Hi I'm having a problem with thw writing of the stats html files. I can't use the liveupdate thing so I need to use the other method.
when I manually .writewebstats I alway get an error:
[17:42:56] (StatBot): [17:43] Writing static webfiles to ~...
[17:42:58] (StatBot): [17:43] ERROR writing webfiles! (~/index.html)
I used ~ as dir just as a test. I can't figure out what the problem is
Thx for the help

did no one have this problem yet?
pff I really have no idea what causes this. The read/write permissions are of course correctly set.
I'd really appreciate some help

I think most people use livestats. How come you don't?

It just for testing purposes. And I don't know yet if I get a free port. Anyway that's not the point.
I just don't understand where the problem is...

well, it's a small bug I know for a while
eggdrops don't know home directory, the only relative directory they know is
./ wich means
/the/directory/where/is/the/executable/
And imho, it's better like this, so you can avoid troubles with setting a variable like:
Peharps the
~ is a special char in C or TCL... but something is sure: really depreciated in TCLs
