Quick Cache Pro has wrong path to directory

Hi Thomas,

Quick Cache has a routine called get_tmp_dir() (the code for which you can see here) that figures out the correct temp directory for the current site.

It sounds to me like your web host is using a non-standard temp directory and they haven’t configured PHP to report the correct temp directory path (using $_SERVER['TEMP'], or $_SERVER['TEMPDIR'], or $_SERVER['TMP']).

Quick Cache also checks for a WordPress temp dir constant called WP_TEMP_DIR, so you can manually set this custom temp directory location by adding the following to your wp-config.php file:

define(WP_TEMP_DIR, '/var/www/user1234/phptmp');

That line should go above the line that says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */.

Now when Quick Cache runs, it will see that WP_TEMP_DIR has been set and it will use that for the temp directory.

Hi Raam,

thanks for getting back so quickly. I just checked my server with a phpinfo.php file (PHP Version 5.3.28):

All three of the following entries point to the correct tmp path (/var/www/user1234/phptmp):

• upload_tmp_dir
• session.save_path
• soap.wsdl_cache_dir

What do you make of this?

Thanks

Thomas

UPDATE: Defining WP_TEMP_DIR worked just fine ??

Thanks a lot

Thomas
