Permission denied error on Lock.php line 100

[giacomomasseron]

Hi,
After many days of use of this package, today I get this error on my project:

exception 'ErrorException' with message 'fopen(/tmp/sessionlocks/819861d192fb45da5e87f7d0218065360cef03bb): failed to open stream: Permission denied' in /.../public_html/vendor/rairlie/laravel-locking-session/src/Rairlie/LockingSession/Lock.php:100

I am sure the user does have permission to write "/tmp" file, indeed this package worked for many days.

What can be?

Thanks

Hi there.

It's difficult to say without knowing more about your config and environment. The fact that it failed on that line suggests the lock dir (/tmp/sessionlocks) existed on disk, but it was unable to write to it. Is it possible another process changed the ownership or permissions on the lock dir after it was created - e.g. a cron job?

[giacomomasseron]

You were right, is it possible to change the directory? My problem is that 2 projects use same directory, so there are conflicts.

[rairlie]

Ah ok, that makes sense. Currently the lock dir is a constant, but I will look at making it configurable.

Hi - this is now configurable - see the note in README.md
