Open Microscopy Environment

Problem solved!

Not a big deal, but I've lost my afternoon with this... Resuming, I had to do 2 things:
- Add db properties with bin/omero config set
- Add omero.data.dir property with bin/omero config set

I haven't done that before because, as the manual said, I've done the following:
"Alternative configuration: You can alternatively add any settings you'd like to modify to the "Profile" properties element in etc\grid\default.xml."

And OMERO only worked when I did that.... So happy! Weee, now I'm going to configure and manage the service. Thanks for your help.

cheers,

Glad to be of help.

P.S. the reason that the password was stored in the under $HOME/.java is that is where Java stores personal settings (Java Preferences API). The directory is maintained at user-read only (chmod 700), but if that's still not secure enough, which I could understand, you'll need to enable passwordless login for the omero user from your host in Postgres's pg_hba.conf file.
