TD: Failure sending notification on creation of ticket #10: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:

  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/.python-eggs'

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

  /var/www/.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.

Never seen this error before. Some questions:

• Which version of trac do you use? *How did you install email2trac?
• What is the permission of /var/www/.python-eggs directory?

[bas]

No there is no way to set the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environemnt variable in email2trac. email2trac does not use this variable. Some other plugin must set something that overrides some notification setting . Can you turn notification of and see if the bug disappear. Is there something in the syslog?

Did you install email2trac as egg? (How did install email2trac?)

• Linux xxx 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4smp #1 SMP Tue Jul 11 22:57:02 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
• trac version is 0.10.3
• install

  # ./configure --exec_prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/usr/etc --with-mta_user=nobody --with-trac_user=apache
  # make install
  

well, i work around that put the following code in run_email2trac.c.

  putenv("PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/var/cache/eggcache");

Oke thanks for the sollution. I will add it as option to the email2trac.conf:

• python_egg_cache : /var/cache/eggcache

and set the environment variable in email2trac. When i am done a will let you know.

Fixed in trunk version. Will close it if i release a new version.

Close ticket

This doesn't work for me. Any idea of a fix soon? Still gives the same error: Permission denied: '/var/www/.python-eggs'

If I set the above variable TracWikiRename?-1.2-py2.4.egg-tmp gets written properly to the defined cache dir. However MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-linux-x86_64.egg-tmp still wants to be placed in /var/www Why is that? I am right back to square one. Thanks.

Do you use apache. Yoo can also set this variable in apache2.conf:

 SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/www/eggs

Maybe this solves your problem. Maybe the mysql does not read the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE variable. I also define this variable in my apache2 setup.

Which trac version do you use?

[joel@…]

Yup I already use that in apache which has been working fine for our trac install. I only just noticed this when I started to use Email2trac. Using trac version 0.11.2.1. Email2trac works great I just was concerned about this minor issue with the egg-cache directive only half working for me. This means I have change owner of /var/www which I'd rather not do.
