His guys/gals,

Great project but I'm having a problem with Mass Import.

When uploading a zip file (within website tolerances), created with Windows XP SP2 'Add to Compressed Folders' containing a set of jpeg images within tolerances but I get the following on submission. The zip does not appear in the files/tmp folder.

warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 99/99 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /mounted-storage/home15b/sub002/sc17453-URRL/lilnick.co.uk/modules/acidfree/acidfree.module on line 1618. 
Could not create temporary directory for mass import

I'm using Servage.net:
I've tried setting ownership of files/tmp to me, then to webserver, Ive chmodded to 766 Ive gone back to 755.

I've downloaded Acidfree Albums 5.x-1.x-dev 2008-Feb-13, disabled the module, deleted the module folder, uploaded this version, and re-enabled the module again.

I have a .htaccess file in the tmp folder:

SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
Options None
Options +FollowSymLinks

Any help, even a pointer to a document I've not read or something to google for?

In the mean time, I am manually uploading200 jpg images to an album from a hike I organised (with the help pf Drupal) the other day.

Thanks in advance ;-)

This sounds like a configuration problem to me. Try setting the drupal temporary directory to something other than '/tmp' on the File System settings page (admin/settings/file-system). Acidfree tries to create a temporary directory in the path specified there. Make sure you read up on PHP safe mode and how it decides whether or not to allow access based on uid/gid.
