[b]TEMP[/b] dir problem and another one

Post by JayC »

I have a problem now when running Windrop 1.6.12
It says it can't write to TEMP dir. I'm running Windows XP and i tried to uncheck the ReadOnly attribute from the C:\Windows\Temp directory but when i run the windrop it sets itself to ReadOnly again.
I had before Windrop 1.6.10 and it worked but i think it's because I had installed first Windows 98 on the Primary Partition and Windows XP on the Secondary one and it used C:\Temp dir.

Another problem is on an Eggdrop (1.6.12) this time.
I saw somebody else post this problem to but this time i've checked it out a little more. I've started the eggdrop fine with no errors , AND I HAVE SET THE SERVERS CORRECTLY :
loadmodule server
set net-type 2
set nick "JCD"
set altnick "KCD"
set realname "/msg $botnick hello"
set init-server { putserv "MODE $botnick +i-ws" }
set default-port 6667
set servers {
elsene.be.eu.undernet.org:6667
brussels.be.eu.undernet.org:6667
mclean.va.us.undernet.org:6667
flanders.be.eu.undernet.org:6667
stockholm.se.eu.undernet.org:6667
oslo.no.eu.undernet.org:6667
mesa.az.us.undernet.org:6667
}
set keep-nick 1
set strict-host 1
set quiet-reject 1
set lowercase-ctcp 0
set answer-ctcp 3
set flood-msg 5:60
set flood-ctcp 3:60
set never-give-up 1
set strict-servernames 0
set server-cycle-wait 60
set server-timeout 60
set servlimit 0
... bla bla bla

But... the eggdrop doesn't connect to any of the servers above..
I've telneted in and found out that it is trying to connect to rr.server.network:6667, where the - this came from, i don't know...

Please help..

create a tmp directory in your eggdrop directory and change your config to that one.

it's in the config file, search for this line:

# a good place to temporarily store files (i.e.: /tmp)
set temp-path "/tmp"
