    Temp Files Not Found When Deployed to Load Balanced Server

    I am fairly sure the issue I am experiencing getting the demos to run on my server is due to the server being a load balanced linux server.
     
    The error I get when running the demos occurs once the progress indicator gets to 100% and is as follows:
     
    Unable to find file de604f2a-e96f-c0bc-3cda-56ac3ce1b27b in /tmp/uploadertemp
     
    Hopefully you have encountered this problem before and have a solution for dealing with load balanced servers as it would I would prefer not to have to switch to a different hosting package.
     
    I have emailed support with the FTP details of my site in the event that this will help them deal with the problem.

    Hi mediakitchen,
     
    In web farm environments, the TempDirectory that you specify must map to a central location, which is saved to by all servers in the farm. This can be done using a virtual directory that maps to a common shared folder on the network.  
     
    What I mean the TempDirectory setting is
     
    $uploader->TempDirectory="/temp";
     
    Regards,

    Thanks Ken for the reply
     
    Unfortunately I am still having problems with this. It is definitely related to the balanced web server as I set up just a standard linux hosting account and the demo file works fine.
     
    The hosting company insisted it should work fine with just the "/tmp" folder but my tests do not back this up.
     
    This is what I added: 
     
    $uploader->TempDirectory="/tmp";
     
     
    Curious as to how a standard upload script works fine on the balanced server but the php file uploader doesn't.
     
    I may have to move my clients site to a standard server in order to use your script but would prefer to keep it on the balanced server.
