Hi,
I'm not sure how to fix the following error messages found in apache error_log

ModSecurity: Failed to access DBM file "/tmp/ip": Permission denied [hostname "e107.bg"] [uri "/cgi-sys/php5/e107_files/sleight_js.php"]
ModSecurity: Failed to access DBM file "/tmp/global": Permission denied [hostname "e107.bg"]  [uri  "/cgi-sys/php5/e107_files/sleight_js.php"]

I looked at /tmp folder, there were no ip and global files, but there are ip.dir and ip.pag (global.dir, global.pag) - all owned by root. I created ip and global files, did chmod 770 with no result. I did a wide google search on this issue, but found nothing which might help.

Server is running on php5 cgi, cgi suexec enabled (CentOS). Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

/tmp/ is a temporary folder so the process that created the tiles probably also deleted them.

Thanks for the reply, but although it gives me idea about what happens, it's totally useless to me. Could someone point me a way of debugging if not to direct solution.
Additional info which might help - I recovered after terrible system ownership issue after:

chown -R user:user *

executed in serve root (/) folder as a root user. I was able to gather file system ownership via script on identical machine (same Hardware/OS/Configuration/Sofware). What I'm not sure is if the mod_security issue is related with the above or it's just a bug.
If you could point me to a way to diagnose the problem (even a link to a proper place to read) I'll be more than thankful.

set the ownership of the /tmp/ folder and files to nobody
