#1 tmp and upload folders

[Anonymous]

I get the error message:

"Warning: PHP can't write to temp dir ().
Warning: PHP can't write to upload dir ()."

And it doesn't work. The cgi test worked. There is no mention of these
two folders anywhere in the readme. Manually creating them didn't work
:(

More than likely read_settings can't find upload_settings. Check the path to
the settings.

Are you running this on windows? make two folders in C:\ called C:\tmp and C:\uploads then change two lines in the
file upload_settings.inc so that it reads

$tmp_dir="C:/tmp";
$upload_dir="C:/upload";

Hello,

I've installed using the exact settings in the readme file. The tmp file is okay, but the uploads directory is not working correctly. the error message is:
Warning: PHP can't write to upload dir (/tmp/uploads).

The inc is fine. I tested this by setting a variable in the in the upload_settings.inc file, then calling it in the html/index.php file. it showed up fine. i'm stumped and haven't found much info online. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Celeste

I too am having this problem, I however read to create the tmp and upload directory. They are both CHMOD'd to 777 too.

I was having this problem. There was no directory specified between the parenthesis which was supposedly not writeable, and the script should have been putting it there. I finally figured out that upload_settings.php was using the shorthand tags for php (<? php code here; ?> rather than <?php php code here; ?>), so the whole script was failing, thus not reading the directory names out of upload_settings.inc. Changing all the opening php tags to <?php in that file fixed the problem. You could also turn on the shorthand in the php.ini on the server, but I didn't want to do this.
