Coldfusion - java.io.IOException: No space left on device

Posted by: scoopseven in ColdFusion Linux 12 years, 6 months ago

If you run into a "java.io.IOException: No space left on device" error when running ColdFusion, check your hard disk space.  If you've inspected your hard disk space, and still have open space on your drive, check your /tmp directory.  We're running ColdFusion 8 on Archlinux and this error wasn't too easy to diagnose.  A df -h lead us to believe that we had plenty of disk space available, but a df -T revealed that our /tmp directory had filled up. It was so full that Arch wasn't able to empty it on reboot, like it's supposed to and trying to remove it manually didn't help either, we kept receiving "Argument list too long" errors.  Rebooting into safe mode and restarting from there forced the clean of the /tmp directory and ColdFusion started right back up.

Posted by: scoopseven in Linux Python 12 years, 9 months ago

While trying to use PIL on a Arch linux box (python 2.6.7) I kept getting the dreaded "The _imaging C module is not installed" error message.  I tried installing libjpeg using pacman and from source. I tried installing freetype2 using pacman and from source. After each of these attempts, I reinstalled PIL with the --update option and went through the...
