Question

I have problems while uploading files.

[error] [client 128.176.146.95] [Tue Sep 30 17:13:01 2003] c:\twiki\bin\upload: CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied

It seems that the upload script cannot write to the tmp directory, but the user system has w/r access. The .htaccess file seems to be ok, upload requires a valid user.

Environment

TWiki version: Beijing
TWiki plugins: SessionPlugin? , TigerSkinPlugin?
Server OS: Windows XP
Web server: Apache 1.3.28
Perl version: Active State 5.6.1
Client OS: any
Web Browser: IE6

Answer

Solution: changed permissions of temp directory to "Everybody - r/w" and it worked. Not sure why it did not worked before, hence SYSTEM had all permissions.
