It's at the root directory of the entire web site. Doh...., the file paths it gave me were the absolute paths relative to server root, not the /tmp that was in my /home/public_html/.... etc directory. It now works, but I truly didn't change it. The security module may have done something.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm wondering if it's secure to have the /tmp dir writeable for everyone. Drupal gives me the error unless it is. Or, perhaps I need to figure out the group that mysql is part of.
