Config error/not found?

Mrkrabz · Post by **Mrkrabz** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 4:48 pm

When running I currently get

[Rat@Game1 eggdrop]$ ./eggdrop

Eggdrop v1.6.21 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2011 Eggheads
[16:43:49] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.21 (Tue Jul 9 2013)
[16:43:49] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
[16:43:49]
[16:43:49] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)
[Rat@Game1 eggdrop]$

My config file is named eggdrop.conf and the user has full access to it.

I'm getting this with my edited config file and also the default one supplied by eggdrop.

I really don't have anymore info on this as there doesn't seem to be any useful errors at all.

Thanks.

Check Your Config File Again! Or Post Your Conf File Here!

As mentioned, it does this with the default configuration, it doesn't go down to the error which says you need to edit the config.

I've seen similar issues reported in the past.
Either the config-file was not readable to the eggdrop process, or the eggdrop binary was badly compiled/linked (pre-built package, as I recall).

A first step, check who's the owner of the file, and which permissions are set:
ls -la eggdrop.conf

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54409 Jul 9 16:39 eggdrop.conf

I gather that's enough permissions as I can already read and write to that file.

I also compiled eggdrop myself, which didn't seem to have any errors.

It's really not such a good idea running eggdrop's as the super user...
That said, the file is readable by any user on the system. Is this a pre-built eggdrop (package install)?

I'm running it from a user called "Rat". It hasn't got root permissions and now has access to all files

chown -R Rat eggdrop

yet I still get

[15:22:56] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

This was a compiled source from the latest version.

Not sure what's going on there.

If you are starting your eggdrop as a local user, why are you placing all the files in the home directory of the super user?

As for what is going on there; /root is owned by root, and is generally, AND SHOULD BE, locked down to any other users. Having the directory Read,Write,eXecute to the "others" group (any user on the system) is just asking for getting your system taken over! Further, it should not be owned by any local user, but by root.

Best way of getting your eggdrop working? Start all over, and don't use the root account at all! Download the source, compile your eggdrop, run "make install", configure your eggdrop, and finally start it. And make sure you do this as the Rat3 user, NOT root.

Oh, and just to make sure I'm clear about this...
That means, download, build, install, etc your eggdrop in Rat3's home directory, not /root

Mrkrabz · Post by **Mrkrabz** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 7:44 am

Ah crap, not entirely sure how I didn't notice that. When I did make install, I forgot to supply the install dir into the Home dir.

Thanks.

Edit: One other thing, is there something in the conifg file that changes how fast the bot will re-connect after the IRC server has lost connection? I'm wanting my bot to be the first to join.

It does this with the default configuration, it doesn't go down to the error which says you need to edit the config.
