I've moved my live website drupal to windows localhost(xammp), but I'm getting lots of "The file could not be created" errors. If I log in to the site as an administrator, it fails to return any more pages at all. I can view it with errors if I don't log in.

Is there a way to change the temporary file location from an ini file or via mysql database rather than logging in through the interface.

NOTE: without login in admin panel and : admin/config/media/file-system

Thanks.

From the problem description, it doesn't really sound like the temporary file path is the problem, but I answered that question below, since that's the title. Please re-phrase the question text so that it goes more in line with the title. – Letharion Nov 18 '12 at 14:08

The temporary path is stored in the variable file_temporary_path, so you can either update the entry in the variables table directory with a SQL-query, or you can use drush to drush vset file_temporary_path [some_new_path].
