Hi all, I'm having an issue when try to shmig up/down in my server and got an error message like this

/usr/local/bin/shmig: line 607: /tmp/shmig-migration-error.10521.tmp: Permission denied
error

what is the proper way to delete this temporary file ? Thank you.

Hi,

Can you tell me

1. How you ran shmig?
2. The output of:
   $ ls -l /tmp/shmig-migration-error.10521.tmp

1. I ran shmig with command shmig up for create the table and shmig down for drop table. The shmig are in /usr/local/bin. I ran the shmig command with another user in the server (not root)
2. This is the output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug  4 09:34 /tmp/shmig-migration-error.10521.tmp

Hi,

Somehow, you ran shmig as root. So you need to become the root user to remove that file.

I've encountered the same issue.
So i'm trying to run shmig in jenkins, in my case the user is jenkins and it sometimes failed in the process of shmig up or shmig down

so is there any way to be able to do it without being root ? thankyou

yes, shmig runs fine as non-root user.
