Missing a Temporary Folder

Question

I'm working on a mac OSX 10.8 using the built in apache server and php/mysql to develop on moodle 2.4

the problem i'm having is that why I try and upload anything I get the error message PHP is missing a Temporary Folder.

I then downloaded the live copy onto my laptop as i know this is working, and still got the same error on my localhost.

How can i fix this?

Answer 1

Open your php.ini file look at the value for upload_tmp_dir and double check that the path exists. And that apache has write access to it also, obviously.

Answer 2

Just to add to this, on windows refer to the same upload_tmp_dir setting in your php.ini file and make sure the IUSR account has full control/write access to this directory.
