remote control

Hi!

Trying to access gstreamer (perl binding) via remote control
over cgi
fails with:

ibgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory:
Permission
denied

GStreamer-WARNING **: Problem writing registry cache to
/sbin/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.x86_64.xml: No such file or
directory

while the script runs as expected on the console.
Can anybody give me a hint how to tell gnome to work in a
cgi environment?

Cordially,
Axel

don't use /sbin as a home directory for your cgi user, and
give it a
writable home directory.

Arguably, GStreamer should be able to still work somehow
even if it
can't write to the home directory.  Does the script actually
fail after
this ?

You are right, meanwhile I got the script working -
now I can control my playlist on my intranet using gstreamer
which
has remarkable better sound than mpd (mpg123)
but still it would be nice to get rid of those warnings.
Is there a way to setup gnome to recognize
that we are working in an cgi environment?
