Hi,

its most likely that the following PHP directive:

is configured to a wrong (the /var/temp) directory which doesn’t exist or which is a file as the message:

opendir(/var/temp): failed to open dir: Not a directory

is telling you.

Thank you for the reply!

I created a directory and chowned it to the user who is running PHP, also i checked the permissions so that it’s writable by the user and modified the directive “upload_tmp_dir” in my php.ini config file.

I uploaded a file to owncloud via http and don’t see the error.

Case closed? Or should i test it in another way?

Kind regards, Jonathan.
