Fatal Error: Could not create required lock file on startup on Mac OSX

[Garry_415]

I’m getting an error on startup: “Fatal Error: Could not create required lock file.”

This happens on Mac OS X Yosemite where Roon when I try to run it as a different user than the installing user.

Multi-User Computer [solved]

[image] I am working in a Mac environment and am having problems with multiple user accounts on the same computer. My Mac Pro is humming away as the Roon server and we have a shared Macbook Air. I can set up the portable as an end point but when I tried launching under my wife’s account I get an error - attached. Help!

Hi Gary,

Have a look at this recent thread. I think it has some useful info from Danny.
