Solution:

This happens when you don't have sufficient permissions for the temp folder. The solution is either one of these:

• If you insatlled JasperServer as root user, use sudo to execute the import script

• If you cannot use the root user, make sure the system temp folder has all the permissions for the user executing the script

• If you cannot assign permissions to the folder, you can select a different folder to be used for temp. Try to pass a different java.io.tmpdir variable to the import-export script JVM. To do that edit the js-import.sh and find the line with JAVA_OPTS and edit it like this:

  export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Djava.io.tmpdir=/new/tmp/dir/with/permissions/for/user/maybe/home/directory”
  

Here, you pass a new -Djava.io.tmpdir location. In general though you need to make sure your user has complete permissions over the system temp folder (read/write/delete). Make sure the folder is empty too.
