I'm trying to install the Jumi extension in my Joomla 1.5.22 installation. I've downloaded the zip from Jumis homepage, , and followed this guide, but it gives me this error:
JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning! Failed to move file.
Under Help->System info->Directory Permissions all directories have "writable" in green except .../logs and .../tmp. I've checked in my ftp client and they both have access rights 777 (what should they really have?) so they should be writable but they are still marked Unwritable.
How do I make them writable?
The Directory Permissions listing will only tell you if the permissions are set properly, it does not necessarily mean that the extension install will work. Assuming that your temp directory path is correct, the next place to look is the FTP layer. If your server is not set up to run PHP in CGI mode, then you have to enable the FTP layer so that Joomla can write to the file system.
Also, UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE! Joomla 1.5.9 is almost 2 years old!! You need to update to 1.5.22 ASAP. I would actually do that before messing with this error, it's entirely possible you are dealing with an old bug that has since been squashed.
I think the path to your Joomla website is incorrect
Check Global Configuration
1) System tab : Make sure the "Path to Log folder" is correct
2) Server tab : Make sure the "Path to Temp-folder" is correct
3) Server tab : Make sure the "FTP Settings" are correct

Today when i logged into my magento store admin, it shown a new critical message like
Critical Reminder: Download and install Magento security patches. Download now.
Then i download SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533 from https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/downloads/magento.
Please tell me how can i apply these patch files to my magento store.
Thank You!
Applying SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533 Magento patches via FTP/sFTP or FileManager / File Upload without SSH
Refer Link: http://magentary.com/kb/apply-supee-5344-and-supee-1533-without-ssh/
You can test whether Magento is safe from vulnerable for security point of view see link: https://shoplift.byte.nl/ and enter your URL.
You should have a look at the official documentation on applying patches
But in short.
Download the patch from the Magento site,
Transfer the patch to you Magento installation root directory,
Call sh patch-file-name.sh and you should see the message Patch was applied/reverted successfully.,
You may need to revert permissions after the process and also make sure you download the right patch for the version of Magento you have in place.
for SSL use putty client software and use it to access SSL.
Go to your website hosted directory and type the
above command and yout patch get applied/reverted successfully.
Steps To Run Security Patche File in magento.
1 First download security error patche file from magento community .
2 Download files move it into root folder in magento.
3 Create a php file in root directory of magento for run patche files.
4 Rename Security patches files according to you.
Final Step Open Php file and add these function in php
<?php
print("<PRE>");
passthru("bash patch-1.sh");
print("</PRE>");
//patch-1.sh define the name of download security patch file name .
?>
First download .sh patch files and move to your document root (magento root folder). Then connect to ssh and go to your document root folder.
run this command.
sh patch-file-name.sh
A message such as the following displays to confirm the patch installed successfully:
Patch was applied/reverted successfully.
Delete cache and session.
rm -rf var/cache var/session
Now you may need to reassign ownership again. Based on your group name command. Generally there are two groups www-data or apache. If you have www-data then run this command
chown -R www-data .
For apache use this.
chown -R apache
Ok, so I need to download files from my server since they are files that users upload. The reason I am using FTP with WAMP is just so I can test my script on my computer. Once I get it working, I can change the config files once the app is uploaded to a web server. I am using FileZilla.
MY application installation folder:
W:\wamp\www\idealeffort
The above directory is also set as my FileZilla user's home directory. There is a folder in my application called "_resumes". These are the files that I will need to download. So here is the script that I use to download these files.
$this->load->library('ftp');
$this->ftp->connect();
$this->ftp->download('/_resumes/'.$app['resume_filename'], FCPATH.'_resumes/'.$app['resume_filename']);
$app['resume_filename'] is a database result. I have checked to make sure that the file exists. I get the error "Unable to download the specified file. Please check your path."
Any ideas?
Note: FCPATH displays as "W:\wamp\www\idealeffort\ "
If you check codeigniter help
you have to give path from /public_html/....
So i think its problem with path.
Hope this helps
I installed Joomla 3.1.1 Stable on a Centos system.
