Cannot run daemon as bitcoin user on OS X 10.11 #7845
Description
I attempt the following in the shell:
$ sudo -u bitcoin -g bitcoin debug=1 /opt/local/bin/bitcoind -conf="/opt/local/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf" -datadir="/opt/local/var/lib/bitcoind" -pid="/opt/local/var/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid"
************************
EXCEPTION: N5boost10filesystem16filesystem_errorE
boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied: "/Users/alex/Library/Application Support"
bitcoin in AppInit()
What is going on here? I am not trying to do anything under /Users/alex/Library/Application Support. On the contrary, I am running bitcoind as a specialised user/group for the system. Could someone please explain? Maybe there is a path I forget to change?
