Relative Path for storage-schemas.conf Breaks New Data

[Jeremy Jack]

I noticed this bug today, while scratching my head for a while, trying to figure out why new points weren't being created.

After running around in circles for a bit, I noticed this peculiar bit in an strace:
open("conf/storage-schemas.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

That's when I remembered that I had stopped and started carbon-cache.py from my home directory and not the application path a few days ago.

I did a little poking around the libraries and noticed in storage.py:
STORAGE_SCHEMAS_CONFIG = 'conf/storage-schemas.conf'
...
Which is then read by OrderedConfigParser, which looks like a wrapper for ConfigParser. I wasn't able to find any place where a base path of any sort was added to a config or prepended to this string. Then again, I'm still new to python and most of it so far has been from figuring out Carbon and Whisper so I could be missing something.