I can access it, browse through it's admin backend and frontend, but I found in the Extension Manager/Warnings that "The PHP temporary directory is not set"
I went on google and found a fix: I created a php.ini file where I completed this line:
upload_tmp_dir = var/www/html/joomla/tmp
I did that because that is the location where I installed joomla (var/www/html/joomla/)
The fix I found online gave some other location for this folder, it was something with the home/accountname/public_html/... , but I do not have joomla installed in any accounts, it is installed in the "public": var/www/html folder.
I am asking what am I doing wrong because even after doing this, the warning stays the same:
"The PHP temporary directory is not set"
How can I fix this?
I set up the permissions for the entire joomla folder to 40777, and then to the inner folders and files so I would avoid a permission conflict. I then disabled the FTP from Global Settings (before doing this I was receiving a lot more errors when trying to upload anything)
I seriously thought that installing joomla on Centos would not give me so many headaches.
I need to install an extension in joomla (for a template) and I have an error that says nothing to me:"-1 - An error has occurred." - "Copy file failed" so I try to fix any warnings/errors that may cause this before giving up.
The fixes found online about this error (Copy file failed) refer to joomla 1.5 - 1.6. How is it possible that I still get it in version 3.1 ? It is rather absurd.
Any help would be appreciated.
Try to set it via .htaccess file, just add this:
php_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/html/joomla/tmp
It started working after I changed permissions to ALL subfolders located in var/www/html/joomla
I will reset those permissions after I finish with configuring and customizing the website.
But for now, that was my solution.
-di3sel - the upload_tmp_dir was set up correctly in the php.ini
Thank you both, but my problem seems to be solved now.
When logged in as Administrator and trying to install a Joomla extension it fails giving this error message
JFolder::create:
Unable to create destination
At another Joomla site it works, and one difference is where it works Joomla is setup with default English and where it fails setup is in Swedish. Can you recommend how to troubleshoot and proceed? I tried with 2 different extensions and both work on the English joomla and not the Swedish.
Probably you have to check the rwx (Read-Write-Execute) permissions (should be 644 or 755) for allowing the extension's folder to be created.
You have to change the owner of the folders/files to the user of the Apache server using the "chown" command.
If the Apache user is httpd, run this command in your Joomla folder
chown -R httpd *
I already get this problem and this solution worked for me.
Also check the path to the /tmp folder in your configuration.php file.
When I try to install any component, specifically my mtwMigrator component, I receive the following error:
* Warning! Failed to move file.
This is on a fresh install, with FTP Layer turned off, with default content installed, Joomla 1.5.14, latest PHP and my_SQL versions, Legacy mode turned on.
A very common cause of this error is due to file permissions. Joomla must be able to copy the files from your component into the components and administrator/components directories. If the system user the webserver runs as does not have write permissions to these folders, it will not be able to copy the files over.
The FTP layer is there to get around this issue. With the FTP layer on, you upload the component to the server first, then it is FTP'ed from the temporary directory to localhost. For this to work, the FTP user you specify must have permission to write to the components and administrator/components folders.
I had a similar problem when moving between machines (I know you said it was a fresh install - but someone might find this helpful). Ensure the $tmp_path entry in joomla\configuration.php is pointing to a valid directory. Mine wasn't.
In your Joomla backend, on the top menu, go to Help >> System Info >> Directory Permission and ensure that that are writable otherwise you don't want to have to change the folders to 777 and back again each time you install an extension.
In addition to this, you can mass chmod folders and files using Akeeba Admin Tools.
You mgiht also want to update to the latest Joomla 1.5 version (1.5.26)
The most ideal permission for Joomla directories is 755. There are cases when mod_suphp is not installed that the permission problem would occur.
Make sure that mod_suphp is installed and loaded by checking your php info e.g. and running this on your browser. If mod_suphp is not installed, then you will need help from your hosting provider to install this for you.
Normally, all directerories should have 755 (rwxr-xr-x) and all files 644 (rw-r--r--). If you want to set the most directories to not-writetable, you will need at least the directories listed in Help > System info > Directory Permissions. (Here you can also check which directories need to be changed, as non-writetable directories are shown in red.)
In some shared hosting environments, 755 / 644 isn't enough, as the owner of the file is not the (Web)Server User, but the FTP-User ... so either change it to 777 / 666 (not recommended, as you allow others to write your files), or get your FTP layer to work.
Another try: Joomla! does not work yet with the recent PHP 5.3. Can you use PHP 5.2? (Similar Problem in the Joomla Forum)
