I've been suffering this problem with some time and was wondering if this might be my problem. I don't have administrative access to the webserver so I've just asked support to look in the logs to see if this is my problem. If this is the problem how can I fix it given that I don't have access to the php.ini file?
This error is most definitely NOT a SM problem. If you are paying for hosting you should expect better. Make sure your attachment directory has good permissions (try 777 only temporarily) and then tell your host to get their server configured correctly. If you don't have access to php.ini, ask your host to ensure that it has these settings working properly and that they correspond to directories on their server with the proper permissions. If they don't know how to deal with such things, you should think about hosting elsewhere.
I'm not sure upload_tmp_dir is a problem. I've got my own PHP scripts on this server and they happily upload and process files. Also http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ini.sect.file-uploads.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir says: "upload_tmp_dir string The temporary directory used for storing files when doing file upload. Must be writable by whatever user PHP is running as. If not specified PHP will use the system's default. " Which suggests that it is acceptable to have this value not specified (as it is in the default php.ini as supplied with PHP). I've asked support to tell me what directory is being used for temporarily storing uploads and what permissions this directory have. If their answer doesn't suggest a problem is there anything else I can try?
- Make sure PHP error reporting is cranked up. If you don't want to bother with the support desk, install the Debugger plugin
- Make sure you try it first with 777 permissions on you attachments dir.
- Otherwise, not sure I can offer anything else, perhaps someone else has ideas
