[Gate-users] Docker error: Can not open a macro file

[Khalid Hussain]

Dear Gate Users,
I am trying to use Gate docker on AWS as mentioned here
https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docker_gate.html#id3 ,
everything looks fine. I transferred files to AWS Linux machine but when I
start the simulation, it gives the below error. I used different paths to
mac files but still, the error is the same, interestingly even I did not
provide the mac file then also the error is the same as below.

Your comments are highly appreciated.

I also changed /control/execute    to /control/macroPath
 and also placed all macro scripts in one single main.mac file, every time
the error is same.

Please assist me.
