It'll be nice to have this working in vB3. Any updates yet?

I get this error trying to run botloader.php:

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/xvtrfvhm/home/public_html/teens/alice/aimlstartup.xml) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xvtrfvhm:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/xvtrfvhm/public_html/teens/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508

Warning: fopen(/xvtrfvhm/home/public_html/teens/alice/aimlstartup.xml): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/xvtrfvhm/public_html/teens/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508
could not open XML input

Any ideas? Everything is chmod 777, I have checked and checked again and again and again. This is on 2.3.2

I'm getting the same errors as the people above with everything chmod 777.

looks like a strange file path you have there...

anyway I installed this one and with the addition of the AIML files from alicebot.org that little bugger owns 60 % of my members ;)
great work

Hmm, I can't get this to work in VB2.3.2
I modified all the files etc, uploaded em all, ran the installer, it said it installed all the stuff in the database aok, but it doesn't reply to any threads.
One bit about the instructions confused me, was this....

When I goto the bots table, I don't know what to do from there?

Wow! i cant tell you how amazing this is! thanks!

One Question. why does he show up as a guest? i created him a file and put the correct userid in the .php file..

well...I just reinstalled it, works great!

LOL A month later after looking at my post above, I finally see the error that I made. Oh well. I have to start over since I deleted Alice from the server shortly after. Wish I could have seen the obvious mistake before I deleted it though.

How can I get my bot to NOT reply to smilies and ignore them completely?
