Hello all.
I am installing another testing domain with Drupal 7. The first one is running fine with Marinelli and does part of what I want to learn to do. So I decided to have another site, for testing and leave the first one to improve things done under testing/developing. I installed without problems (version 7.0 , that is the one that install my server with CPanel) and ai decided to upgrade. By the way the upgrade oin 1st site was done fine and the site works fine apparently.
After upgrading the second site and receive no errors (it was empty so I guess it should upgrade without problems) I decided to start configuring it by installing some of the modules I was using on the other.
I tried installing TOKEN and PATHAUTO as I did on the other but this time I receive this error:
--------------------------------- Error message The specified file temporary://filesTktdp could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log.
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/token-7.x-1.0-beta2.tar.gz could not be saved to temporary://update-cache-eda84aec/token-7.x-1.0-beta2.tar.gz.
Unable to retrieve Drupal project from http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/token-7.x-1.0-beta2.tar.gz. ---------------------------------
my guess is that when I uploaded the upgrade to 7.2 a permission of one directory that acts as temporary was affected... but I can not find which one. I have not tested in 1st one (let's name it "production one" but I guess could be affected also since the procedure was the same...
- Any ideas of what to do to fix this?
- Any other suggestion on checking production site ? (everything is working fine, I posted an article after upgrading as a normal user without problems)
Thanks in advance for all your help and time on this.

Hello.
NO. I could not find yet, where is the error.
I can post content, delet it, change it, I changed from the default themes instaleld ,no problem, can do the configuration task, change values, do all with the installed modules, disbale , enable define permissions.
I just can not install anything , no themes, no modules, of course I assume is the same directoy teh one affected. I have defined a /tmp outside the web site, with permissions for writing....
I will try some hours tomorrow and if that do not work will try again, deleting all, installing from zero on a fresh configuration but without updating immediately.
If anyone has any suggestion please let me know. Could be a bug I guess...
Thanks in advance

Just updating in case the comments could be of help.
I could not fix the error. I did not find what file or sub directory is not available. I delete all installation and will start from zero, on another domain, this time I will install themes and modules under version 7.0 and then will upgrade to 7.2. Let's see if the same error appears.

Hello.

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 messageThe specified file temporary://filePzGcMt could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured.

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.

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.
Yes, there it says the temporal directory is /tmp (relative to that server and domain)
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....
Is there any file or files where I can see the relative file configurations for Drupal?.
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....

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)? I install my modules/etc using drush, so I can't quite replicate your problem without switching on services I don't want.
Posting articles, changing them etc. require database updates, whereas the installation of a module/theme requires the correct permissions in the directories involved.

Hello.
Trying to install manually, this is the error -------------------------------- You are hereHome » Administration » ModulesModules.Error messageUnable to create directory 'temporary://update-extraction/ctools/' --------------------------------
That error was traying to install ctools manually , downloading it first to my hard disk.
Of course seems a permissions error but can not find where is it....
I do not know what is the real "temporary://" sundirectory.... I even , since it is a testing site, gave permission for writing to all the web directory.... all and the same
(leaving all comments here just for the archives in case another one gets the same error)

Jorge,
The temporary:// subdirectory is your /tmp directory (see one of the previous emails on how to find out, just in case you changed it). What permissions does that directory have (ls -ld /tmp)? It should be something like this: drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 126976 Jun 2 10:44 /tmp (chmod 1777 /tmp)
Also: What do you mean with "manually"? If I install a module manually, I don't go through the administration interface, but I go to:
cd yourdrupalroot/site/all/modules and then execute tar -zxvf yourmodulepath/yourmodule.tar.gz
This all assumes that you have shell access.
There is a thread on d.org about this: http://drupal.org/node/1028630. Maybe, it gives you additional pointers.

That error was traying to install ctools manually , downloading it first to my hard disk.
Of course seems a permissions error but can not find where is it....
I do not know what is the real "temporary://" sundirectory.... I even , since it is a testing site, gave permission for writing to all the web directory.... all and the same
(leaving all comments here just for the archives in case another one gets the same error)

Still on this... no clue at all...
Now just guessing.... do you think this could be affected by the amount of PHP memory asigned? I have only 128M Do you think in general that would be enough? What's a good number for PHP memory assigned?
Thanks in advance

Posting articles, changing them etc. require database updates, whereas the installation of a module/theme requires the correct permissions in the directories involved.

Yes, there it says the temporal directory is /tmp (relative to that server and domain) It has write permissions, the same of the directory where drupal is installed.

I could not fix the error. I did not find what file or sub directory is not available. I delete all installation and will start from zero, on another domain, this time I will install themes and modules under version 7.0 and then will upgrade to 7.2. Let's see if the same error appears.
