Mongrel users - Mar 2008 - mongrel and uploaded files (temp location)

Asked this about a month ago but no response - would appreciate any thoughts
anyone might have.

I''d like to change where mongrel stores files uploaded via web form
from the
local tmp dir to a place on the same filesystem where they will eventually
reside, due to speed considerations (copying from tmp to NFS mount takes a
little time while the user wait for the web form to return)

Is there a way to do this do you think?

Thanks for any info,
Dan

There''s a way to do most anything.

Mongrel just uses Tempfile.  Tempfile just uses Dir::tmpdir, provided
by tmpdir.rb, to determine the temporary directory.

Dir::tmpdir defaults to /tmp, but it checks some environment variables first.

ENV[''TMPDIR'']
ENV[''TMP'']
ENV[''TEMP'']
ENV[''USERPROFILE'']

Just set one of those to the directory that you want it to use.
