Can't find a temporary directory

Hello!

I've set up a svn repo using Apache2 on an Ubuntu 9.04 machine.
When I try to check out from this repo I get the following message:
"svn: Can't find a temporary directory: Internal error"

I can find people on the internet having similar problems caused a
full disk.
My server's disk is not full.

Any ideas where to start?

Apache error.log:
[Tue Nov 03 13:28:31 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.167] The state
report gatherer could not be created.  [500, #20014]
[Tue Nov 03 13:28:31 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.167] Can't find a
temporary directory: Internal error  [500, #20014]

Does your server have write access to any place which could be
considered "temporary"? (/tmp, $TMP, $TEMP)


Bye,

Erik.

Well, ran a "chmod 777" on /tmp. That did it.

Thanks a lot
Although I don't know why access to /tmp was restricted... :-(

You actually want "chmod 1777 /tmp".
