Just installed this plugin which I have used successfully on several other sites, but it is not working on this one. Each image gets this error, whether smushing during upload or manually:
Smush.it error: Failed to create a temp dir while processing http://valerietatewilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/hm.jpg (/home/digigirl/public_html/valerietatewilliams.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/hm.jpg)

I'm having the same problem and found this post.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-smushit-smushit-error-failed-to-create-a-temp-dir
I added the suggested code...
/**
* Constants
*/
define('SMUSHIT_REQ_URL', 'http://ws1.adq.ac4.yahoo.com/ysmush.it/ws.php?img=%s');
define('SMUSHIT_BASE_URL', '');
and it solved the "temp dir" problem. But now I'm getting a 1 mb file limit error. I found another post that said Smush.it has a 1mb limit on the files it can work with. My files are larger than 1 mb, so I'll have to look for another plugin to optimize images.

Was having the same issue with the temp directory and your code fixed it steve. Thank you!

Excellent, this is great. I added that extra code and it worked! Thanks steve. Before this plugin, I would already have saved for web from photoshop to reduce the MBs if that helps steve. Thanks again.

The 'temp dir' error is actually from Smush.it itself. I'm guessing that they fixed their servers while you were changing the SMUSHIT_REQ_URL code.

Alex, I just upgraded all my websites this morning to 1.4.1, and I'm getting this message now for all of them. I can't use your plugin right now. I went into wp-smushit.php inside your plugin folder, and changed the constants as per above, and still nothing is working.
Will you have another update soon?

Hello,
I have this message for example :
Smush.it error: Failed to create a temp dir while processing http://*****.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/G5090711.gif (/homez.380/xxxxxx/www/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/G5090711.gif).
WordPress version : 3.2.1
Smush.it : 1.4.1
Thanks

I have this message for example :
Smush.it error: Failed to create a temp dir while processing http://*****.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/G5090711.gif (/homez.380/xxxxxx/www/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/G5090711.gif).WordPress version : 3.2.1
Smush.it : 1.4.1
Exact same issue as itoben.
However in my case, i only get this message when trying to re-smush, or manually using the smush.it button in media library.
Smushing works fine, when uploading the image manually, and the image uploads fine, and when i checked the media library, it also indicated i made some file size savings, hence why i know smush it works.
Sadly i just wish clicking the smush it works as well, so i could smush my old uploaded images that haven't been smushes just yet.

Odd.
Just 20 minutes ago i got this temp dir error, but now i try it again, and it works !!!
Clicking smush.it in media library, and re-smushing also works. new and old image uploads.
Now i am testing the mass smush.it to see if that works too.
Anyway i think Alex is right, that this bug happens not because of his plugin, but probably because the yahoo smush.it service api is a bit wonky or something.

Bulk smushing apparently works, but after 1 dozen images, it then gets the temp dir error again, and also this operation time out.

Operation timed out after 25001 milliseconds with 0 bytes receivedFrom the log, apparently the bulk smushing is also smushing the different image sizes for the single image, which is nice.
I just wish the yahoo smush service wasn't so wonky.
But i think individual image uploads/smushing shouldn't be a problem.

One image i got this error Smush.it error: Image size exceed 1MB limit while processing
But at least it tells you it didn't smush because of the limit.
So that is good to know at least.
Besides most of my images are usually below 1mb, so i don't think this is too big a deal for me.

This seems to be an issue with Smush.it – see my comments in this thread.

Hello,
Now after a re-smush the status is : "no savings" even for the old files use before version of smush.it :s
Posted 10 months ago #
itoben, some of my images also have no savings. While some do.
I'm not too surprised because some of these images i grabbed off google, so maybe someone else had already smushed it first.
Take my word for it, the smushing works :}
The only sad bit is, smushing doesn't work for 1mb + file size :{ but at least it gives you a warning message if this is the case, so you know which images to single out.
Posted 10 months ago #
The "no savings" message can occur when an image has already been smushed once – the plugin doesn't currently save the original file size so it isn't sure what the actual savings are.

I just got word from Yahoo! that Smush.it is being moved to new servers next week. Hopefully that will be the end of the errors.
Posted 10 months ago #
wow that is good to hear.
Posted 10 months ago #
Ok great and thank you
Posted 10 months ago #
Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem. Looks like the Smush.it site is also running into the same problems/errors. Guess I'll wait till it's fixed.
Thanks for documenting this problem so thoroughly.

Do we know if this was ever resolved? Trying to "SmushIt" a load of images that I didn't get compressed when originally writing the articles, but I keep getting an error:
Smush.it error: Failed to create a temp dir while processing http://www.***.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/calendar_mootools.jpg (/var/home/user/***.com/www/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/calendar_mootools.jpg)
Driving me up the wall, as I *know* these images could save quite a few kB from them, but it just won't let me :/
TIA
Andy
I don't know how you guys but in my case the database is full of trash.
All the "_wp_attachment_metadata" have for all other then full size images this:
"Smush.it error: Failed to create a temp dir while processing <span class=\'code\'>http://domain.com/data/2006/11/2006-11-21-prednaska-kotik-360p-292x164.jpg</span> (<span class=\'code\'>/var/..../data/2006/11/2006-11-21-prednaska-kotik-360p-292x164.jpg</span>)\"
why do they write messages in to database? Can't the just show the message on the screen?
The result is that WordPress do not see any other images then full size, because thumbs, medium and large consists the error message. So all the 1500 images on the web are all of sudden in full size only.
Any idea how can I clean the database..(not speaking of complex sql query that I'm not able to put together).
thanks in advance
