config.ini file doesn't reference correct homedir paths by default

Open infokiller opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

The {home} reference doesn't work in my system, and neither $HOME and other things I tried. It did work however when I searched and replaced it with the home dir path. Is there a way to specify the home directory in this file symbolically?

Are you talking about something like: ~/ ?

Yes. I tried both ~ and $HOME and it didn't work for me.

yeah i think this {home} thing is only meant to be easily replaced by sed or something like the rpm and deb packaging scripts do it. Maybe the documentation for installation from sourcecode should mention that. It just says to copy the config examples over. Took me a moment to understand why its not working.
