The new OX Abuse Shield v2.6.1 provides the following fix:
- The drogon HTTP framework we now use for the REST API also allows file uploads, which we don't use. Unfortunately, by default it tries to create a bunch of directories in the working directory, which is usually not writable (e.g. /etc/wforce). This fix modifies the drogon upload directory so that the warnings do not occur.
- Fix issue where webserver was not started before syncDB was kicked off, leading to syncDone failures
