Clean install - Add 2nd admin-user --> Error

[BBM]

Clean install of a VPS with DA, CentOS 7.

I'm about to restore the admin-account to the new VPS from an old VPS.
So just in case bad things happen, I wanted to create a 2nd Admin-user so I can still always access the VPS.

But after creating a new admin-user in DA I get the following error:

Error Creating User test

Details
Unix User created successfully
Error writing to %s: %s/home/tmp/testet.jrupjMError opening /home/tmp/testet.jrupjM for writing: No such file or directory

Looks like a permission is being set wrong in the home/user/tmp-directory right after the unix-user is created?

No such file or directory

Does /home/tmp exists? Because that is the error notice, not /home/user/tmp but /home/tmp is not existing the notice says.

The home/tmp directory does exist already and is owned by root (similar to my old VPS).
But they are empty in both cases.

Time to tinker is limited for me lately so I'll go ahead and restore the admin-account on the new VPS and hope things don't break enough for me to start over again from scratch )

Maybe DA has no write access to it? I don't know.
I always protect /tmp and symlink /home/tmp and /var/tmp to /tmp which is chmod 1777.

Sounds like a plan to do indeed.
I got the admin-account restored on the new box so all is well for that matter.
