Also, I am seeing these errors when the frontend starts up<br>

SG() Error: Could not create builtinStorage Group directory<br>

I am using a user account so I don't understand why it would be trying to<br>
use /dev/null instead of the /home/<user><br>
<br>
Anyone have some insight. Using a pretty resent 0.25/fixes build on<br>
Gentoo.<br>

Do you have $MYTHCONFDIR set to /dev/null?<br>
<br>

I don't believe I have MYTHCONFDIR set at all and from poking around I am<br>
not sure where I would set it. In /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc? My<br>
installation is very old so it probably something that got added I did not<br>
know I now need.<br>

<br>
No, you have HOME set to /dev/null in the environment that's starting the frontend. You need to fix your frontend start script.<br>
