Now its changed to:

[Sat Jan 19 17:52:07 2008] [error] [client 192.168.200.251] mtn: misuse: no key 
pair 'address@hidden' found in key store '/var/lib/monotone/.monotone/keys', 
referer: http://wiki.microcomaustralia.com.au/wiki.cgi

While this is better then /root, I don't like things that change for
no apparent reason.

Any ideas where this path /var/lib/monotone is coming from?

It is the home directory for the monotone user, but this process
should be running as www-data.

I created the following wrapper script for the CGI script:

#!/bin/sh -ex
/home/microcomaustralia.com.au/wiki/wiki2.cgi
id
export

/home/microcomaustralia.com.au/wiki/wiki2.cgi is not setuid, and owned
by www-data.


The UID found by the above script is:

uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)

The environment doesn't mention HOME unless I change the apache
config, in which case the value is ignored.


Also I see:

louie:/home/microcomaustralia.com.au/wiki.src# cat _MTN/options 
database "/var/lib/monotone/au.com.microcomaustralia.wiki.mtn"
  branch "au.com.microcomaustralia.wiki"
     key "address@hidden"
  keydir "/root/.monotone/keys"

Does this mean I should be able to change keydir to change the path?

However that still doesn't explain where /var/lib/monotone is coming
from. Surely it wouldn't be using that database value?
