WinDrop question

Post by PastorMatt »

After reading about the windows-based eggdrop, I downloaded it and tried to set it up.

After debugging the config file, it ran properly and seemingly booted, but then this message appeared in the command prompt....

[07:47] * CAN'T WRITE TO TEMP DIR

Anyone know how to get past this?

I'm not an expert with windrops but iirc the temp dir is set in the conf file. presumably you have set it to a dir that doesnt exist.

[EDIT] search for temp-path in your .conf

Or make a tmp/ dir.

leave the path for the tmp dir in the conf as it is and just create a tmp dir in the eggdrop dir.
