Error 28 / Write Fail

[tuf-web_co_uk]

Hi,

i'm not sure what exactly the problem is, but my page was working then when i clicked a link it stopped working, and it has not worked since (about 12 hours ago).

the page is http://www.theutherfish.com/blogs.php

it only shows a drop down menu on a shaded background, which ofcourse is not meant to happen.

here is what view source gives me back

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="bordersolid" bgcolor="#EEEEEE" width="98%" align="center">

<!-- Top Bar -->
<tr bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
	<td class="bordersolid">

	<table width="100%">
		<tr>
			<td width="50%"><p>
			<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="noborder"><form action="/blogs.php" method="GET"><tr><td><select name="blogger" onChange="this.form.submit();" class="user"><option selected>View Blogs By....</option>Got error 28 from table handler<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28) in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />

could anyone give me an insight to why this is happening?

...will post code if necessary

A full hard drive? Some storage quota somewhere exceeded? Whoever's responsible for the host might want to be told. Maybe they've botched something. Maybe they've had a hardware failure. If something is broken and it's been twelve hours, then someone is being slack.

i thought that but i checked my control panel and it says i have 9.6gig left

this does not happen with any other page however.

i'll get in touch with my host anyway.

thanks, Jon

Hi again,

i emailed my host and they said that this was a mysql problem, something to do with my database, they advised me to repair my database but i still get the same problems!

Are they right to say that my database is the problem because i get the impression it has something to do with their servers as weedpacket suggested

Hi,

I don't think that this has something to do with your database at all. The error message(s) clearly say that PHP wasn't able to write the session data (no mysql error). The partition holding /tmp is full.

Can you ssh/telnet to the server ?

i dont think i can ssh/tellnet the server, not quite sure what they are either

what i do know is that the page is working fine now

thanks for your reponses as always

I'm getting this same error, my /tmp folder is full when I look at the properties through the file manager provided by the host but when I look at it through ftp it's empty. There is supposedly a hidden file that's there but I don't know how to view it to reset it. Also I'd like to put some sort of reset into my script so this doesn't happen once the site goes operational. What can I do to view this hidden file, or add to my script to reset it.
