Whenever i try to re-load an eggdrop bot thru the shell.

It gives me a reply

* CAN'T WRITE TO TEMP DIR

I know it's something related to the file permissions. Can someone help with with this? Thank you in advance.

Code: Select all

# Set here a place to store temporary files.
set temp-path "/tmp"

demond told you what to change. Just create a tmp/ dir then change temp-path to "tmp/"

actually, you don't have to create /tmp, it's already created (owned by root), and any shell user should have write permissions to it; if you can't create files in /tmp, talk to your admin and have them fix the problem

alternatively, you can create your own temp directory in your home directory and point temp-path to it
