To run BeBot you need three things. MySQL, PHP, and the BeBot files. MySQL is an open source database server. PHP is PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Similar in function to ASP, Perl, VBS, etc. BeBot is what you're trying to run.

Phase 1: MySQL.
If you can't get MySQL setup and working, you won't be able to get a functioning bot. Start with my    
MySQL n00b guide to get MySQL setup and ready for BeBot.

Phase 2: BeBot & PHP:
Kahlem has provided a PHP Bundle to run with BeBot. The PHP support files have been separated from the BeBot files to ease updating.

You can install the bot in any directory you wish, however I'm going to use C:\BeBot for simplicity.

Extract the bot files to C:\BeBot. Then extact the php bundle to the same directory. The contents of c:\BeBot should now look something like:

• conf/
• core/
• extras/
• help/
• IRC/
• log/
• modules/
• php_extension/
• txt/
• AOChat.php
• Bot.php
• Changelog
• gmp.dll
• INSTALL_GUILDBOT.txt
• INSTALL_RAIDBOT.txt
• libmysql.dll
• Licence.txt
• License.txt
• main.php
• MySQL.php
• php5rs.dll
• php.exe
• php.ini
• start.bat
• start.php
• update.php

Using your favorite text editor, edit the files conf/Bot.conf and conf/MySQL.conf to match your AO Account Info, Guild Info, and MySQL configuration.

Start the bot by running the start.bat file. If you did things right, the bot will start up and connect to the AO chat servers.

Ok. I did the mysql as well as I could (Took me a bit) and now I'm stuck on (Drumroll) BeBot!
I configured the .conf files by changing name from .conf to .txt and editing then saving and renaming back to .conf. Doing good so far.
Now I got to run the "Start.bat" file and guess what?

"'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\BeBot>pause
Press any key to continue . . ."

It STAYS this way. When I press any key it closes. Making no visible effect.
A few questions;
1) Is it correct that you should run bot on a diferent accaunt? I have a Froob accaunt RK1 for this purpose.
2) Is phase 5 Necesary for BeBot to run? Because I seem to be unable to do it;

"Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
<C> Copyright blahblahblah

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>mysql -u orothrim -p bebot < c:\bebot\items.sql;

The system cannot find the file specified.

C:\documents and settings\owner>"

All help aprecciated.
Now I'm going to bed. My bum hurts my eyes are watery and I have a mothelode Headache for sitting here for 4 hours trying to figutre the damn thing out. Blasted scripts!

'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

there you need to go into start.php and edit $php_bin = "php"; to $php_bin = "php.exe";

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>mysql -u orothrim -p bebot < c:\bebot\items.sql;

The system cannot find the file specified.

make sure the file is there... the new bebot's don't have it anymore but it's still in the install guide for some reason i don't know 

they changed items module a while back, it no longer uses that itemsdatabase.
so it'll run fine without. just ignore it said that in the guide.

Nova seems to be your mysql user.
localhost is your mysql server.

I had the same problem, chances are you forgot to add ; after every command on mysql window (LIKE I DID).

Ex: Phase 4: Create a Database and Database User for BeBot
1. Type CREATE DATABASE databasename; (replace databasename with the name of the database you wish to create)

What I type (EXACTLY) was this: CREATE DATABASE bebot

What I should have typed was: CREATE DATABASE bebot;

Try and see if that makes a difference

did you do
Type GRANT ALL on databasename.* TO username@localhost; (Again, change databasename and username, keep @localhost)


about the paasword i don't know i use password on 7 number

I am mostly doing this before or after work so I'm somewhat fuzzy.
Patience please. This is my first bot and the first time I've messed with PHP.
I had forgotten what version of BeBot I had installed. Don't know why i didn't look it up.
This is what I did;

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: *********
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 9 to server version: 5.0.27-community-nt

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> CREATE DATABASE Bot;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> CREATE USER Nova@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR Nova@localhost = '*******';
ERROR 1372 (HY000): Password hash should be a 41-digit hexadecimal number
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR Nova@localhost = '******************************';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> GRANT ALL on Bot.* TO Nova@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit
Bye

Current settings;

 

$dbase = "Bot";
    $user = "Nova";
    $pass = "*************************************";
    $server = "localhost";

The password is what is not working properly I think because when I try to log it on:

(BeBot Logo deleted because of size)
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'Nova'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\BeBot\MySQL.php on line 63
MySQL error (# 0) on query: Cannot connect to the database server!
Access denied for user 'Nova'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

C:\BeBot>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

I have all the files listed.
