Go to "Configuration ->Filesystem" (admin/config/media/file-system), and look at the entry for "Temporary Directory".
Does your web-server have write permissions to the directory?
You might have to update the entry with a directory you have control over.

Hello.
I need your help.
I guess that maybe it is a problem on my server
but could not find what it is or where it is the error.
I installed on another site, no upgrade this
time, just a fresh install using CPanel n a VPS server.
Immediately after installation I entered and
tried to install a new theme.... an received the following error:
-----------------------------------------
You are hereHome » Administration »
ModulesModules.Error message•The specified file
temporary://filePzGcMt could not be copied,
because the destination directory is not properly•http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/danland-7.x-1.0.tar.gz
configured. This may be caused by a problem with
file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log.
could not be saved to temporary://update-cache/danland-7.x-1.0.tar.gz.
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/danland-7.x-1.0.tar.gz.
•Unable to retrieve Drupal project from
-----------------------------------------
ANy idea of what could wrong?
I guess the error could be on the server, but I
am not sure... maybe in each virtual
configuration of each domain.... any clue what in
"temporary://update-cache/danland-7.x-1.0.tar.gz." temporary means?
ANy help is REALLY appreciate it. I have spend
lot of time and can not find any clue of what to fix.
