[Mono-aspnet-list] CommonApplicationData alternative

[william leader]

I haven't tried this on linux myself, but I would think you would want
to use .LocalApplicationData which should map to a folder that is
available to the current user. That should be a directory that the
apache user should have the required access to.

LocalApplicationData    The directory for application data shared by
users of the computer. On non-Windows operating systems, this path is
the value of the environment variable XDG_DATA_HOME if it is set,
otherwise the ".local/share" directory in the current user's home
directory.

Have a look here:
