Another Failed to write to disk

Hey everyone,

For the past two days I’ve searched through these forums to find, and try, the different suggestions to resolve this issue of not being able to upload anything to my WP site.
I’ve followed the directions of the sticky thread (re-installed all the WP files, cleared my browser’s cache, cleared out the /js_cache directory, updated flash, put the extra code in the .htaccess file).
I had my website host, Verio, add a php.ini file in my root directory (there wasn’t one before). I changed the file upload directory to “/tmp”

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir ="/tmp"

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M

I’m at a dead end. I’m not sure what else I can do. I’m a noob when it comes to all this stuff. Having these forums has helped out a lot.

I’m wondering if not having a php.ini file before, and now having a completely new one has anything to do with my problem. Like I said, I only changed the file upload directory. Is there anything else in the php.ini file I should change?

Thanks in advance for the help.
