 * Ever since I upgraded to 3.0 I have been getting the errors below when I update
   a post. I have tried a bunch of things to fix it including changing file permissions,
   deactivating and reactivating the & deleting the folder and re-uploading. Does
   anyone have any answers?
 * Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_class.php on line 647
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /public_html/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_class.php:647) in /home1/
   public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890

 * Is your podPress version the version 8.8.6.3?
 * Please, create the folder wp-content/uploads/podpress_temp manually or check 
   whether it exists or not. The permissions should be 755.

 * Hey Tim,
 * Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I am currently using version
   8.8.6.3 and I created the folder wp-content/uploads/podpress_temp with the permissions
   set to 755. I still get the same error on update. I am currently look through
   the php files (but not modifying them) to see if there anything I can find that
   might be the issue.
 * Thanks,
    Ndlela

 * Hi Ndlela,
 * if you look into the podpress_class.php file you will see that the function checkWritableTempFileDir()
   checks whether this podpress_temp folder is in place and writeable.
    The error
   occurs in line 647 where it tries to create the folder which name should be stored
   in the variable $this->tempFileSystemPath. Usually this variable is not empty
   and by default just an absolute path which ends with …/wp-content/uploads/podpress_temp.
   Maybe the cause of this error message is because of a permissions problem. (The
   PHP manual on [mkdir](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php) says […]
   When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the directory in which the script
   is operating has the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.[…])
   Or maybe it is a value which mkdir cannot handle. It would be great if you could
   find out more about the content of this $this->tempFileSystemPath variable. I
   have written a little WP plugin for dumping the content of a PHP variable into
   a log file. It is called [printphpnotices](http://undeuxoutrois.de/downloads/printphpnotices.zip).
   You can [download it](http://undeuxoutrois.de/downloads/printphpnotices.zip) 
   from my website. Install it like other plugins, activate it and insert right 
   after line 619 of the file podpress_class.php the call:
 *     ```
       printphpnotices_var_dump($this->tempFileSystemPath);
       ```
   
 * After that update a post and look into the folder of this little debug plugin(/
   wp-content/plugins/aaaprintphpnotices). There should be a file called printphpnotices_log.
   dat which should contain the content of this variable.
 * Besides this you could suppress the error message(s) if you would put an @ in
   front of the mkdir command.
 *     ```
       $mkdir = @mkdir($this->tempFileSystemPath);
       ```
   
 * That should be ok because the function will return a custom error message if 
   necessary or at least give back a matching result.
    But before you try this, 
   try to retrieve the content of this variable.
 * Regards,
    Tim

 * BTW: the call of the checkWritableTempFileDir() function during updating a post
   is in line 1174 of podpress_admin_class.php
