Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/26249 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/26249 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.2 Component: base system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: danielc Updated by: crunchywelch -Status: active +Status: patch (code needs review) change status crunchywelch Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 02 Jul 2005 20:03:13 +0000 : danielc In includes/file.inc, the FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP constant is set as follows: define('FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP', IS_WINDOWS ? 'c:\\windows\\temp' : '/tmp'); It's wiser to set it to php.ini's upload_tmp_dir value: define('FILE_DIRECTORY_TEMP', ini_get('upload_tmp_dir')); I noticed this issue because I'm running Windows 2000, which defaults to an install directory of c:\winnt, not c:\windows. When I go to the "Settings" administration page, (while running PHP 5.0.5-dev) I got the following error at the top of the page: warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in ...\includes\file.inc on line 86. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 07 Jul 2005 13:05:36 +0000 : AlberT75 I had the same problem when installed on a host with open_base_dir enabled (it should be on a decent hoster machine)... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 03 Sep 2005 21:42:49 +0000 : crunchywelch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/file.inc.patch (635 bytes) Here is a patch for this, seems like a good idea to me, works on a new HEAD install on SUSe Linux.
