RE: [Sandweb-users] cvs commit error: Failed to create temporary file ....

[Allan M. <AM...@kc...>]

Hi Rob

I have fixed the problem yesterday by using the SetEnv directive in apache.
Strange though cause I have set the environment variable in the .profile
(user default shell is bash) file for the user apache runs as and also in
/etc/profile. Also, yes it does work when I su to the user apache runs as
and perform a cvs commit manually. Thanks for your response.

Happy NY

Hi Allan,


Since this is a CVS error (and I haven't seen it with SandWeb on Solaris or
Linux before) I would normally point you somewhere like:

http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom/cache/365.html

However Apache's TMPDIR is already set, odd.

What if you do "su - apache" (or nobody, whoever Apache runs as) and
try to run the CVS command? Does that work?

Also how is TMPDIR being set for Apache's account exactly?
