ERROR in controller [/home/dstone/sketchy/sketchy/controllers/controller.py:210]:

[Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Mar/2015 12:23:03] "GET /eager?url=http://google.com&type=sketch HTTP/1.1" 406 -

I added a new line in the exception catching code to print the only path referenced in the code in this code block (app.config['LOCAL_STORAGE_FOLDER']) which in this case resolves to /home/dstone/sketchy/files
There are no symbolic links that are a part of or within this path.

Any help would be much appreciated.

How many files are in /home/dstone/sketchy/files?

Can you run:

find -L /home/dstone/sketchy/files >/dev/null

And send me the output (if there is any)?

Also, try changing your LOCAL_STORAGE_FOLDER temporarily and see if that resolves the issue.
