Re: [pcp] PCP Startup Error

[Chandana De Silva <chandana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The problem was that the permissions /tmp had changed from 1777 to 0775 (we found out why).

The PCP user was not able to create any temp files during startup

The error message was confusing.

Thanks
