Sorry, what I meant was.... when you login to tmda-cgi and click "sign me up", it puts files into the users home directory (for real users). If the home directory doesn't exist, you get a python error.
It seems like this would be a useless check huh? Doesn't every real UNIX user have to have a home directory? Well, apparently, the default under MacOSX is to not create it... Heheh... just when you thought it was safe to go out at night :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gre7g Luterman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 1:37 PM Subject: Re: another check needed by tmda-cgi > On Wed, 28 May 2003 03:15:51 -0600, Bernard Johnson > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You probably want to check to make sure the directory that you are going to install the TMDA files to exists and is writable. Currently in either case you get the long stack trace, but a message like "Your home directory does not exist" or "Your home directory is not writable" would be much nicer :) > > Perhaps I am not following you.
