In ioFTPD's support channel, I have noticed this issue come up a lot recently. Most of the users encountering this problem were quite frustrated, to say the least.

I had one of them try an older build of Windrop (from http://windrop.sourceforge.net), and it worked flawlessly. So, I would most likely attribute this strange problem with the recent Cygwin ports of Eggdrop and/or Tcl on http://windrop.sourceforge.net.

This would probably explain why those using Bounty’s Windrop build (the SSL patch) did not encounter this problem, he uses an older Tcl version (v8.4.7).

For those of you encountering this problem, I would suggest you try an older Windrop build or Bounty’s build.

Older Windrop: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w...drop1.6.16.exe
Bounty’s: http://users.skynet.be/bounty/index2.html

your tip using other build solved it , thx alot !

this one was driving me completely nuts...

btw: what is this weird wrong forward-slash notation for windows-pathes good for anyway ??

It is normal that you have this error, because it does not find the way exact of the file "ioFTPD.log" in iobanane.tcl so that your eggdrop functions correctly. You look in iobanane.tcl at this place like below and you remake it.

I have the same problem. It worked fine with windrop 1.6.13 but after I updated to the newest version 1.6.17 this problem came up. I downloaded Bounty's version as neoxed suggested and the problem disapeard.
Thanks.
