I used a linux installer to install on my linux server.
Python 2.5 is installed
Everything went through without a problem.

However when i start the B3 bot it does not connect to my SQL DB
I know my SQL login credentials are correct. And it gives me these errors

Code:

Using config file: /home/soldier/.gameservers/cod4_1/B3/b3/conf/b3.xml
Using external plugin directory: /home/soldier/.gameservers/cod4_1/B3/b3/extplugins

    self.input.seek(0, os.SEEK_END)

i have no idea why.
any help would be appreciated

Do you have python-mysqldb installed?

Do you have python-mysqldb installed?

I didn't before, but I just did

I tried  apt-get install python-mysqldb     and server does not recognize command
I tried yum install python-mysqldb    and it says no package with that name.

I did follow these instructions to install it manually

Code:

To install MySQLdb module, download it from MySQLdb Download page and proceed as follows:

$ gunzip MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar
$ cd MySQL-python-1.2.3
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

Note: Make sure you have root privilege to install above module.

but I still get the same errors when i try to start bot

All looks ok. Can you send the full log from beginning to shutdown?

B3 1.3 Bug,
you need python 2.6 since B3 1.3
update your python version,
and all should be fine
 

[0re0z]

i thought it was 2.5 i had installed but it was actually 2.7
i dl'd directly from http://www.python.org/download/

but if you are saying that B3 sorta updated / downgraded my python then i can reinstall the 2.7

B3 1.3 Bug,
you need python 2.6 since B3 1.3
update your python version,
and all should be fine
 

Thanks! I forgot about that.  It's in the documentaiton as well. Follow the steps here pls -> http://wiki.bigbrotherbot.net/doku.php/support:faq#b3_doesn_t_support_python_24_and_i_m_on_centos_now_what

[0re0z]

I'm having a little issue with my server provider at the moment.
I'll give it a shot when things get straightened out and get back to yall

thanks, yall have been so much help so far!

I had exactly the same problem a few months ago. Centos yum is dependent upon an older version on Python and you must do a parallel installation to avoid breaking it.

The wiki Freelander points to was the fix.

Good luck!
