RESOLVED: Error creating home directory in OnDemand

This problem has been resolved.  If you're still getting an error, please submit a help ticket


Your home directory needs to get created the first time you login.   There is a bug in the latest version of OnDemand that is preventing this from occurring.  Users will get the error:


chdir(2) failed: no such file or directory


There are two work arounds:

1. Email ccr-help@buffalo.edu (or submit a ticket through the help portal) requesting that we create your home directory for you.


2. Login using a SSH client to vortex.ccr.buffalo.edu - your home directory will be created and then you can login to OnDemand.


Instructions for login via SSH can be found here:   https://ubccr.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000681530 


If you're in immediate need to login, we recommend you go with option #2.
