This is an issue which you'll typically hit when you run the test server as one user and then a production server (or the test server for that matter) as another user. You end up with session files owned by you and then production app wants to use www or nobody or whatever to overwrite them and can't.

The obvious ways to deal with it are to only run the dev server as the production user: sudo -u nobody ./script/*_server.pl -rr -d -p 3000 or to add something like this to your cache/session config:

__PACKAGE__->config(
    "Plugin::Session" => {
      store => "FastMmap",
      storage => __PACKAGE__->path_to("run/$>/session.dat"),
...

(Update: corrected sentence conjunction.)

Infact,there was a change of users when running the test servers which caused this error. Thankyou for the useful suggestion.

Well, the error clearly tells you that the problem is a permissions problem during file creation. So either you--or the account running your script---doesn't appear to have permissions to the /tmp/app/cinema directory. So I'd suggest:

1. Getting the permissions set to allow your application to use that directory, or
2. reconfiguring Catalyst (I don't know how, I don't use it) to use a directory that you do have permissions for.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Hi roboticus, The testing server was running from different users and ther is a permissions problem. Thankyou for the suggestion and as 'your mother' said it was session problem with the users.
