[Radiant] About "couldn't find HOME environment" problem

[Adrian Madrid]

John,

I had this very same problem last night and the only way to solve it
was to use a line just like you suggested:

ENV['HOME'] = '/home/xyz/'

My environment is Litespeed 3.03 running on Centos. Took me a while to
figure it out. Maybe a _gotcha_ section in the install docs would
help.

Sincerely,


AEM
