Wait a minute now, Robert Nurse is the OP. I think Rick was just chiming in with his config...
Robert said CF has been starting with a user called "foo" however he also said they have been starting CF manually as well. Robert, we need you to be more specific. Does the file write work when you start it manually? When you start CF manually, _how_ are you starting it? Like, what specifically do you run from the command line to start it. If you you are running a bash script that has the "foo" user inside it then it is running under "foo". If you are directly invoking Jrun, then it is using your current user. Can you please grep the process list and find out. We can only make wild assumptions until then. And lest we get carried away on grepping and psing, can you back up a little and confirm that the directory you are trying to write in is actually the location you think you are using? If you are using expand path or a relative path, you may be actually pointing somewhere else and not be realizing it. Also, is this on a local mount? Writes to Samba shares to a file server introduce a new level of permission problems. Tell us, has this code ever worked, or did it just now stop working? I would step through the code and figure out if you are really writing where you think you are, and chmod the folder to 777 just to see and take small steps. You've got to systematically eliminate your problems. I still think there's a chance you might be pointed at the wrong directory if there is no exception being thrown. ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Determining CF8's UNIX Account From: Maureen Barger <m...@cornell.edu> Date: Wed, September 02, 2009 7:17 pm To: cf-talk <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Yup, that's your issue. Either chmod -R 777 on the dir where you want to save files (maybe not so good) or change that line to RUNTIME_USER="foo" and you should be on your way! If you do change the RUNTIME_USER ensure your other dirs have correct permissions too or you will have bigger problems!
