migrating from root user install to another user -EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/root/.openclaw/
✅Solved
Hi, i am on OpenClaw 2026.2.6-3
recently moved my .opencalw to /home/username/.openclaw and i have this error: '/root/.openclaw/agents/claw/sessions'.
Logs: openclaw logs --follow
where in config do i set this? i have changed the workplace setting for this, but not sure about sessions?
