I build mmbot, What next I have to do

[paritoshmmmec]

I build mmbot from source but is not able to much. I thought it would open a port where I could send commands to process request. Please correct my understanding.

I also configured hipchat with mentioned configuration, MMBot is receiving commands from the hipchat but not able to send back any message, Still trying to figure out any thing I did wrong. (I might calling wrong api version or so)

You do not just send commands to an opened port. It will allow you to send commands via the command line window, or via any adapters you've configured.

I must admit, I too am having trouble with getting mmbot to respond. This is what I've tried

• Installed via chocolatey
• made an mmbot directory
• cd'd to that directory
• run mmbot --init
• installed the hipchat adapter
• configured hipchat in the mmbot.ini file
• run mmbot

I get the following output

NFO : Loading script Auth.csx

 >>> mmbot chat robot

 http://github.com/mmbot/mmbot

mmbot is running. Press CTRL+C at any time to exit

and that is followed by the rooms it is joining.

Now I thought I'd just type mmbot help in my hipchat room and it would respond, but I get nothing back.
Same deal if I type it at the command line.
Same deal if I go thru the process with Slack.
I was unable to configure mmbot correctly for XMMP (hosted.im). not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I know it's joining the rooms, as I can see it's presence in the rooms/channels

Any help would be appreciated.

OK, discovered my problem I'm a bit embarrased that I didn't spot the script loading errors. So my issue is a the same problem as #209
