Moving to a different user
โ
Solved
@Krill ๐ฆ I am trying to move my install from my /Users/hiren to /Users/clawd. Running 2026.1.23-1.
I copied over ~/.clawdbot, ~/clawd and ~/clawd-family. Updated the config to point to the new paths. Uninstall deamon under my account, installed it under clawd account and started the daemon under that user. But when I message from whatsapp I get:
Agent failed before reply: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/hiren/.clawdbot'.
Logs: clawdbot logs --follow

Solution
It was the absolute paths in the sessions.json file. I had to fix them to the new path. Things work after that
