Temp files issue

    I’ve tried to get this plugin working but each time I try it comes up with the following:

    Checking if web server can read from Temp Files Directory: /tmp/static-files/ FAIL
    Checking if web server can write to Temp Files Directory: /tmp/static-files/ FAIL

    I have checked the global tmp folder does not have static-files folder created. Nor is there anything in the plugin folder. Can you tell me where this folder is supposed to be located and how the error can be rectified?

    Thanks

  • You likely won’t have access to create directories in that directory, especially if you are on a shared host. Just configure the location to be somewhere in your directory structure above your website. For instance if your username on your host is “wallyworld”. You might have a directory structure like /home/wallyworld/public_html or /home/wallyworld/www. So just create a directory called /home/wallyworld/tmp (if not already there) and then configure the plugin to use that directory.

    Simply Static->Settings->Advanced->Temporary Files Directory

    I am having the same issue and I am not on a shared host, I have a complete dedicated server, I even tried a new directory structure somewhere else with no luck.

    Permissions 666?

    Yup, I even tried 777

    Oops – of course for directories it would be in the 7’s ??

    Hopefully the developer can answer. Mine worked fine with 755 directory permissions.

    I found the Solution:
    Create a folder in yourWordpressSite.com folder called “tmp” and access it with 777 also a folder “static-files” with 777 access like the following:
    yourWordpressSite.com/tmp/static-files
    ————————–
    Root/
    | – yourWordpressSite.com/
    | | – tmp/
    | | | – static-files
    | | + wp-admin
    | | + wp-content
    | | + wp-include
    | + Bla/..
    | + Bla/..
    ————————-
    then in your simply static/setting/advanced/ => change the Temporary Files Directory to: ../tmp/static-files/
    dont forget those two dots.

    Hi folks,

    Sorry for the trouble you’ve had with this. If you haven’t already, try upgrading Simply Static to the most recent version. I’ve updated the default Temporary Files Directory to a location back within the plugin. Double check your Temporary Files Directory — the value in the text field should match the Default value listed right below it. If it doesn’t, copy and paste the Default value into the text field and hit Save.

    That should fix your issue. If it doesn’t, let me know and I’ll help troubleshoot further.

    Best,
    Scott
