[closed]cms_stylesheet with blocked access to tmp

[aleksanderlech]

Hi there,
how can I use CMS MS without access to tmp folder - problem is that service provider (home.pl) blocks web acces to this folder.

Previously, I was using {stylesheet} instead of (cms_stylesheet} and everything was ok. It's impossible in last CMS version (1.10.3 fresh install)

Problem was discussed already there
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =3&t=51812

And for me there is no way to change hosting provider, is there any other way to use stylesheets instead of hadrcoding path to stylesheet files?

Regards
Aleksander

Why can't you make a directory called tmp? Makes no sense to me. There is nothing special about it.

Code: Select all

Find a new host. CMSMS does not support mod_security, and specifically CMSMS does not support or adapt to some arbitrary hosts arbitrary firewall rules... and that's what they are, arbitrary. There's absolutely no reason that they should not allow access to the tmp directory.

Issue closed.

[Dr.CSS]

The stylesheet call isn't the only thing that uses that folder so a new host or get them to change the policy on your site is your only option...

[mcDavid]

Are you shure you're not confusing CMSMS's tmp folder with the operating systems /tmp folder?

[aleksanderlech]

I'm not doing anything with tmp folder it was created during install.
Callguy's right, issue closed, I'll stay with hardcoded paths right now, and I hope one day they change their security policies.

Thank you everybody for your help.
