Hi everyone,
today I installed eggdrop to my VPS, but it seems the eggdrop doesn't connect to my irc network. After installing I start the eggdrop via commando line command: " /usr/bin/eggdrop -m /home/eggiuser/eggdrop.conf"
Looks good, I get the message:

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

The problem is, the eggdrop doesn't appear in the irc network or chan. Nothing happens. Here is my config file:
~code removed, thread easier to read if shorter.
Maybe andbody have an idea why it doesn't work. I tested different irc servers, but none worked.
Thanks a bunch.

That looks like a command to start a bot that has been installed via some repository.
apt-get ?
If so, you can get it to work, I suppose. But often, there are headaches.
Most - including me - will tell you to start over and compile from source, if possible.
Next - go here:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf
and text search for : deprecated
and read that info found there.
To me, one big reason to NOT add chans via eggdrop.conf, but only via partyline command: You should be in control of your bot BEFORE it ever enters a channel. Control comes from logging into the partyline.
Last:
Start the bot with the -n switch.
If you need to use -m , then use both, as in -mn
The -n switch keeps bot from going into the background. This way, you can see what is going on. Most likely, you will get a clue as to what the problem is.
( you can do:
./eggdrop -h
and get a brief description of all the command line options )

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I used apt-get. I will remove it and will compile it by myself and try again.
Thanks for the advices also, I will check that. |

You might still need to use -mn to be able to see what is going on, if the new bot doesn't connect.
Let us know.

| Thanks for your help. After compiling, the eggdrop joined the server without problems. Another question. I see that SSL is at the moment not supported (only with dev version 1.8). Is there an extension for 1.6.21 or I could use the 1.8 dev? |

I think there is (or was) something that could be done with 1.6.21. I've never tried it. I do seem to recall reading that there were problems with it.
Ask around, but I think the best thing for you to do, if you want SSL, is to go to version 1.8 .
Congrats on your compiling you new bot. Have fun with it.

Try Freenode , and join #eggdrop and/or #egghelp.
Used to be that
http://eggheads.org/
was the place to download from.
They are doing github now, too. Not sure which is "best" now.
Ask there.
