Error creating user specific configuration directory '/var/www/.local/share/libgda' midgard-core

[seydu]

Hi.
I am trying some of the bundles of Symfony CMF in an existing Symfony2 projet. I tried using Midgard instead of Jackrabbit. But i get this error: Error creating user specific configuration directory '/var/www/.local/share/libgda' midgard-core (in Apache error log)

I think this is the same problem as midgardproject/midgard-php5#90

[seydu]

Yes I think it is.

Creating '/var/www/.local/share/libgda' directory might be the best workaround. Error comes from libgda and there's nothing we can do.

So the solution from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683262#c2 won't work in midgard?

[piotras]

It's not a solution.

1. We do not use Gda Config.
2. It doesn't resolve issue for exisiting installations.

In other words, we need to start to use fake gda config and "fix" the problem in development branch only.

Sorry for closing it accidentally !

I think Midgard shouldn’t be writing there ! If it does this location should be configurable at run time. When I saw this error in my logs my first reaction was "Did I catch a virus, is my server being attacked ?". Hope other people wont react the same way, if they do it won't help Midgard (many people want to use Java only as last resort)

Creating the directory doesn't seem to solve the problem, because now I get:

PHP Warning:  Unknown: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/var/www/.local/share/libgda/config" in Unknown on line 0

creating an empty config file doesn't help either:

PHP Warning:  Unknown: /var/www/.local/share/libgda/config:1: parser error : Document is empty in Unknown on line 0

This removed the error for me:

Thanks. Where should I put this XML content ?

[flack]

/var/www/.local/share/libgda/config

[seydu]

Thanks, I will try it.
