There are no such things as folders. Thats just what windows calls them.

They are directories, and eggdrop doesn't create them. That is your job.

Yes, make your directory by hand. (I'm sure you know how), and then it will work unless what you've pasted to us is wrong.

Usually, it's /home/<username>/public_html/log but you pasted something different where /home isn't followed by the username.

But oh well, make the dir.. and try it again.

PS: caesar, congratulations.

i created the folder
home/bayzone/public_html/logs
and
placed this in my conf file
logfile jpk #channel "home/bayzone/public_html/logs/channel.log"
there was no log file created..
i left the bot running for half a day before checking

then i tried "../home/bayzone/public_html/logs/channel.log"
and later "~/home/bayzone/public_html/logs/channel.log"
doesnt seem to work

btw, my first line of the egg.conf
#! /home/bayzone/eggdrop

thanks for helping me

try "../public_html/logs/channel.log"
if didn't work try "~/public_html/logs/channel.log"

I've said / (slash?) home not home/bla bla bla. It should work like: /home/bayzone/public_html/logs only if the dirs exist.
