Running ubbThreads 7.5.6.p2.

When I click on the User List command I get ...
Quote
SQL Error: Can't create/write to file '/tmp/MYKT2f5k' (Errcode: 13)

From the "root" user the permissions for /tmp are displayed as "drwxrwxrwt". /tmp is owned by root:root.

If I try doing a "chmod 1777 /tmp" from root, I get ...
Quote
chmod: changing permissions of '/tmp': operation not permitted

I created a new testing directory using root and was able to perform a "chmod 1777 /testing" command.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I solved the problem.

The 'i' attribute was set on the /tmp directory

'chattr -i /tmp' took care of it

I don't know how that attribute got set though.
