Unknown error while starting Eggdrop

Be adviced that neither nickserv or vhosts are part of the irc standard, and their availability varies greatly between different networks (if available at all).
As for the #Help channel, this channel may or may not be operated by representatives for the network or server used. Best would probably be to check the Motd from the server for any details on supported services or support contact.
Some networks, such as IrcNet, do not support vhosting or masquerading at all; (possibly with the exception of anonymous mode on !channels and &channels as provided in RFC2811).

get a vhost once you register your and your bot's nick.

/msg nickserv help register
/join #vhost
or the below if the above is unavailable
/join #help
ask the Ops for help with registering and/or vhosts

or, use a IRC server that uses "host masking" like Rizon.
some hosts get completely masked (seemingly random numbers/letters), while others only the IP part is (they will know your ISP name and maybe your city/state, but NOT your IP).

Glad you solved your problem.
First time is a big hurdle (I had tons of problems), but now I write/edit TCL scripts for my eggdrop bot.

That's just the way IRC has been working since the begining.

I assume you'd rather not have the actual trigger posted here, so I'll use the more generic "myword" instead for this example:

Code:

...unbind msg - hello *msg:hellobind msg - myword *msg:hello...

In this case, you'd have to send the word "myword" to your bot instead of "hello":

/msg Botworm myword
(Bot responds with a few lines of text telling you that you're the new owner of the bot and so on)
/msg Botworm pass topsecret

I see now that you've changed the "hello"-binding;
That means you'll have to use the new word when creating your owner account as well - "/msg BOTNAME hello" will not work anymore.
As for the rest of your config-file, it looks fine enough

One more thing; if you use the following command when starting your eggdrop, it will verify that there is no eggdrop already running:

Code:

if [ -f pid.Botworm ] && ps -p `head -n1 pid.Botworm`; then echo "Eggdrop is already running"; else ./eggdrop rwpc.conf; fi

Then I am unfortunately running very low on ideas...
Since your eggdrop is able to create logfiles, there would be no filesystem permission issues to prevent userfile generation.

Possibly, check these settings:

hourly-updates - Specifies at which point, during the hour, that the user file is saved.
Setting this to 15 means the user file gets written/saved/created at 0:15, 1:15, 2:15, 3:15, 4:15, 5:15 ... 23:15, etc.
Make sure that you've already "greeted" your bot before this, and it remains running (present in the channel) until you're well past this time.
quiet-save - Setting this to "0" instructs your eggdrop to write a notice in the logfiles each time it tries to save the user file.
Keep this set to 0, and check your logs for any signs of the user file being saved.

Also check your logfiles for any warnings such as "Could not write XXX file!"

When I type
./eggdrop rwpc.conf

Botworm <-- this joins Channel, I don't shut it down, unless I reboot my server , then i have to again type
./eggdrop rwpc.conf

so that Bot should enter room

Trying to craft a userfile by hand really does not solve any issues; if it can't create it at first, it most likely will not be able to save changes to it in the future.

I'm still wondering if you're not simply trying to start your eggdrop over and over while it's still running...
Could you please confirm whether you actively shut down your bot or not between the times you start it?
