 * Hi,
 * You can easily overcome this problem and for that 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.

 * Dear Friend I finally solved this issue by simply creating tmp folder in my root
   like [http://www.mydomain.com/tmp](http://www.mydomain.com/tmp) . but i wordpress
   installed in another directory
