Hi,

from time to time I get this error in the apache error log:

When I do a 'chmod 777 /dev/null' all is OK again. How to prevent the need of chmoding all the time?

It is a redmine 3.1.0 on an Ubuntu 12.04 Server.

Thanks

Christian

Hello Christian,

Seems your /dev/null is broken.
Rebooting should fix that.
Alternatively, it seems there are commands to recreate it:

rm /dev/null; mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
