/Users/jasongreen is insecure (40777). It may not be group or world writable. Exiting.
I came across this error today trying to run merb server.
For some reason my file permissions on my home directory are messed up.
To rectify this, the home directory itself needs its permissions set back to normal.
Simply run the following command on your home directory:
chmod 750 /Users/myhomedirectory
My user name is jasongreen so I ran:
chmod 750 /Users/jasongreen
