[cobalt-users] PHP uploading problem on RaQ3 fopen

[chae <chae@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yah,

I've just had a customer move their hosting from another provider to us.

The customer has a mysql database set-up with PHP scripting, now on one of 
the pages they have a file upload routine, when the routine is run we get 
the following error...

Unable to move file from tmp.
./db_images/bouquets/test_heliconia.jpg/tmp/php0p0CsQ test_heliconia.jpg 
File open failed

Everything else seems to be working okay except the file uploading. I've 
had a root through the archive and there was something similar back in 2000 
but since then there have been many RAQ Patches and updates plus a PHP update.

I've checked the php.ini and that has the following:

allow_url_fopen = On
open_basedir = /home/sites
file_uploads = On
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

No FrontPage so all folders in users ownership. Did see somewhere that on 
one of the Cobalt updates the /tmp folder changed and it's now a sym link 
which apparently Apache does like ? The other thing (be gentle just a 
learner with PHP & MySQL) is I've checked the tmp folder which is really 
/home/tmp and none of the files that we have tested has actually been 
uploaded or gone into the tmp folder.

Is this a permissions thing on the Cobalt?
Is it a PHP thing?
Does the customer have to specify a folder within his web/XXX space to 
upload to?
Even seen mention of changing the tmpinit file?

It was working on another server as I said and the server was set-up with 
Sphera

Anyone any idea your help/advice would be grateful appreciated

Regards

Chae
