#Friendica Server: No access in /tmp warnings


@Friendica Support :
Reviewing the local syslog there are thounds of messages from friendica that read:

Nov 4 13:45:04 localhost Friendica[237585]: worker [WARNING]: Path is not writable {"directory":"/tmp/friendica.mbbit.de","user":"friendica"} - {"file":"System.php","line":556,"function":"isDirectoryUsable","uid":"7d351a"}


Confirmed that the folder

/tmp/friendica.mbbit.de


is owned by www-data:www-data. Seems that PHP tries to acces the files with user "friendica" any idea how to fix that?

BTW: At the moment it does seem to have any negative effect on the site at all.

#Friendica Server: No access in /tmp warnings
@Marek Bachmann @Friendica Support To me it appears you have created a friendica system account to run either the cron task or daemon.
Either make those running by the user www-data or reconfigure php-fpm to run the friendica specific pool under friendica user and chown everything friendica related to the friendica user.

The worker is ran by the user running the cronjobs, it might be a different user than the web server user.

@Peter Vágner thank you so much! That sounds perfectly plausible. Quite sure I create the cron job this way.
Will try and confirm it soon.
