Manual talk:$wgTmpDirectory

Where is this temp directory used? I am having problem with the MacBinary.php trying to fopen something in /tmp, what is not allowed in my environment due to safe mode (open_basedir restriction). Perhaps somebody can shed some light on this...

How do I "deny any access from the web via .htaccess or webserver configuration"?
What is the procedure for doing that? MW131tester (talk) 21:19, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
