tmp

hi,

I've installed Drupal on a new webserver and I get the following errors:

warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/customers/rollergirl.ch/rollergirl.ch:/var/www/diagnostics:/usr/share/php) in /customers/rollergirl.ch/rollergirl.ch/httpd.www/drupal/sites/all/modules/imagecache/imagecache.install on line 37.

ImageCache Temp Directory   /tmp is not writeable by the webserver.

I guess this happen because the server is not configured with a writable tmp folder

I don't have access to Apache configuration file (I only know for sure it is Apache).

Could you suggest me what to do ? I can only contact web server service ?

thanks

Why won't xattr PECL extension build on 12.10?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
I was using the xattr pecl extension in 12.04 (in fact, I think since 10.04) without problem. Not surprisingly, I had to reinstall it after upgrading to 12.10 because of the new version of PHP. But now it fails to build, and I can't figure out why. Other PECL extensions have built fine. And I have… >>> More
