   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.
