Why is my Discord bot offline?

Posted on April 11, 2019

Hi, I am curious to know why my bot is offline, I can access my bot console via digital ocean, I had a developer set it up for me, they are no longer available but everything is setup. It was once working, and online but I believe I changed the bot credentials accidentally (token, client secret).I fixed them within the code. I am still not able to get the discord bot online. What could be the other possibilities causing my bot to be offline? Any reply is appreciated.

Hello,

It would really depend on how your bot was setup. There are a few things that you could try to do:

  • Check if the bot is running, or example if you are using node run:
 ps aux | grep node
  • If you don’t get any output then you might have to run npm start to start again your app

  • If the error logs on your server, you could start with the syslog at:

tail -100 /var/log/syslog

Those are just some generic suggestions, in order to be able to advise you further, you would need to share some more details regarding your setup.

Regards, Bobby
