Warning: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28)

Post by Alpdog14 »

So I have installed CMSMS, like 20 times and never came across this issue. I am getting this error when I try to install on a web folder:


Warning: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

I cannot proceed past the next screen, I have check the folder to make sure it can write files, I putting this installation on a test folder first but I have done this before with no issues. I have downloaded the newest version of CMSMS as well.

Is this a server issue? please let me know.

Looks like you've run out of disk space on the server, or you don't have the proper permissions.

I am definitely not out of space only 12G of 150G, I have checked all the permissions and they are all 777, does anyone know why this is happening?

Maybe you're out of inodes? In your public_html or www directory (assuming you're using Linux), run:

Code: Select all

df -i .

Perhaps your session.save_path dir has the wrong permissions.

Hi,
If you're still having problems, here's a thought...

Since the error reported was an "No space left on device" (errno=28) and not "Permission denied" (errno=13), I'd guess it was indeed disk space related. I'd start by checking to see if your server's /tmp filesystem ran out of available disk space, since that is what appears in the error message.

Hope this helps,
Fred P.

Today I found that I have this error also. Im with a hosting company (which I intend to call tomorrow).

Yesterday I (on advice) deleted all the files in /tmp/cache after previously installing cmsms 1.10.

Do you think that its more likely that we have low disk space on the hoster in our case?
