Having a similar issue as well in startup of Bebot
WinXP SP2, PHP5, latest non-beta release of MySQL

Code: [Select]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '!' in E:\Games\BeBot\BeBot_v0.2.8\conf\Bot
.conf on line 33

E:\Games\BeBot\BeBot_v0.2.8>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

The Bot.conf line 33 is the command line, as follows:

Code: [Select]

$command_prefix = "!"; // Please make sure this is in a Reg-Exp format... (exampe: for "." use "\.")
No change from original

So, in this instance, how come I can't it to start up?
Sorry, I'm a PHP/SQL coding dummie, so I don't have the know-how to debug this myself

First off don't use the batch file. Just type "php start.php"

@Malosar
For most Windows users, there is no "just type", Windows hides command line and doesn't require their users to ever touch it.
Which is why there is a .bat file. In addition the .bat file ensures that the correct php.ini is passed so that the users don't have to worry about aokex not being loaded and getting login errors.

@plugz
Make sure you also check the preceeding line's as the error does not neccecarily tell you which line the actual error is on, but rather the line at which it ran into it causing a problem.

If you'r still stuck, strip username and password out of the file and drop me a PM with it attched.

That got me on track at least, now I'm getting access denied errors from SQL, so will go back and review the install text to see if I misconstrued something there

thanks khalem

Be sure to checkout http://bebot.link/index.php/topic,384.0.html

Did that and followed it to the letter, unable to find a database of the name I gave it when searching my C drive, since I let it install on default paths

Edit*
Got DB set up, for the ; at the end of the commands
running start.bat, gives error argument for line 63 of the mysql.php file

Code: [Select]

$conn = mysql_connect($this -> SERVER, $this -> USER, $this -> PASS, true);
In MySql, where we are supposed to input our login info

Code: [Select]

var $CONN = "";
Install.txt had no mention of inputting info for this line

Mmm, I think I got it finally
in MySQL.conf, removed the @localhost in username and it worked

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request GET /bebot2/start.php.

Reason: Document contains no data

Vhab · « **Reply #24 on:** September 17, 2006, 11:25:29 pm »

erm, do NOT run the bot as a website..

Naturalistic · « **Reply #25 on:** September 18, 2006, 09:04:57 am »

This is a chat bot, there is no website capabilities (even security issues possibly) if you tried to run it on a website.

It has to be done from a secure directory, and locally run.

Khalem · « **Reply #26 on:** September 18, 2006, 10:04:40 pm »

This is probably because of php or apache timing out your request.

Background processes like BeBot are not designed to be launched by a web browser, and it never should be launched that way. Ever.
