Hmm, did you look into the system log for more information, as suggested by the error message? Anything in error_log (wherever is is in your installation)?<br>I install my modules/etc using drush, so I can't quite replicate your problem without switching on services I don't want. <br>
<br>Posting articles, changing them etc. require database updates, whereas the installation of a module/theme requires the correct permissions in the directories involved. <br><br>Ursula<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 12:45 PM, Jorge Biquez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jbiquez@icsmx.com">jbiquez@icsmx.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello.<br><br>
Yes, there it says the temporal directory is /tmp (relative to that
server and domain)<br><br>
It has write permissions, the same of the directory where drupal is
installed. I have control over it, I just uploaded a file, delete
it....<br><br>
Is there any file or files where I can see the relative file
configurations for Drupal?.<br>
<br>
Curiously ALL work fine.... can post articles, delete them, change them..
change any parameters of the themes installed.... but you just can not
install anything new....<div class="im"><br><br>
Thanks in advance<br><br>

Does your web-server have write permissions to the directory?<br>
You might have to update the entry with a directory you have control
over. <br><br>
