error message in newly installed mylar3

[headstone1734]

I'm moving my mylar3 install from docker to an LXC (via proxmox helper scripts).

But i'm seeing this error in the logs
It looks to be related to DDL as the message before this is :
Found Little Batman: Month One (2025) #3 using DDL(GetComics)

I checked and there is no html_cache folder created at all.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Sounds like you manually set a cache_dir location outside of the default - check the config.ini for a cache_dir value. Leaving that blank will create it in the default data_dir location which is generated on startup unless you specify it thru command line arguments (which in your case would be /opt/mylar3/cache).

Otherwise it's probably a permissions issue since /opt is usually locked down to root-only access unless it's been manually modified (user running mylar isn't root and it doesn't have access to the cache die location).

thanks for the reply..

The GUI shows this as the paths
Mylar Data Directory : /opt/mylar3-data
Mylar Program Directory : /opt/mylar3
Mylar Cache Directory : /opt/mylar3-data/cache
Mylar Config File :/opt/mylar3-data/config.ini

and the config.ini file has none set for this
cache_dir=none

So i guess i have 2 options, 1 make the mylar3 user root or move the cache to a folder it can write to?

Well don't make the user running mylar root, age old adage of never run an app as root, always as a non-privileged user.

You can set the cache_dir path in the config.ini to a location writable by the user running mylar, or you can also just chown the entire mylar3 directory (and subdirectories) so that it's owned by the user running mylar.

I moved the cache to another folder and it is working... will see if i can figure out why the app user couldn't right to that folder as it appears to be the root user that running it, but i may be wrong.. Thanks for the quick response!
