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.

If you are paying your hosting fees, why are you asking questions here? Call them!

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?
