Windrop 1.6.19
OS: CYGWIN_NT-5.2 1.5.25(0.156/4/2)
Tcl library: ./lib/tcl8.5
Tcl version: 8.5.2 (header version 8.5.2)

We have two bots. Both use same version. Both on same computer. Different installations though - different directories, conf files, etc.

First bot has been online for quite a while. No problems with Livestats module. Seems to display fine, when accessed via web.

Second bot has been online for less time. Have not noticed any problems until now though.
Decided to implement Livestats on the second bot. Displays some stats ok, but locks up on Top30. Not just the bot... but it locks up the whole computer.

The port in use for Livestats is unique - not used for anything else. And we tried changing it a time or two... same result.

In partyline, we noticed something.
Example:

<botnickt> [14:54] xx.xx.xxx.xxx: GET /channame/onchan/ HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] xxx.xxx.x.x: GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] xxx.xxx.x.x: GET /favicon.ico/ HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] xx.xx.xx.xxx: GET /channame/users/ HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] xxx.xxx.x.x: GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] xxx.xxx.x.x: GET /favicon.ico/ HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:54] xx.xx.xx.xxx: GET /channame/users/someuser/ HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:55] net: connect! sock 11
<botnick> [14:55] xx.xx.xxx.xxx: GET /channame/misc/ HTTP/1.1
<botnick> [14:55] net: connect! sock 11


Perhaps that line, "net: connect! sock 11" is a clue, as it does not appear in partyline on the first bot.


Also, when doing .restart , have noticed the same line:
net: connect! sock 11
as the bot loads. ( The number varies.)
We do not see this when .restart the first bot.


We would very much like to be able to use Livestats on this ( the second ) bot. It is most frustrating, since it works fine on the first bot. I've been over the config, and can't discern any difference that might be causing it.

Any ideas as to what we might do to get it going?

If you need more info and/or test and test results, please describe what you need, and I'll get it.


Thanks

No replies?

Perhaps I posted in the wrong area? If so, sorry - and please let me know.

The post is good (although being a windrop *j*)

I don't run eggies under windows myself, but with the NT-kernel, there generally shouldn't be any way for a userspace process (your eggdrop) to crash the whole system. This would usually indicate a bad driver is to blame.
Since eggies don't use fancy graphics or advanced 3d sounds, what's left is pretty much your network card drivers.

Unfortunately, I can't be of much more help than that.

First, thank you for replying.

[nml375]

The error might not appear on both bots even if it is a driver issue, as there might be slight changes within the configs that makes your bot utilize the network layer differently, or perhaps you always start one bot before the other (suggesting a resource issue with the driver).

"net: connect!" is not an error message, but rather a debug notice letting you know there was an incoming connection on socket 11 (most likely the socket created to handle the livestats requests). This again suggests you've got different settings on your bot, which might be enough to "trip the wire" and crash the system..
