How to Resolve the 'File Upload Error' in phpMyAdmin Godaddy

Are you experiencing issues uploading files to your phpMyAdmin database on a GoDaddy Linux hosting account? You're not alone! This error can be frustrating, but don't worry; we'll guide you through troubleshooting and resolving this issue.

Firstly, let's identify the error message: 'File upload error - unable to create a temporary file.' This message indicates that there might be an open_basedir restriction in effect or a configuration error on your part. To start with, ensure that you've checked the Apache error.log for any relevant messages. You may need to restart Apache each time you make changes and have rebooted the server multiple times.

To begin troubleshooting, let's review some basic settings:

1. phpMyAdmin Configuration: Under Web Hosting, select Manage next to your Linux hosting account, then click on phpMyAdmin in the upper left corner of the account dashboard.

2. Open-Basedir Restriction: Try setting `php_admin_value open_basedir none` in your PHP configuration file (php.ini). This might help resolve any open-basedir restrictions.

3. Temporary Directory Permissions: Create a temporary directory for phpMyAdmin and set its permissions to 755 or 777 (as a test only).

4. File Size Limits and Wait Times: Adjust the size limits and wait times in your PHP configuration file (php.ini) if necessary.

If you're still experiencing issues, it's possible that there might be a problem with your server setup. In this case, consider checking your server logs for any relevant information or seeking assistance from GoDaddy support.

Additional Tips:

* Check Your Server Setup: Ensure that your Linux Debian 12 Bookworm server is properly configured to run Apache and PHP.

* Review Your php.ini Settings: Double-check your PHP configuration file (php.ini) for any settings that might be affecting file uploads.

* Consider Upgrading PHP Version: If you're running an outdated version of PHP, consider upgrading to the latest version.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to resolve the 'File upload error' in phpMyAdmin on your GoDaddy Linux hosting account. Remember to restart Apache each time you make changes and have rebooted the server multiple times.
