peperless-consumer.service failing to start due to CHDIR issue

[geomule]

The details my install and config file are here. In essence I can't get the paperless-consumer.service to kick off. I get the error below.

You can see that my paperless.conf file has the PAPERLESS_CONSUMPTION_DIR=/opt/paperless-ng/consume set.

The directory looks like this:

user@serer:/opt/paperless-ng$ ls -al
totale 236
drwxr-xr-x 13 paperless paperless   4096 mar 14 01:29 .
drwxr-xr-x  4 root      root        4096 mar 13 19:05 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 paperless paperless   4096 mar 13 23:40 .cache
drwxrwxr-x  2 paperless paperless   4096 mar 14 00:22 consume

I believe the permissions are set correctly. It seems to be tripping when it tries to CHDIR but I can't understand why given persmissions are set correctly. Any thoughts?

Changing to the requested working directory failed: No such file or direc

Make sure that the working directory in the service definition file is correct.

Thanks for replying. Silly mistake. I had forgotten to change the working directory for that file ... I can't believe it was so obvious ... :-)
