Topic: Avatar issues

Having issues up loading avatars, comes up with:

PHP was unable to save the uploaded file to a temporary location.

Any help would be good thanks.

Re: Avatar issues

does the avatar dir have write permissions( chmod 777 )?

Re: Avatar issues

yes it does as found that on here and checked/changed it! should of said! sorry

Re: Avatar issues

You need to talk to your host about that. That error means PHP hasn't been given a temporary folder to save uploaded files to.

Re: Avatar issues

Re: Avatar issues

Right got a reply from them, bit new to all this as had some help with the setting up of the web site, (very quick with he's fingers wink ) so not sure what this means?:(

"Firstly create a 'tmp' directory in your webspace and then set the permsissions for this directory by Chmodding it to 777 (you can create directories by right clicking on mouse and add new directory).

Please could you then login to your MyPANEL and access the Advanced tab -> PHP Settings and from here you will be able to assign the upload_tmp_dir. Please repeat this for sessions_save_path as well and then allow upto 12hrs for our Apache webserver to reboot - afterwhich it should work fine for you.

Please make sure you state absolute paths as opposed to relative paths in your code".

1. Whats a 'tmp' directory?
2. How do I make one?
3. How do I upload it with and where does it go??

Thanks again
