Couldn't create channel file: TIL-BOT.chan. Dropping

[defenda]

OK...NOOB alert...I'm trying to get this thing running for the first time so please be gentle.

In simple terms what do I have to do to get my bot working?

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type:  /msg TIL-BOT hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.
 
You have installed modules but have not selected an encryption
module, please consult the default config file for info.

Load the module below and check your chan line in the conf..

set chanfile "my.chan"

make sure theres no weird characters..



#### BLOWFISH MODULE ####

# IF YOU DON'T READ THIS YOU MAY RENDER YOUR USERFILE USELESS LATER
# Eggdrop encrypts its userfile, so users can have secure passwords.
# Please note that when you change your encryption method later (i.e.
# using other modules like a md5 module), you can't use your current
# userfile anymore. Eggdrop will not start without an encryption module.
loadmodule blowfish

Thanks. Things seem to be a lot better. I presume the - in TIL-BOT is a little too weird so I will remove it
