Troubleshooting

Errors during install

If you run into errors durring the install try running these commands, otherwise skip this section.

npm update -g
run npm cache clear

And then run install again.

npm install

Not joining channel

• If your bot isn't joining the channel on startup, check to make sure it's on the server by messaging it: "/msg b0t test" and see if it responds. If you get an error that that nick doesn't exist, it's not on the server.
• Enable debugging in your config to see if you have connection errors. "bot_config" -> "debug": true, "showErrors": true
• Restart your b0t, and run it with node b0t.js, instead of with PM2 or Forever.

Other things to try:

• Update your node install, and run the above again.
• Verify your config.json has all the correct settings in it, especially if you were running an older version of b0t.
• Check your log file under logs/* for errors
• In your config file you can enable these settings to get more info: "debug_level": "DEBUG" (set ALL, as a last resort, this will flood your log files), "bot_config" -> "debug": true, "showErrors": true

Issues with specific commands

• Check your cmd_override.json file to make sure a permission is set correctly, and commands are disabled.
• Make sure that if the command requires an API key you have that set in your config.json file.

If all else fails

• Submit a Issue request, and I'll eventually get around to it.
