I had the same problem..
you are running linux, log in as root and type: ls -all
there you see that root is the owner of the folder your bot is in..
log in as root, type: chown "username" "folder where the bot is"
start the bot..

I can garantee that it works

Sometimes the eggdrop's conf file doesn't create those files, so in my experiance for some shells if you create those files it works perfectly. So just create the squashbot.chan file and then try running it, it should work then.

either its a permissions problem on the directory its trying to write to (check you've got write perms for it), or you've exceeded your disk quota

Im using Redhat linux (the most recent version). I tried adding this:
set pidfile "pid.SquashBo"
but it still says this...

[15:03] Creating channel file
[15:03] Couldn't create channel file: squashbot.chan. Dropping

[15:03] === Squash|Bo: 2 channels, 0 users.
* Warning! Could not write pid.SquashBo file!
Launched into the background (pid: 8580)

what operating system you using btw? and what filesystem you running it on? cos the only one i can think of that would have problems with pipes is fat/ntfs

The pipe character -- | -- might be causing the problem. Try using the following in your bot's config file (the setting will already be there if you used the advanced or complete config):

set pidfile "pid.SquashBo"

Hi, my bot makes it to irc and onto the channels and i can access the party line. But the problem i have is that when i do:

./eggdrop -m j2.conf

it says at the end

[04:07] === Squash|Bo: 2 channels, 0 users.
* Warning! Could not write pid.Squash|Bo file!

I then have to do -m everytime i load the bot and it doesnt save my password i give it, when i /msg bot hello and then /msg bot pass blah

I am using the simple config at the moment but i tried with the intermediate one and still had the same problem.

Thanks
Josh
