Hallo,

first of all, my english is very bad, so sorry for the next lines.
I have a VServer with Suse 10.3. With the help of this forum i was able to config the Bot as far as this problem is happening.
If I start the bot with "php5 StartBot.php" this will be the result:
<sup>===================================================

===================================================

Sockets extention required to run this bot</sup>

It repeats in an endless loop.
There are no more errors.
I looked at the php.ini where the path is for the expansion

<sup>; The directory under which PHP opens the script using /~username used only
; if nonempty.
user_dir =

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = /usr/lib/php5/extensions

; Whether or not to enable the dl() function.  The dl() function does NOT work
; properly in multithreaded servers, such as IIS or Zeus, and is automatically
; disabled on them.
enable_dl = Off</sup>

And in the path are these files:

I don´t know what i should do... By the way, I have no experience in php, mysql or Linux, so its difficult for me...

I hope someone can tell me what i have to do

The way I see it, are there missing extensions like php_sockets. How can i install the missing extensions? Is it only possible with a reinstall of php? My PHP-version is 5.2.6.0-1. Maybe this is helpful
