<html> <body> Hi Sam,<br><br> I tried to used course_admin to add a course and got the error:<br><br> <br> An error occured while creating the course mth162:<br> <tt>Failed to create course directory /ww/htdocs/tmp/mth162: File exists</tt> <br><br> I think it would be reasonable in adding a course to just give a warning message if the tmp directory can not be created. In the above case it's clear what's wrong and how to fix things but in other cases (e.g. with sticky bits) it might not be. The downside is that a course may be created without the tmp directory set up correctly, but in the other case people may not be able to create a course at all. Also the message should make it clear whether or not a course has been created. <br><br> Arnie<br> <x-sigsep><p></x-sigsep> Prof. Arnold K.
