Since I use ./config

Personal preference I suppose and as I run 20 bots on shell accounts...

Since when did you need a executable config file to setup a crontab job.
just tell your cron script to run ./eggdrop config instead of just ./config

It's not vital for eggdrop to run.

Is if one uses crontab and who doesn't setup a cron job for eggies on shells? I always have.

It's good practice to set it. Having the conf as an executable script also makes things a little easier crontab or no.

You need it if you want threat the config file as a executable script, which can be handy when setting up crontab, thats about it.
No biggie.

That line is not a comment. It points to where eggdrop resides and has to be set.

Code:

#! /path/to/executable/eggdrop# ^- This should contain a fully qualified path to your Eggdrop executable.

Doesn't anyone read anything these days? eggdrop.conf is well commented and if followed correctly, eggdrop should start and connect without a drama.

Look at the first line carefully, you haven't even set the eggdrop executable path even.

Code:

#! /path/to/executable/eggdrop

It should be something like:

Code:

#! /home/awyeah/eggdrop/eggdrop

If my username 'awyeah' is in the home directory and eggdrop being my eggdrop directory and then the next eggdrop being the executable file.

You shouldn't need to re-do the entire conf-file. Just try replacing the set servers section. Follow esix's advice, replace "uk.quakenet.org:6667" with "irc.quakenet.org:6667" it might be having problems resolving certain servers- so set it to the hub.

set servers {
irc.quakenet.org:6667
uk.quakenet.org:6667
}

And for S&G, try setting the server to something entirely different, just to see if it'll connect.

(try irc.efnet.org:6667 or something else)

If it wont connect to ANY server, you might have an issue with DNS on the machine- assuming of course you did in fact enable the module. make sure it's enabled and your ip settings are correct. If you have virtual hosting, try using a different IP- sometimes that gets the trick done.

Also, if you're running this behind a shell- are you positive there is no firewalling? Some shells block all IRC activity because it's against their AUP. Check with your host and see if eggdrops are allowed on their machine. if it's your machine, make sure the proper ports are forwarded to the machine you're connecting from, etc.

See if you have loaded the dns module or not.
Check if this line has been uncommented or not in the .conf file.
#loadmodule dns
