I'm _really_ sorry for my late response, I've been far too busy and this issue is about my fork and so should be there and not here. ^^

My Fork is a multi-process version which needs two PHP processes running (wildbot.php and PWorkhorse.php to get the bot up and running, this is what the socketName => 'bot.socket' is for. It's a socket name which both sides will try to communicate on.
My version reduces CPU load by using a socket_select and also reduces the chance of PINGing out due to a slow command, as the front end is free to service requests while the back end works on a request.

My version also has a lot of other nice features not found in the main version here, such as the ability to kill the back end and reload it to install new plug-ins, patch bugs, etc., without having to make the bot leave the channel.

The version on my Multi-Process branch is still very in test (hence the TEST lines everywhere in the output above). It's usable though and I have a bot running 24/7 using the Multi-Process code on freenode.

I should really get around to updating my Multi-Process branch and readme, but work is really taking its toll at the moment. I only pushed the Multi-Process branch as a friend wanted to see my progress with making it multi-process, it was never ready for shipping as such but it works quite well.

NOW, getting to your question, my fork communicates from front to back end via a UNIX socket only at the moment rendering it Linux/Mac only or Windows with Cygwin using Cygwin's PHP.
The error you are receiving is because it's trying to create a UNIX socket on Windows, which doesn't natively exist.

I'm sorry for the problems this causes and in future I should make it use an HTTP socket if it fails to bind over the UNIX socket for Windows without Cygwin.

Thank you for your respond, to be fair I was also really busy. I would love to see this project growing, but that is up to you. Sorry for my bad English.
