phpBB tmp folder

Hi there,

I’m having an issue when uploading attachments to my phpBB forum. I receive the following error: ‘Temporary folder could not be found or is not writable.’

I have a tmp and a temp folder in my phpBB root, as well as in public_html. All of these have 755 permissions.

I see from some googling that I have to access php.ini and set the path for the tmp folder. (I’m aware 000webhost doesn’t allow editing this file)

Where should I create the folders?

Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Update. I have found the folder that my php has configured for the temp folder and it is:

/storage/ssd3/329/5245329/tmp

Could I please have 755 permission on this folder? Otherwise my forum’s functionality is half gone…

I solved it by creating a 755 folder tmp in the root directory.
