I only used up less than 5gigs of 20gigs but this errors shows up. What to do next?


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

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

*Puts on magic guessing goggles*

/tmp is full

"5 gigs of 20gigs"

Do you not have partitions?

ok, so how do I fix it?

Can somebody offer some help? :(

You can see the error at the bottom of this site http://www.certifypro.com/

can you do :

df -h
and post output

if the partition that /tmp is on is full find the stuff that filled it

du -sxh /root of filed partition

Thanks for your reply, so what do I do next?


[root@cheng /]# df -h

Hi,

Your root partition is full to the max.

You should do an ls -la and see which files are so big.

Also it may be that you have log files generated by a program that need to be trimmed or cleaned.

If it is some installed software the software should have a cleanup function.

You don't want to delete files manually it could break the software that is installed.

So first you must figure out what program is creating these large files.

Then figure out a way to reduce them.

So post what your ls -la is showing in /root or if you know what software is running there.

Hope this helps.

-Frank

I'm using plesk 2.0. I also enable web statistics.

Hi,


plesk 2.0 is located at

/usr/local/plesk

logs for database and users apache logs are there too.

You need to clean up those areas.

Something in there is taking up space and needs to be trimmed.
