My fix for /tmp/ issue

audio_import.module comes bundled with the audio module. if you've got a recent version of the audio module, you've got a copy of audio import, and based on your error messages you've got audio import installed.

did you try changing the import directory setting to point to a directory on your system?

Hi,

I'm having the same problem with the audio import.

tmp/audio does not exist.
Import path: *

I've created it, set permissions, created it in several other dirs just in case the root was wrong, and pointed it to existing happily working dirs, all to no avail.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Ed

Ah ok sorry.

Drupal auto configing made it look like it wanted a relative path, but I gave it a complete path as shown when testing getid3 (go to www.yoursite.com/drupalfolder/modules/audio/getid3/demos/demo.browse.php to find it)

and now it works a treat.

ah, i'll add some better documentation to the module to make that clear.

just wondering what is going on here. I've tried both relative and absolute paths, and neither seems to get me where I want to go. Do I need an absolute path relative to root of the server? At present, audio import only recognises /tmp/ as the directory, and won't find anything else...

you *should* be able to use path's relative to drupal's root directory or absolute paths to anywhere on the system. you'll need to have write access to the directory though (the file is moved, not copied).

hmm, i tried all of the above and no can do I'm afraid. /tmp/ is the only directory I am able to use, no matter the permissions I set.

When I went to the Create Content / Audio / set up and click the [Preview] button, Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6652 bytes) in /home/suzan24k/invisible-coach/includes/image.inc on line 269

it looks like you're running out of memory. try disabling some modules and see if it works then.

You need to goto admin/settings/getid3 and check the settings there. I don't think you've got the getID3 library setup correctly.

looks like i screwed up the formating on those blockquote tags. hopefully it's understandable.

no that means that someone's posted a new comment since you last looked at the issue.

sorry i wasn't able to be more helpful, glad you got it working.

I was having the same issue. I resolved it by removing the beginning slash. Like this:

tmp/audio/

That seemed to fix the problem.

Thank you sprysoft -- that fixed it for me too -- just remove the first slash:

tmp/audio/

That fixed my problem.

you know that /tmp/audio is relative to the server's root and tmp/audio is in the drupal directory right?

Oh, yeah...naturally. :)

Actually, thank you for teaching me something new today. Good to know, as I'm still a unix n00b. Thanks for your comments.

bpedigo, re-reading my comment now i realize that while i'd ment it to be informative, it came off a little harsh. i was just trying to clairify why it worked.
