Problem setting PHP temp directory

[Storyman]

I'm trying to set the 'upload_tmp_dir' in the php.ini

Regardless of the settings used the same type of warning appears:

Warning: copy(C:/websites/tempfiles): failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\websites\testing_server\chapter8\uploader.php on line 5 Could not copy file

This are the configurations used:

upload_tmp_dir = "c:/websites/tempfiles"
upload_tmp_dir = "./c:/websites/tempfiles"
upload_tmp_dir = "c:\websites\tempfiles"
upload_tmp_dir = "./c:\websites\tempfiles"

What am I doing wrong?

check rights of folder

[Storyman]

Okay... Is that same as file sharing?

[TTT]

same as security

[Storyman]

I'm still confused.

This is on a localhost machine.

By security are you referring to CHMOD permission? I'm not aware of setting sercurity on Win2K folders other than sharing.

Try changing the permissions of the directory to read, write for everyone for testing purposes to see if it works then.

Right-click on folder, security tab, add "Everyone"

Give "Everyone" read/write access to folder.
