To use Pixaria, you need to have a writable 'temporary items' directory set in the General Settings control panel on your system. Most server operating systems have a temp directory built in and these are usually in the following locations:

All you need to do is enter the correct value for your server operating system.

To check that it's all set up properly, go to the Admin area of your site and choose Site > Software Environment. You should see an entry Temporary Items Directory. This should say something like:

/tmp/ Writable ( drwxrwxrwx )

If it doesn't, you need to find out from your web host what the temp directory should be set to and then enter it in the Admin panel by clicking on Site > General Settings and scrolling down to where it says File and directory paths.

Enter the temp directory path provided by your webhost into the box which says System temporary items directory:. (In most cases the default blank entry works fine, but not always.)

Creating your own 'temp' directory

Sometimes, web hosts limit access to the 'temp' directory for security reasons and in this case, it's possible to create your own. Simply make a new directory in your 'resources' folder named 'temp' e.g.:

/resources/temp/

Next, set the permissions on this directory to 777 and go to the General Settings control panel and enter resources/temp as the path to your 'temp' directory. You should now be able to continue using Pixaria with no problems.
