I have a working opensuse 12.3 NFS server with opensuse 12.3 working clients.
The networkfolder is /exports/renderfarm and this folder is connected by every nfs-client (Yast) to /home/user/nfs
How can I tell the webapp brender where the webapp brender clients can find /exports/renderfarm or nfs
If I fill in network files paths /exports/renderfarm in the webapp brender under new project then clients cannot find the files
and when typing network files path /nfs then the webapp cannot find the right nfs folder because its looking in root.
When you are specifying this directory on a client, you should of course allways point to /home/usr/nfs. The path on the server (/export/renderfarm) is unknown to anybody on the client. And, as every path, you can point to it either relative to your working directory at that moment in time (thus when user user is in his home directory, he can us nfs), ot absolute, which will work allways and which is /home/user/nfs. The absolute path can also be typed by user user as $HOME/nfs, or ~/nfs.
It depends of course who is the owner of that webapp server process (I do not know anything about it). When that is not run by user user (why do you use such a confusing name?), the environment of that webapp has the wrong or no value for the HOME variable. Why do you not use the sinple absolute path /home/user/nfs? That is allways corrrect.
The webapp is brender brender - friendly render farm
Sorry but when I type home/user/nfs I meant for user the username who is logged in on that client workstation.
Of course not everbody has the same name.
When I type in the console from the webserver : cd ~/nfs it shows the files under /exports/renderfarm.
Also on every client workstation
But the webapp brender in my case http://localhost/brender can still not find the folder when typing in ~/nfs for in and output folder to search

I think you need to ask the brender people how their application makes
use of whatever input you are providing. Or turn on or add some
debugging to the application.
As I said earlie, that depends on who runs that brender. And if HOME is set correctly in that environment. Use the absolute address /home/anton/nfs. I asked you that earlier, but you did not try, or did not report.
/home/anton/nfs is only possible for direct input and not for output file.
The clients have to know where they should put the output files otherwise its not working.
