One way to work around this is by passing a writable directory path to the -C parameter of msfweb. This can crop up if you install the Framework as one user and then try to run it as another (yes, I suck at win32 packaging). Check the permissions of the Program Files\Metasploit Framework\home directory and make sure your current user has write access. -HD On Saturday 06 August 2005 10:52, mmiller at hick.org wrote:

The issue I have is when launching MSFWeb it fails and provides the following message: "+----=[ Metasploit Framework Web Interface (127.0.0.1:55555) ERROR: the specified cache directory is not accessible: Permission denied"This sounds like a cygwin permissions problem. msfweb attempts to create a directory (%HOME%/.msf/msfweb). It sounds like access is denied to the %HOME%/.msf directory for one reason or another. Are you using a previously existing cygwin install or are you using the one that came packaged with Metasploit? Also, did you install Metasploit as a privileged or non-privileged user. I seem to recall that having been an issue in the past, but it may just be my memory playing tricks on me.
