/tmp being full is one possible reason the site may produce an out of space error on project creation. To clear /tmp, perform the following steps:

  1. Login to http://awsconsole.ucsd.edu/ using active directory credentials (must be part of ampliconrepository usergroup).
  2. Click on "EC2"
  3. Click on "Instances"
  4. Click on instance whose /tmp dir needs cleaning
  5. Click "Connect" (top right)
  6. Should be on form now titled "Connect to instance", click "Connect" bottom right
  7. In session console, cd /home/ubuntu/AmpliconRepository-prod/caper/tmp
  8. Remove directories as needed.
