I am having exact issue. I am using GoDaddy as host and am getting missing temporary folder issue (wordpres 3.2.1) when I try to upload an image. This is happening on all installs of this version (I have loaded onto a couple different directories with same result).

Interesting..for the record, I was able to get the pictures up using the plug-in “add from server”…It’s a work-around, and takes more effort, but it works!
same issue here, it’s affecting 40+ WordPress installs on my godaddy account and it happened over night. I didn’t do any modification on the server. What caused this and how can it be fixed? I won’t modify every website so hopefully there’s a general fix, if a godaddy rep sees this fast, you better provide a fix please or I will move over 50 domains + hosting away …
also getting this error: The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/content/…/wp-content/uploads/2011/10.
so I cannot upload Media or install a new themes. gotta love godaddy when they make you surprises like this … and moreover after opening a trouble ticket, they just told me that they don’t support third party applications and that I should search on my favorite search engine for a solution … Bravo Godaddy!!! What a service !!
I just fixed my problem. I removed ‘php5.ini’ I noticed that I started having problems around the same time that that file had a time stamp. I moved it to another folder to test out my theory. WordPress began to upload properly so I removed it. I have it saved (just in case) but it seems counter productive.
I have the same issue. Where do I find the ‘php5.ini’ ?? Where do I remove it from? Thanks!
Do we know where to find this php5.ini?? I started having issues this week. Today is my first time uploading since about Monday but I see the “missing temporary folder” today 🙁 Go Daddy has been of no assistance…heck I can’t even get the newer WP to update. They’ve gone through two so far and I’m stuck on the first lol.
The php5.ini file is in the root. There should be a php.ini file already there so if there is more than one, move the one(s) so that it’s not in the root and that should fix your problem. I say move it b/c if anything else breaks it may be better to have the newer ini file instead of the older one.
Solved by adding the following line in the php.ini file:
upload_tmp_dir=/tmp/
