Patch 4.2.0 b doesn't work for me

[matey]

I have installed patch 4.2.0 b but after doing it the following error appears when I try to compose an e-mail:

"Attachments may fail: No value for "upload_tmp_dir" was detected. Please correct this in your php.ini file."

Please advise how can I fix this or better how do I uninstall the patch.

I can confirm the same message, what needs to be done to resolve this issue, cannot find anything on the php site about upload_tmp_dir?

Your system should have an /etc/php.ini file. My install (about half way down the file) said:

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

If you change it to say

upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

That gets rid of the problem.

I'd probably argue that Sugar is wrong in requiring that you set this. PHP has a default location even if this isn't set, so I'd think Sugar would just use that directory without making you set the variable.

I haven't tried the attachments, I just know it got rid of the error message.

Well I have bad experience patching by myself (was doing for self-service portal which works great with 4.2.0a now), because when you patch something, another bug appears lalter, so I'm waiting for stable patch, till then I will use 4.2.0a and we use .htaccess to prevent access outside company, so I think those secuirty issues fix can wait.

I installed 4.2.0a again, because I coldn't find how to uninstall the patch. Do you know how?

I am getting the same message. I added the /tmp to my php.ini file and still get the message.

I patched to fix the attachment issues. I guess at least it tells me it's not going to work now. =)

So after restarting apache this did get rid of the message. However, now it simple has no message and still won;t send attachments. If anyone has any success here please let us know.
