 On windows, according to the PHP version you'd want Bebot to run into, you may need to copy a php.exe file right into bot's root folder (where StartBot.bat is). Unless windows PATH and/or php.ini are well set so the exe can locate required libraries alone, you may have to copy correct .dll files for this specific PHP.

 The console should now state that the bot is loading the modules, authenticating and connecting. Once this is done (it should only take a few seconds) You can log onto an character ingame which you have configured as “superadmin”. You should now be able to talk to the bot.

 Open a console (In windows press “Start” ⇒ “Run” ⇒ enter “cmd” and press enter).
 Now run StartBot (.php under linux or .bat under windows) :
 Windows: Navigate to the directory of your bot assuming you have the php.exe in the same directory and write “StartBot.bat”. You also can make it a startup shortcut as long as your database service runs too.
 Linux: Assuming you can run php from anywhere navigate to your bot directory and write “php StartBot.php” (assuming your php binary is named “php”). You also can cron it at startup with screen, as long as your database service runs too.

 So a good linux trick to fix this is to start the bot as embedded into another resilient command to run it detached and therefore persistent.
