Lana if that is happening to you then you must have a permission problem in the /home/user/.yappari directory, and Yappari can't access it. What I would try is, AS USER (not as root), type this: (Quit Yappari first of course) rm -r /home/user/.yappari mkdir -p /home/user/.yappari/logs And then restart Yappari and try again.
