[Opensim-users] 'Access to the path "/" is denied' errors when trying to run OpenSim

[Melanie]

The function "Glob" attempts to create a list of candidate
files/directories but stepping through the path components of the
config-includes.

Your issue is caused by one of your config includes having an
absolute path specified, e.g. "/home/opensim/config-includes/*.ini"
rather than a relative path, e.g. "config-includes/*.ini" and the
root directory is not listable for that user.

This is caused by not having SELINUX disabled and not having a
policy that allows world to read the visible entries in the root
directory.

You can solve this in three different ways:

Disable SELINUX - edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and set policy from
ENFORCING to DISABLED, _or_ add "selinux=0" to the kernel command
line in /boot/grub/grub.conf

Add a SELINUX policy to allow listing the root directory for at
least the user you want to run OpenSim as.

Don't use absolute paths for config-includes.

The fourth alternative would be to run OpenSim as root - this is NOT
RECOMMENDED!!!!
