It would be odd that you don't have a system temporary directory. Note, the web user would have to be able to read/write the temp directory, not the maintenance user (Except when doing maintenance work. So really both need to). Generally the system tmp directory has the permissions 1777 (Everyone rwx + sticky).
Based on your error message, some possibilities are: * Your /tmp directory is totally messed up * /tmp/mw-UIDGenerator-UUID-128 already exists but is owned by a different user * Some sort of sandboxing thing is preventing mediawiki from reading/writing to the tmp directory (like php's open_basedir or SELinux) When you were messing around with the tmp directories, did the error message for UIDGenerator (particularly "Warning: fopen(/tmp/mw-UIDGenerator-UUID-128): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mwikidb/public_html/includes/utils/UIDGenerator.php on line 445") change? -- Brian On Thu, Aug 22, 2019 at 11:04 AM John Lavalie <fud...@epguides.com> wrote: > Nothing I can think of trying (or ideas found online) has made any > difference.
