    I am using Yahoo India Small Business hosting package and it does meet all the minimum requirements for running WordPree 2.9 .
    I downloaded and installed WordPress v2.9.2 successfully, everything is working fine except image upload.
    Whenever I try to upload an image it say
    Missing a temporary folder

    No matter I use browser uplod or flash uploader.
    I searched the forum and none of the solutions seemed to work. I even installed it again from scratch but to no avail.
    So if anybody can provide a solution, it'll be great!
    Thanks

    What if you upload the images via FTP and either use the "from URL" option or the Add From Server plugin when adding the image to a page or post.

    Well thanks for the reply but you know that is a bit different.
    I mean I want to know what the problem is and to use the uploader.

    Hi,

    In order to resolve this issue, you need to edit php.ini file located in etc/ folder. Uncomment the line upload_tmp_dir and pointing the variable to a folder using an absolute path. In Linux possible steps are:

    1) Login into the commnad line to the server as an administrator.
    2) create a temporary folder for all apache tasks in your user folder and grant all right to all users:

    mkdir mytmp && chmod 777 mytmp

    3) Edit php.ini with text editor and set the temporary folder:

    upload_tmp_dir = /home/username/mytmp/

    save the file and restart apache.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    But I don't have my own server. I have bought a hosting plan from Yahoo.
