Try starting it with the -m option. (only the first time you run eggdrop)

See:
http://www.egghelp.org/setup.htm
and scroll down to "Starting the Eggdrop"

I hope that helps.

Sadly, it doesnt. =_=
can anyone provide me with an already done eggdrop.conf script?
want to use it as a reference point and see if I can figure out the problem.

Follow the instructions on that page. That's what I used when I first started with Eggdrop. I also used this http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf when I had some issues understanding what each setting meant.

I wouldn't advise using someone else's preconfigured bots/.conf files unless they are from a very trusted source that came recommended by someone on this board. You run the risk of opening up a can of worms.

I'm not an expert on Eggdrops but I have learned a lot from this board and the IRC channels that are suggested throughout the site. Hope this helps.

If start your eggdrop for first time type: ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf (or nameofconf.conf)

That's assuming that he's in the eggdrop directory. I think that's where the problem is.

Okay, in conf file on new line add this:

set userfile "users.users"

Apparently I did follow the instructions.
But it still says "no userfile"

Okay, in conf file on new line add this:

set userfile "users.users"

I'll try this one. Btw do I need to change the "user.user"?

No need to switch, but otherwise you might as well do it named - for example: abc.def or klm.opq .. You judge

Not sure what error you get when you don't have write permissions..
But be sure that the user that starts the egg have permissions so be in the directory and can write to it.

Thanks, this helped a lot.

Yeah, I do have permission.

Thanks for everything. Finally got my bot up and running.
