Fixing the “Error opening /home/tmp/xxxx for writing” error on DirectAdmin

Introduction

In the process of using DirectAdmin, sometimes I get the error Error opening /home/tmp/xxxx for writing as shown, in this case, I am importing the SSL certificate into the website, but when I import a save, I get the above error.

With this error, the system reports that it cannot write data to the tmp directory at /home/tmp because the directory does not exist or does exist but has the wrong permissions. To fix this problem, you can follow the instructions below.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: SSH into your DirectAdmin system

To fix this error, we first need to SSH or access your VPS/server with root privileges. If you don’t know how to SSH into your VPS/Server, you can refer to the following tutorial:

mkdir /home/tmp
chmod -R 1777 /home/tmp
    

Now you can check the results. After creating and authorizing, the import SSL has working properly.
