Hi, I don't know how to solve this. In my drupal installation directory I have a folder called "tmp". I receive an error by drupal, I read it in the log, it says approximately: "can't write to tmp directory, because permissions are not correct". Sorry I'm traslating from italian. The permissions of tmp are 755. If I change to 777 I have no problem, but 777 is unsecure.

777 is really too much. What about the ownership of the directory?

What about the ownership of other files in your base dir? what were the default of your hosting provider?
