Hello,
i have installed all mysql, php5, apache2 and phpmyadmin and it run.
Since PhpMyAdmin i have created a new user and a new DB and it run.
I have installed the bebot folder like it come on the zip (0.6. and configured bot.conf and mysql.conf. have configured startbot.php to like in the instructions and installed a new serverlist.php (the most recently i have found.

When i try to start the bot, with startbot or startdebugbot, a new window open and close imediatly, with some lines of text but no time to take any picture. where do i need to find the error?does the bot run with .bat to start? it look like php5 config problem? TY for your help.

I also recommend the post.

Scroll down to the section where I put the start_bot scripts for a way to create a log of what is happening when you try to start the bot. That way we can help you better.

I created a small perl script to make sure my bot is running and haven't seen anything like it on the boards, so I am sharing it here.

*edit 16 Nov 2011 --->
I made a different version that is just tied to the bash shell... See below: This one is a bit easier to configure than my original above...

start_bot.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

### Check FC Bots and start if necessary

# This script looks to see if your bot is actually running and does nothing if it is
# already running.
# If it is not running, it will email you the previous log, then compress it to conserve space.
#

# The BOT* items you will need to configure for your bot.
BOTHOME="/home/bot/OrgBots"
BOTNAME="Your Bot Name here"
# I use the account I use to run the bots' home directory here
BOTLOGS="/home/bot"
# Where you want to save the old logs to.
BOTLOG_Archive=${BOTLOGS}/logs
someone_who_cares="[email protected]"

mdate=`date +%b-%d-%Y`;
hdate=`date +%b-%d-%Y_%H%M_hrs`;

z=`ps -ef |grep ${BOTNAME} |grep -v grep`;
if [[ $z == "" ]]
then {
  # comment this next line out if you don't want the previous log emailed to you.
  mailx -s "Starting ${BOTNAME} bot " ${someone_who_cares} <${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log ;
  if [ -e "${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log-${mdate}.gz" ]
  then {
    mv ${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${mdate};
    /bin/gzip ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${mdate};
  }
  else {
    mv ${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${hdate};
    /bin/gzip ${BOTLOG_Archive}/${BOTNAME}.log-${hdate};
  };
  fi
  cd ${BOTHOME}; /usr/bin/php -f ${BOTHOME}/StartBot.php ${BOTNAME} 2>&1 > ${BOTLOGS}/${BOTNAME}.log &
}

Ok, it run now, after read all the helps on this forum i have reinstalled all and bot seems runing, just need to find the correct aoc server:) ty for your help!

Slavebot [LOGIN]   [STATUS]   Connecting to aoc server dm10-nj4.ageofconan.com:7000
Slavebot [LOGIN]   [STATUS]   Authenticating
Sending RPCPacket:0
Read error: EOF

Warning: Error while reading rpc header. () in /home/bot/BeBot/Sources/AOChat.php on line 503

Slavebot [CONN]   [ERROR]   Failed authenticating to server. Retrying in 60 seconds.

BTW i have tried with the server= dm02-sto.ageofconan.com and have a different error message:

Slavebot [LOGIN]   [STATUS]   Connecting to aoc server dm02-sto.ageofconan.com:7000

Warning: Could not connect to the AOC Chat server (dm02-sto.ageofconan.com:7000): Connection timed out in /home/bot/BeBot/Sources/AOChat.php on line 253
Slavebot [CONN]   [ERROR]   Can't connect to server. Retrying in 60 seconds.

Have read and tried it.
atm the only configuration that start the authenticating fase is the one i had before trying it.
with the solutions i can see here i have error before that part.

  Yay! Glad to hear that you got it going again.
