Description Max Lin 2024-05-08 01:44:40 UTC 
## Observation

znc service fails to start, it seem to be because znc can not find config file, it tries to read config file at the wrong path which config file does not exist.

May 07 13:26:29 susetest systemd[1]: Started ZNC, an advanced IRC bouncer.
May 07 13:26:30 susetest znc[4404]: Checking for list of available modules...
May 07 13:26:30 susetest znc[4404]: Opening config [/var/lib/znc/configs/znc.conf]... [ No such file ]
May 07 13:26:30 susetest znc[4404]: Restart ZNC with the --makeconf option if you wish to create this config.
May 07 13:26:30 susetest znc[4404]: Unrecoverable config error.
May 07 13:26:30 susetest systemd[1]: znc.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
May 07 13:26:30 susetest systemd[1]: znc.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

'znc --makeconf' has write configurations to [/var/lib/znc/.znc/configs/znc.conf]

Tumbleweed had the same failure.

Comment 1 Dominique Leuenberger 2024-05-23 13:58:51 UTC 
further analysis shows, that this is not a product bug, but rather a test bug.

the shipped znc.service contains:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/znc -f --datadir=/var/lib/znc

znc --makeconf, when started without --datadir, falls back to ~/.znc

the test should specify the same datadir as used by the service file to launch znc
