VB 3.8.7
A few weeks ago my hosts upgraded their servers - this created huge problems with caching of posts, which was resolved by the use of an htaccess file written by the hosts.
Now it is apparent that Avatars cannot be uploaded due to the absence of a temporary directory.
I have researched this on this site, and done the following.
Created a tmp directory with 777 permissions.
Enabled safe mode upload in VB server settings
Set the safe mode temporary directory in VB server settings.
PHP info suggests that the upload_tmp_dir has "No value", and also the open_basedir has "no value".
The hosts tech support maintain - "It doesn't look like either of those are set for your site. Obviously we can't set it on a serverwide basis as it'd direct others to your site- have you tries using .htaccess to set this up? Alternately if you know what pages are performing the actions you can use ini_set (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php)"
Now I've obviously missed something really obvious because I really cannot believe that I need to start writing htaccess files or php scripts just to get the avatar upload function to work with a fully updated server?
So what is that I have missed?
Thanks in advance.
