Please see my comment on the ticket.

I find that these 2 files in OpenmrsUtil.getApplicationDataDirectory() is problematic:

filepath = System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + ".OpenMRS";
if (!(new File(filepath)).canWrite()) {

In my case, I started with a fresh installation, run from jetty and get the same error as in https://answers.openmrs.org/questions/1860/openmrs-manual-install-on-mac-log-in-as-root

The problem is that the folder .OpenMRS is not created yet, so call to canWrite() will always return false. Can we add code to create folder here?

Can you create a ticket for that?

If we keep uppermost in our minds the unkind and unjust acts of others, we
shall find it impossible to love them as Christ has loved us; but if our
thoughts dwell upon the wondrous love and pity of Christ for us, the same
spirit will flow out to others.
