Hello Vaughan, To the suggestions provided by Rob I am also adding two words about permissions. For this directory that you used for the Baculum working dir:
/etc/baculum/Config-api-cache you need to create this directory (if it does not exist) and set ownership and permissions that enable to write to this directory by PHP user or group that by default in case Debian are www-data:www-data. If you don't want to have additional directory for that, please just put in this Baculum working dir field this path: /etc/baculum/Config-api-apache It will start work automatically without changing anything on the filesystem. Good luck! Best regards, Marcin Haba (gani) On Sun, 15 Oct 2023 at 08:13, Rob Gerber <r...@craeon.net> wrote: > > Dangit, I didn't add the link I said I would. Sorry.
