Permissions issues on OSX 10.5, Subsonic 4.4

I just installed Subsonic 4.4 with no issues on OSX 10.5.8. When I start Subsonic, I get the following error message in the Subsonic control panel:

Code: Select all
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad temp directory: /Library/Application Support/Subsconic/jetty/2169


When I initially installed Subsonic, this directory was not there. I tried manually creating the directory, but I still got this error. The error went away after I chmod 777'd the directory, but despite no longer seeing it the web interface returns a 503 when I load it ,so it seems that something funky is going on with my permissions.

Do I need to run Subsonic as root from now on, or is there some way to get it running under a non-root account that I missed during install? Thanks!

Just installed it on my Mac Mini running 10.5.8 and I'm having the exact same issue. I changed the permission and the error is gone but I'm getting that 503 error mentioned above. Anyone know what this is all about?

The exact error is this...

HTTP ERROR: 503

SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

RequestURI=/

I also had this same problem on my Macbook running OSX 10.5.8 with the most recent version of Subsonic.
I see this still isn't resolved. Could somebody try to figure it out?
