Hey there vBer's,

I can't seem to upload files to my forum. When I post a new thread and click "manage attachments" and upload, both from my computer and from a link it gives me this error :

"Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file"

Any ideas?

I have a folder called /tmp in my /forum directory, that is CHMODed to 1777 and my PHP SAFE MODE is OFF in my vBulletin Options.

I can't understand why it's not working!

Thanks everybody :)
 
Now I'm receiving this message ;:

"Upload of file failed."

No reason why, just, failed. I'm trying to upload a 3.13 MB ZIP file, and ZIP files are set to 2.0 GB MAX, so there should be no problem! *headwall*
 
you are getting this error becausemaybe you can´t upload such a big file to your database .. when you upload a file , it is first putten in database then you manually move it to filesystem but still the callback is from database so you can´t upload such a huge file to database. SO, according to me that´s why you getting this error ..

to check if I am right ...
Upload a small file with a size not more than 100 kb.
 
So how do I upload things that are like 512 MB, because 100 KB is really small.

I want it to be uploaded directly to my server, not to the database.
 
Do you own the server or are you on a hosting server

you can´t upload too big files like 512mb or 1 gb .. but u can upload files like 5mb or what you server allows .... to know how much the server allows ..
go to phpmyadmin -> import -> in front of upload the db the total amount you can upload is written and so much you can upload at one time :D

Okay,

I have CHModded the folder to just 777.

The way it is setup currently is -

Root > Videos (is where I'm storing the videos I want uploaded)

AND

Root > Forum > tmp (which is where I want the temp files to be written to when I post a thread with an attachment.)

My question is, why do I keep getting errors that it can't write the temp file?
 
It must be something in the settings that isn't correct.

Because when I try to upload the file, it says uploading file please wait for like 2 minutes, the says upload of file failed.

if you want to callback videos so forget it .. you can´t do that but you can put links to videos which can be download by users

i already told you all the files are call from database so you can´t upload any file to filesystem

Okay,

I think I've confused you, and I'm definately confused by what your saying.

What I WANT is to attach a 500MBish file to my thread, because I want to know how many people have downloaded it, AND, I only want a certain usergroup to have access to it.

How is this possible?
 
I just don't get it because it's allowing me to upload .jpg and .gif files, and it's storing them in my /tmp folder. But it refuses to upload a zip file. Even a zip file with a simple .txt document in it!

HELP PLEASE
