Topic: /tmp Directory missing?

[Frank]

Hi Folks,

shame on me, I installed Upgrade2 on my SMe Box Vers. 5.5. This was a pretty smoot job, but afterwards I tried to install Lotus Notes Domino Server on the Box and received Errormessage at least while doing a "tar xfvz" on the tarball, which tells me not in gunzip format, for what reason ever. A "tar xfv" extracted the files and I ran installation, which aborts right at the beginning of the installationprocess, it can't create a Directory.
I wanted to have a look at the Server-Manager and now this looks curious, the navigationpanel is gone, the Welcome Message is fine, but no panel so I took a look in the logfiles no success.
I remembered some postings on missing panels which guided to problems of apache writing to the /tmp directory and voilà no /tmp directory at all on the Box!!!!
Shouldn't there be one in the / directory???
Well, I'll try to create one tonight, hopefully this solves the mess

There is a /tmp  dir.
The domino tarball can also be unzipped with winzip and then be copied to an
ibay where you can start the installation from.

If you have deleted /tmp by accident this is a very special directory which must have the rights set 'chmod 1777 /tmp'.
