Title: Setting upload_tmp_dir value in v8
Post by: bclayton on September 05, 2012, 05:25:24 AM

I need to set the value of upload_tmp_dir to /tmp.  I did a search but did not see anything specific for SME 8.0.  What is the best way to do this?
Thanks, Brooks

    I need to create (or install) a PHP application that needs access to the /tmp directory.

db accounts setprop ibayname PHPBaseDir /tmp/:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname/
signal-event ibay-modify ibayname

Worked like a charm.  I had found that code in my search but was not sure it applied to SME 8.

Thanks for the help!

be careful of the potential security issue by letting /tmp access to your web applications.

/tmp is also used by the system and might thus contain  some sensitive information. it would be better to create a specific ibay tmp folder to avoid such access.

the link i provided above will let you create a template custom fragment in order to do so.

Thanks.  I'll take another look at the link.  I am concerned about security.
