version
Default

TempDir
Specifies the directory on the local volume that the server uses for its temporary
files. On UNIX, this directory must be owned by, and writable by, the user the
server runs as. See also the directives User and TempDirSecurity.
Syntax
TempDir
path
Default
/tmp
(UNIX)
TEMP
(environment variable for Windows NT/Windows 2000)
TempDirSecurity
Determines whether the server checks if the TempDir directory is secure. On
UNIX, specifying
TempDirSecurity off
allows the server to use
/tmp
as a
temporary directory.
Syntax
TempDirSecurity [on|off]
Default
on
CAUTION Specifying
TempDirSecurity off
or using
/tmp
as a temporary
directory on UNIX is highly discouraged. Using
/tmp
as a
temporary directory opens a number of potential security risks.
