Cannot upload attachments via browser

-- AlistairTempleton - 30 Aug 2017

When attempting to upload attachments, I get the following message in my browser:
Foswiki detected an internal error - please check your Foswiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

This worked at some point in the past without any major changes to the computer's configuration, but I have the following:

Redhat running apache, Foswiki 2.1.2. This is on an intranet where everything is accessed by IP.

All pages which have already been created are viewable. I tried messing with the temporary file path and changing it from the default /tmp, and have given read/write/execute permissions to those paths with no change.

Not an experienced linux/perl/foswiki admin so I would not overlook any possible stupid mistakes.

Edit: It was indeed a stupid mistake. It turned out some temp directories created by apache were deleted after the fact. Apache simply needed to be restarted.
