Cause
This problem can be caused by running WebSphere Application Server as a non-root user. The owner for the Install_Root /config/temp directory might have changed to a user other than the non-root user on which WebSphere Application Server is running.
 
Resolving the problem
  1. Check the user/group for the Install_Root /config/temp directory.

  2. Change the user/group, if it is anything other than the non-root user. Typically, the /temp directory is owned by user root.

  3. Restart the Application Server.
