Can't find tmp folder to complete install

General questions

I just started installing Piwik, when I got a message to use the following commands:


chown -R web:web /home/public
chmod -R 0755 /home/public/tmp
chmod -R 0755 /home/public/tmp/assets/
chmod -R 0755 /home/public/tmp/cache/
chmod -R 0755 /home/public/tmp/logs/
chmod -R 0755 /home/public/tmp/tcpdf/
chmod -R 0755 /home/public/tmp/templates_c/

I ran the first one, but was unable to run the rest because there is no tmp folder. When I run ls, this is what the ssh terminal showed for folders:

Any idea why there is no tmp folder? How can I install Piwik then?

I’m running Apache.

Just create that missing “tmp” folder within the Piwik install directory on your server. Give it 777 permissions.

Hi there

Yes it was a bug in Piwik that we deleted the tmp/ folder without noticing. it will be restored in next version
