I had a similar problem on SuSE Linux 8.2 pro. Initially, for testing I changed the permissions of /tmp to the same perms as apache, and it worked.
I now have the following permissions on tmp: drwxrwxrwt root root 12288 Jan 23 20:15 tmp Seems to be working OK for me. Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.
