Stash not finding STASH_HOME variable

Question

Stash can't find my STASH_HOME variable on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I've done "echo $STASH_HOME" and I got the variable, but Stash cannot find it.

This is the error I get:

Stash doesn't know where to store its data. Please configure the STASH_HOME
  environment variable with the directory where Stash should store its data.
  Ensure that the path to STASH_HOME does not contain spaces. STASH_HOME may
  be configured in setenv.sh, if preferred, rather than exporting it as an
  environment variable.

It does not contain spaces.

Hi there,

How did you configured the STASH_HOME folder?

Was it written on /etc/environment or was it described on setenv.sh file?

Please give a try adding STASH path on setenv.sh file, located on bin folder.

Also, please let me know how it goes for you.

PS:

The stash documentation about using Stash as service can be found on https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Running+Stash+as+a+Linux+service.

Regards.

Exit the session, login back in as the stash user and see if you can echo the STAHS_HOME variable correctly.
