Home directory within /home. Still getting the "Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported." error

I am getting the “Sorry, home directories outside of /home are not currently supported.” error when I try to use pdftk from within my laravel app that is located within /home/kevin.

I am able to run pdftk fine from the command line.

  • My home directory is /home/kevin
  • I checked /etc/passwd to ensure that my home directory is set appropriately there. It is. It is set to /home/kevin
  • snap 2.49.2
  • snapd 2.49.2
  • series 16
  • ubuntu 16.04
  • kernel 4.4.0-206-generic

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is /home/kevin a symlink?
