Can't upload files or images
Hello,
I’m having trouble uploading files and images. I get the message:
“Temporary directory undefined, please update your Advanced Preferences.”
The temp directory is defined (/home/katiehnet/public_html/textpattern/tmp) and set to 777.
I tried the upload.php file that was suggested in another post an got the following:
array(1) {
[“myfile”]=>
array(5) {
[“name”]=>
string(28) “KatieWeb_HOME_revised_03.jpg”
[“type”]=>
string(0) “”
[“tmp_name”]=>
string(0) “”
[“error”]=>
int(6)
[“size”]=>
int(0)
}
}
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Re: Can't upload files or images
It’s not the TXP temporary directory that it is referring to (even though the error message says so), but the temporary directory where PHP stores it’s temporary files. Ask your webhost where that temporary directory should be, perhaps you erased it by mistake.

Re: Can't upload files or images
Many thanks, Ruud.
I did a little digging around my host control panel and it seems upload_tmp_dir defaults to a “central server” tmp folder (I guess outside of the writable webspace?). I’ve changed it to a folder in the root directory. Hopefully this will sort it – I’ll find out in 12 hours when the server is rebooted.
Cheers,
Jon
Edit :
That was a quick 12 hours :-)
Problem fixed – thanks again!
