It is a common php error appears when PHP handler unable to detect the server temporary folder automatically. A solution to the problem is to define the upload_tmp_dir of the php explicitly. You can do that by editing the php.ini file. Here is an example on how to do it:<\/p>\n
To find the running php.ini file, use phpinfo:<\/p>\n
root@chicago1 [~]# php -r ‘phpinfo();’|grep php.ini
\nConfiguration File (php.ini) Path => \/opt\/cpanel\/ea-php56\/root\/etc
\nLoaded Configuration File => \/opt\/cpanel\/ea-php56\/root\/etc\/php.ini<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAs the command suggests, your php.ini file is located under the following:<\/p>\n
\/opt\/cpanel\/ea-php56\/root\/etc\/php.ini<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Now, edit the file using your favorite editor:
\nnano\u00a0\/opt\/cpanel\/ea-php56\/root\/etc\/php.ini<\/code>
\nFind the location of upload_tmp_dir, which is usually commented out like the following:<\/p>\n;upload_tmp_dir =<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Uncomment it by removing the semicolon from front and define the temporary directory location:<\/p>\n
upload_tmp_dir = \/tmp<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Restart your apache.<\/p>\n
There is another way you can do it. To do this, go to WHM >> MultiPHP INI Editor >> Editor Mode >> Find upload_tmp_dir and edit it accordingly.<\/p>\n
This would create a user.ini file to be included with the original php.ini file.<\/p>\n
If none of the above solution works for you, you are probably seeing the error from modsecurity, try following the following steps to see if that overcomes the error:<\/p>\n
