means you used up all the space.

either ask host to add more space (you will probably have to pay for this)

or delete useless shit that doesnt need to be there.

What ShareShiz said

Thank you for your reply!

But I only have 13MB in there.
I think that I the backup system that is causing this... What do you think guys?

Hmmmm I was wrong, this is a different partition

I entered in that directory and saw many this:
sess xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...
sess xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...
sess xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...
sess xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...

can I delete them?

Go ahead . It will kick some running tasks but stop the errors for a little while.

You need to determine how much space is allocated to everything and reallocate some of the excess to the tmp folder.

your tmp directory is filled with session files

rm -rf /var/tmp/*

Correction, rm -rf /var/tmp/*

But yeah, clearing your temp will help.

lol that's what he said.

Also If you just want to delete the session files do this:

rm -rf /var/tmp/sess*

Also I suggest making your /tmp partition bigger. Try making it 1g. There are tons of tutorials :

This shows you increase ur tmp to 1 gig and also to secure your /tmp directory from malicious programs that could run there.
