/tmp is too small to download backup form server

[stefanoostwegel]

Hi All,

I wish to download a backup from my server repository to my computer.
As soon as i do that, i recieve an error.
It seemend that the /tmp folder is too small.
It is only a 500 MB partition.

I have tried changing the following:
in file /etc/psa/psa.conf
change line:
# Backups directory
DUMP_D /storage/psa/dumps
DUMP_TMP_D /tmp

Where i changed DUMP_TMP_D to /backup
Then i did /etc/init.d/psa restart
As soon as i did that, i could press the download button on the server repository, but then i got the error in my browser 'file not found'.
I did change the folder permission to 777
Any suggestions how i can change the tmp folder to some other place? Have i created a bad directory with /backup?

Thank you!

Make sure that you have absolutely the same permissions and owners like /tmp directory:

# stat /tmp
File: `/tmp'
Size: 16384 Blocks: 32 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 18h/24d Inode: 34804519 Links: 3
Access: (1777/drwxrwxrwt) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

Taking a look at my stat, this is what i get in erturn.
Is this correct or does it need any change?

File: `/backup'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 3497473 Links: 3
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

File: `/tmp'
Size: 12288 Blocks: 24 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: fd02h/64770d Inode: 2 Links: 4
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

Correct permission is

Access: (1777/drwxrwxrwt)

but not

Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx)

So, change it with

# chmod 1777 /backup

I did change the folders permission, but then again, when i try to download the backup, it still gives me the rror "coul not find file or directory".
That is net a legit Plesk error, just a browser error by Chrome.
If i check the /backup folder it actually has a dumpXXXXX.tar file, supposed to be my backup file.
Why won't it be downloaded?
