laranzu opened a new issue #3223: superset/config.py creates directory before can be overridden
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/3223
 
 
   Version: 0.18.5
   
   Platform: Ubuntu 16.04 Linux with Apache 2.4
   
   About 27 lines into superset/config.py is:
   ```
   DATA_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), '.superset')
   if not os.path.exists(DATA_DIR):
       os.makedirs(DATA_DIR)
   
   ```
   which will try to create the directory before it can be overridden by a new value in superset_config.py. If the program does not have permission to create the directory, superset will crash.
   
   Example: when superset is run from Apache via mod_wsgi, it attempts to create /var/www/.superset and crashes.
