Plugin and theme installation error

  • I keep getting this error when trying to install a plugin and theme through WordPress Admin Panel. This is the second install I have on my website, I have another one which is found under /jlvwebdesign.co.uk/public_html/parkettborse/ – This one works fine, no errors at all. They’re both using a different database. I’ve also tried doing a clean install to see if that would fix the problem.

    Warning: touch() [function.touch]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1018 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /jlvwebdesign.co.uk/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 177

    The above error takes me to this line: touch($filename);

    Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1018 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /jlvwebdesign.co.uk/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 489

    The above error takes me to this line: unlink( $tmpfname );

    Fixed this thanks to a mate of mine.

    Created a folder called “temp” in the same folder as “public_html” – chmod it to 777.

    Open wp_config.php and add the following line to the bottom:

    define('WP_TEMP_DIR','/url/to/the/temp/folder');
