/tmp is mounted

[sss638]

Hi everyone

Actually i have some problem in csf, it shows me "/tmp should be mounted as a separate filesystem with the noexec,nosuid options set" & "/var/tmp should either be symlinked to /tmp or mounted as a filesystem" and "/dev/shm is not mounted with the noexec,nosuid options (currently: none). You should modify the mountpoint in /etc/fstab for /dev/shm with those options and remount"

I couldn't find any clear answer for this issue in this forum please give me a clear answer what should i do with this problem

I found some way in the internet and i did them but after that i had this error and i had to reinstall directadmin again "Error connecting to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"

CentOS 6.3 32-bit
VPS - vmware

Thanks.

Hello,

If you had enough RAM then you'd better do this (before to do that, you should take care of previously existing /tmp and it's content):

mount tmpfs /tmp -t tmpfs

Not sure about VMWare, but you might need to apply extra actions to make your /tmp mounted after reboot. Check this:

Regarding MySQL try to start it with empty /etc/my.cnf if does not help, then you should read mysql error log in order to understand what might a failure to start be caused by.

They all (at least those which are posted here on the forums) are probably correct, and any of them can be used. If you want a detailed answer for your particular case, then I might need to do that myself, as I need your server details. Of course if I login into your server and configure the things, then it will cost you some money (feel free to PM me for a quote or visit my web-site for details).
