Omeka Error: Given Destination Is Not Writable

On occasion users may encounter an error when uploading files to their Omeka application:

Zend_File_Transfer_Exception: The given destination is not writable

If you see this error, you can follow these steps to fix it:

1. Log into cPanel.
2. Go to Files > File Manager and locate the directory for your Omeka application.
3. Open that directory and, go to application > config, and then open the config.ini file to edit it.
   
   
4. Once you have the config.ini file open, scroll down and find the Storage section.
5. Once you find it add this line underneath the existing code: 
   storage.tempDir = "/home/username/tmp"
   
   *Note: The username in this line will be your account username. You can find that at the very top of the sidebar in your File Manager:
   
   
   
   For this example account, the added line would be: storage.tempDir = "/home/dburn***/tmp"
   
   
   
    
6. Once that line is added, save the config.ini file, and then try uploading another file to the site to make sure it works as expected.
