All users getting "error creating /tmp//tmux-1003 (Permission denied)" when using tmux
tmux used to work, but i forgot exactly what I did on the server to cause all users to not being to use tmux. I’m getting the errors for 2 different users:
error creating /tmp//tmux-1003 (Permission denied)
and
error creating /tmp//tmux-1006 (Permission denied)
What is causing this issue?
Change permissions for /tmp to 1777. (the leading 1 will set the sticky bit ie. t in drwxrwxrwt so that only creators of files can delete them) Run this:
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
Then see if it works.
