Which upstart do you use?

I hade somewhat similar problems (actually locale was not set) and the problem was with upstart to setting up proper environment (so LC_ALL happened to be equal to C).

I think 'setuid' stanza could help but it was not available for Ubuntu Lucid.

I moved from upstart (currently we use pacemaker + classic initscripts with start-stop-daemon) so I do not guarantee that 'setuid' will help you.

Kind regards,

Kirill Zaborsky

Do you actually have a folder /home/michael/sites/mysite? That seems
like the kind of folder only people named Michael would have...

Hello Kirill, 

My upstart version is 1.5. Thanks for advice,  I've tried to use 'setuid', unfortunatly it did not get result.

What I find interesting in this problem is that yesod or wai
themselves don't use getHomeDirectory AFAIK. Perhaps that's why
nobody ever stumbled upon this.

Are you using getHomeDirectory yourself? Or do you know of any other
library that you're using that needs it?

You may try manually setting $HOME using a stanza (cf.
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#env).

Cheers,

 Yes i use aws[1] library, it would use routines to obtain home directory. 

env 'stanza' sets local variables in current scrtipt, it's not possible to setup $HOME system variable this way.

You may try loading the credentials and setting up the Configuration
manually (that's what I do).

Have you tried? I don't see why it wouldn't work. AFAICS they're all
environment variables, not local/system variables.
