Fossil is trying to locate the "~/.fossil file that contains your global settings. I don't know why it is trying to do this. On the https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil website (which also runs as CGI) the HOME environment variable is set to /root, but no such directory exists within the chroot jail in which Fossil is running. In the CGI script itself, you can add lines like this: setenv: HOME /some/path Which will cause the HOME environment variable to be set to something. But, again, I don't understand why you need it. If you can figure out what is going wrong, we'd appreciate it if you would report your findings. > > rolf > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > -- D.
