php.ini file changes in phpinfo but changes not used

[TimCasey]

I've modified my /etc/php.ini file (specifically the upload_tmp_dir variable) and when I run phpinfo() I see the changes reflected.

However, when I upload files the tmp_name var from the superglobal array $_FILES, it still indicates the value is /tmp.

Thus far, I have tried the following:
-from the root dir, ran a find ./ | grep php.ini ..../etc/php.ini is the only one
-restarted apache
-spent 2 hours on the web searching for an answer


As an aside, I'm still receiving the following error in the /var/log/httpd/error_log file:

[client 192.168.1.2] PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file() [<a href='function.move-uploaded-file'>function.move-uploaded-file</a>]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpteRDZK' to '/var/www/html/pictures/temp/tempPic.jpg' in /var/www/html/admin/processInfo.php on line 15, referer: http://192.168.1.100/admin/pictureAd...cture&theMsg=2

...as you can see, it's still indicating the /tmp dirrectory is being used as the upload_tmp_dir despite the following being displayed when I run phpinfo():

upload_tmp_dir => /var/www/html/pictures/temp => /var/www/html/pictures/temp

I assume the Warning is just a permissions problem (Apache user which runs Apache does not have permissions to read from /tmp or write to the other dir).

Thanks for any help.

In case someone else has this problem later, I figured it out.

The problem was SELinux. I'm not sure exactly what it was doing, and I had it configured to allow httpd file transfers AND I had rebooted several times since making those changes, but it wasn't working, so I figured the problem was elsewhere.

What I did was disable SELinux, saw that I no longer had this problem, then enabled SELinux (without making any other changes at all to SELinux) and the problem went away.

Just make sure other users able to upload files in your upload directory..
