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

[Kucera, Rich]

Lee,
If you able to navigate the code, perhaps put in a var_dump() or two.
For example,  in SPT--ImportDataExecute.php:
...
    $ScriptFileName = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED'];

    $TempDir = dirname($ScriptFileName).
        "/".$NavDirCorrection."TempStorage/";

 var_dump( $NavDirCorrection );
 var_dump($TempDir );
 echo "<pre>".var_export($HTTP_SERVER_VARS, true )."</pre>";

    # make sure destination dir exists
    if (!file_exists($TempDir))
...

The problem may have to do with a problem with $NavDirCorrection(not sure the
cause there).
May also have to do with missing symbolic links(?) from an installation
 that didn't work completely.

Keep looking and HTH,
