Problem: Looking in /var/log/apache2/error.log, I see many of:

touch : cannot touch '/tmp/meshchat/lock' : No such file or directory.
clould not get lock at /usr/lib/cgi-bin/meshchatlib.pm line 35

Issue is that apache doesn't allow use of '/tmp' folder. So created these:

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/meshchat/tmp/
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/meshchat/tmp/meshchat/
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html/meshchat/tmp/
sudo chmod 770 -R /var/www/html/meshchat/tmp/

Restart services:

/etc/init.d/meshchatsync restart
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
