Fritzbot ET works properly with both 2.60 and 2.60b versions of ET. 2.55 should not be used, nor should Fritzbot ET be combined with other mods.

Normally you can host a map that has no waypoints and errors will appear in the console but you can still wander about (any bots added will stand stupidly about complaining about no goals).
However ET may handles errors differently for campaigns. E.G. If the first map in a campaign has no .nav then ET disconnects. And if the map is not OK to start campaigns it may even hang. Typically Fritzbot crashes are just regular ET crashes (e.g. no more entities, lack of memory allocs...) but there are a small number of Fritzbot specific items that Waypointers must deal with.

So...
(1) Verify that your ET is stable (some past posters have found that a temp file or regular file was likely corrupt).
(2) verify that your server can host Fritzbot (server+client combined). If not why not? Single Objective OK? campaign OK? com_hunkmegs ok?
(3) Then try a dedicated server with oasis map. Then purposely load in a single objective map not supported, say railgun. Is that the first place it crashes? Check the server logs for more insight.

If you still have problems post more details. I don't run dedicated servers normally so you should communicate with those who do (Nedd3h, vlvttch, lordbeaver, Docfrog, Adder, AIM, ...)
