[SPT/CWIS] import data * Error: Destination directory /../TempStorage/ doesn't exist.

[Lee Jaffe]

I think I found the answer to my own problem.  I looked at the URL of 
the error message and worked my way into the SPT hierarchy to and looked 
at the php files handling the import function.  After a little trial and 
error, I found the TempStorage directory specification in 
/MetadataTool/SPT--ImportDataExecute.php.  I edited the TempStorage 
specification to an absolute path (in my case 
/var/www/scout/TempStorage).  The next time I tried the import function, 
the error did not appear.  (New error about my data format, but a new 
error is progress, no?)
