#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.

Content warning: #Friendica Server: No access in /tmp warnings

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

Friendica Support reshared this.

@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.
@Peter Vágner@Hypolite Petovan : Confirm. Running the cron job as www-data fixed it. Thanks!
