Title: Unable to login
Status: Open Type: Incident
Severity: Important Priority:
Subsystem: Resolution: Open
Last Modified: 2011-09-15 22:09:29
Version Found In: Fossil version [73c24ae363] 2010-03-18 14:20:33
Description & Comments:
I created a new repository and fired up the command: fossil server /path/to/proj.db

When I try to login on port 8080 I get the following error message:

unable to open database file REPLACE INTO config(name,value) VALUES('captcha-secret', lower(hex(randomblob(20))));

I tried the precompiled version and compiled the source myself. The result is the same. OS is a Debian 5 standard system.

Help appreciated.

Is the _directory_ containing the fossil file writable? It needs to be for sqlite3 journaling to work (at least in my experience).
