phpMyAdmin TEMP Access Problem

[Novawin]

I just installed and configured PHP, mySQL and phpMyAdmin on my Windows Vista IIS7.

PHP and mySQL are working well. For phpMyAdmin, everything was done until when I wanted to view the database, I got the error as below

This error always is still there even I restarted my laptop several times.

I went and checked C:\Windows\Temp but it seemed it does not exist on Windows Vista.

And since I can't see C:\Windows\Temp, how to give the Write/Read permission for IUSR_Computername?

Should I change the Temp directory path?

Any solution?

Thanks

Run these two commands if you havent

icacls %windir%\serviceprofiles\networkservice\AppData\Local\Temp /grant Users:(CI)(S,WD,AD,X)

icacls %windir%\serviceprofiles\networkservice\AppData\Local\Temp /grant "CREATOR OWNER":(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)

These two commands are for fixing PHP session permission on Vista only. I have used them to run earlier just before I installed and configured phpMyAdmin.

I checked and found that TEMP reside on C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp for Windows Vista while C:\Windows\Temp for Windows XP.

C:\Windows\Temp seemed it does not exist on Windows Vista, is it?

And I have no idea how to change TEMP path for phpMyAdmin. Anyone?

Add following to your PMA's config.inc.php:

$cfg['TempDir'] = 'C:\path\to\temp';

Still can't work...

It still displayed C:\Windows\TEMP...

I have used mySQL Query Browser to view the database and it work but I find mySQL Query Browser too hassle and troublesome to use. Always prefer phpMyAdmin.

I need to get rid of this stupid problem :pinch:

So how?

What if you add/change following in the same config.inc.php file:

$cfg['UploadDir'] = 'C:\path\to\temp';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = 'C:\path\to\temp';

Does it still display as c:\windows\temp?

Why don't you just create the Temp folder?

Yeah, it work! Can view the database already.

I am not sure why Temp on Windows Vista use C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp, instead of C:\Windows\Temp. What's up with Windows Vista on non-existence of C:\Windows\Temp? I had to create this folder manually... :blink:
