Installation issue - /tmp access

[TravisD]

My webhosting doesn't allow access to /tmp folder. I was informed that by default it only support access to /tmp/uploads subfolder and provider doens't allow to change this. I would like to ask, how to install CMSMS with this issue/limitation, please?

The key parts of the error looks like this:

Code: Select all

Warning: is_dir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s)
/cmsms-2.2.5-install.php/app/class.cms_install.php on line 39

General question.... If there is such limitation on my webhosting, is it wise to focus on CMSMS ? Can I have other issues with this during the following adjustments of the CMS and installation of the plugins or themes?

Hi Travis

My webhosting doesn't allow access to /tmp folder.

Totally, untested here but readme-phar.txt points the way for installation...

Code: Select all

The installation assistant supports the following URL based options:
1.  TMPDIR=/absolute/path

You'll have to set config.php values for public_cache_location, public_cache_url (maybe), tmp_cache_location & tmp_templates_c_location.

It should work but you may come across some (older?) modules that don't respect bespoke temp file locations.

Thank you for your answer.

I've tried running ...../cmsms-2.2.5-install.php?TMPDIR=/tmp/uploads
but that doesn't seem to be correct syntax, is it? I'm getting the same error.
If the syntax is not correct, what would the right one, please?

.../cmsms-2.2.5-install.php?TMPDIR=/tmp/uploads

The docs call for an absolute path. In my case that would usually be something like '/srv/example.com/public/htdocs/tmp/uploads'.

If it still doesn't work it might be worth pointing us at the host's support pages.
