Topic: Editing php.ini - The proper way.

[judgej]

Assuming you now know how to do this, I would ask "why"?

What you are doing here seems like it could be dangerous to the security of your server, and at best, is likely to be unnecessary.

I suspect you are using an application that [wrongly] does a direct copy of an uploaded file to another directory? phpBB perhaps? If so, then there are other threads that describe how to deal with this.

No-one is going to stop you doing this, but I would recommend you seriously think it through. You may well be introducing a serious problem as a result of trying to work around a problem that could be solved other ways.

I'll be damned.

You were absolutely correct, I did the phptest (see it at www.internettet.org), and it show all the right values and settings.

But Joomla still insists that /tmp/ is the place for tmp stuff.

The reason I have not installed joomla from Dungog is that I had not heard about the site until yesterday. So I am just running a standard Joomla install.  Which is working fine, except from the /tmp/ stuff.

Search for php open_basedir for how to use /tmp Its a db command.
