You did give it write access to its own directory, right?

Use kill -TERM pid# unless you want to risk corrupting your user/channel files.

Seems like the problem is that you already have a process launched into the background. Use cd to move into the bots' directory, then use ps x to find the pid #. Type kill -9 pid# to kill the processes in question, then relaunch. Please note that if the bot never made it to the IRC for you to whisper "hello" or whatever word you bound, and introduce yourself properly, you will be unable to do so until you remove the userfile the bot creates when it is launched -m.

I've just installed eggdrop and everything went fine.
After configuring I tried to start the bot but it gives the following error:

[20:21] Userinfo TCL v1.07 loaded (URL BF GF IRL EMAIL DOB PHONE ICQ).
[20:21] use '.help userinfo' for commands.

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg heliniumbot hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

[20:21] === heliniumb: 1 channels, 0 users.
I detect heliniumb already running from this directory.
If this is incorrect, erase the 'pid.heliniumbot'

-------

As the error said, i tried to erase the pid file, but this didnt work out.

anyone?
