

You will notice that I have highlighted the numbers on the left (in the above example) on the line containing information re eggdrop, that is the PID that needs to be killed if the eggdrop process is running.

You then issue the command to kill that process using the number given on your shell when you are given the PID for your running process.

Code:

kill -9

Having done that look for a file named 'pid.' using "ls" and then delete:

Code:

rm pid.

Unix/Linux is case sensitive so make sure you type everything correctly.

Like you'd remove any file... using rm

I'd strongly suggest making sure there's no process currently running tho, and if so, killing it first...

Yep, either you already got a process running, or it exited uncleanly leaving a "pidfile" behind...
Just do as the last line tells you to: Check if you already got a process running, otherwize remove the pidfile

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

[21:57] === wrp|eggdr: 0 channels, 0 users.
I detect wrp|eggdr already running from this directory.
If this is incorrect, erase the 'pid.wrp|eggdr'

You might wanna try start it up with: ./eggdrop -nt eggdrop.conf (or ./eggdrop -mnt eggdrop.conf if you havn't created a userfile yet).
That prevents your bot from forking into background, and instead provides you with a console... should atleast give you some insight on what your bot is actually doing

Will this be the reason It wont start? If so what should I do? (i checked if there was a section on encryption but there isnt, where could i find this?)

You have installed modules but have not selected an encryption
module, please consult the default config file for info.

And this is from the config file..

#### BLOWFISH MODULE ####

# IF YOU DON'T READ THIS YOU MAY RENDER YOUR USERFILE USELESS LATER
# Eggdrop encrypts its userfile, so users can have secure passwords.
# Please note that when you change your encryption method later (i.e.
# using other modules like a md5 module), you can't use your current
# userfile anymore. Eggdrop will not start without an encryption module.
loadmodule blowfish

Just remove the # at the beginning of #loadmodule blowfish
It really pays to read the setting up an eggdrop suggested and also the complete config file BEFORE trying to start your eggdrop.

Good luck

I would suggest you follow the instructions in Setting up an Eggdrop carefully and line by line.

Also try this to see exactly what is not going right:

Code:

./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf
