Ruby on Rails: permission denied when using “rails generate controller welcome”

Question

I used Ruby on Rails on Red Hat server. When I trying to generate a controller file, I got this error:

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-128 testApp4]$ rails generate          


        

Answer 1

It needs ownership to write the re-write the pid for each server start.

I had to run it with my full local path & sudo

$ sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/MyName/Desktop/projects/my_project/tmp/
