Location of temporary file writes in Django production mode

[wilbur]

Hello,

I have recently migrated my Django application from a development server to a production server. Everything works pretty well with the exception of a PDF generating view that uses Python-PYx. The PyX package uses Tex/LaTex, and when I try to generate a PDF, I get the following error:

IOError at /buildMetCatalog/

[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'tmpYHNZ4b.tex'

Traceback Switch to copy-and-paste view

From the file extension, it appears that tex is trying to write some kind of temporary file to the filesystem, but I am unclear about where I need to look to set permissions. Any guidance would be appreciated....

Hi, it seems to be something with Python-PYx and writing permissions, I google it and find this: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pyx.users/347
