TMP folder not writeable?

[Cronlajoon]

Hi, it's me again!

I have also encountered a problem where some scripts fail because they can't create temporary tables or put files in /TMP/ folder since it always seems to go back to be unwriteable. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

OK this is one I haven't seen yet -
Can you tell me the OS version that you are running on, and I'll try some things out.

Thanks

I use Win XP SP2.

Thanks!

I've got the same problem. I just downloaded the latest version (1.5.2), everything just works fine, but no sessions:

Quote:Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(../TMP\sess_rb94b61qollgbn47cuaf1ntld7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)

I see there definitely no problem at all. I'm using Windows 2008 (Vista) as workstation.

By the way, when i went through php.ini:

Quote:soap.wsdl_cache_dir="/tmp"

You should make that ../TMP as well...

Thanks for seeing that - I'll fix it in next release.

Yes, in such case is solution to create temp directory in your home directory.
e.g. /home/myuser/temp/
Than change permissions to 777 on this new directory and in Settings -> Configuration (or during installation steps) enter new temporary directory /home/myuser/temp
