but since I do not have write access to the github repo I am not able to
create pull request
https://github.com/apache/jena-site/compare
Or should I fork the repo and make a pull request inside the fork?
Thanks

Hi Andy
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, the user "michaelwechner" I am using on MacOS under which
Tomcat is running does not have write access to /etc.
A hint on the quick start page re making sure to either have write
access to /etc or set the env variables would be great.
I would be happy to write such a hint, but I am not sure how to
submit a patch for
https://jena.apache.org/documentation/fuseki2/fuseki-quick-start.html
That would be great.
The website is in git (isn't everything?)

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the feedback
Presumably, the user under which Tomcat is running does not have
write access to /etc?

Hi
I was trying to get Fuseki running on MacOS, whereas I followed
the instructions at
https://jena.apache.org/documentation/fuseki2/fuseki-quick-start.html
but it did not work. I checked the Tomcat log files and saw the error
[2021-08-27 17:58:23] Config INFO FUSEKI_HOME=unset
[2021-08-27 17:58:23] Config INFO FUSEKI_BASE=/etc/fuseki
[2021-08-27 17:58:23] Server ERROR Exception in server
initialization
org.apache.jena.fuseki.FusekiConfigException: Failed to create
directory: /etc/fuseki
So I created a directory
/Users/michaelwechner/local/apache-jena-fuseki-4.1.0/fuseki_home/base
and set
export
FUSEKI_HOME=/Users/michaelwechner/local/apache-jena-fuseki-4.1.0/fuseki_home
export
FUSEKI_BASE=/Users/michaelwechner/local/apache-jena-fuseki-4.1.0/fuseki_home/base
Would it make sense to add this information to the quick start
guide or am I the only one experiencing this problem during setup?
Thanks
Michael
