PHP Temp Folder is Not Set

Asked by asadmunir 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi,

I have checked if the folder is set or not and it is, but i keep getting an error warning it is not

"This folder is the folder that PHP uses to store an uploaded file before Joomla can access this file. Whilst the folder not being set isn't always a problem, if you are having issues with manifest files not being detected or uploaded files not being detected, setting this in your php.ini file might fix the issue."

your help appreciated

regards

In most cases using extra rule inside php.ini file helps, but some hostings are stubborn and nothing really help, but Joomla 4 works OK.

EXAMPLE:
upload_tmp_dir = "/home/public_html/tmp"

  • The path to the Joomla temporary folder is usually set in Global Configuration » Server » Server Settings » Path to Temp Folder
  • The path(s) to your PHP folders is/are usually set in the php.ini file.
  • If the PHP temporary folder is not defined then it defaults to the site/tmp folder. So it is not a problem, and you can "relax" even with a warning message.
