Subsonic Forum

I've searched this forum, and I've yet to find someone else with this exact problem. Please forgive me if I'm asking a question that has already been answered.

I am attempting to install Subsonic on a box that I have shared access to - SSH, root jail, etc - but no write access to the /var directory. Obviously, this presents a problem, as neither I nor Tomcat can create the directory for Subsonic.

Is there any way to change the location of Subsonic to run from a different directory? Is this a Tomcat or a Subsonic configuration item?

Thanks for your help.

A buddy of mine was able to fix this one for me by putting the following in my .bash_profile

JAVA_OPTS=-Dsubsonic.home=$HOME/subsonic_home
export JAVA_OPTS
