    JFolder::create: Could not create directory

    Posted 17 years 3 months ago
    • Hi,

      I'm receiving the following message when uploading a new template.

      JFolder::create: Could not create directory
      Unable to create destination

      Unable to find install package

      I just installed J1.5 and all folders and sub-folders permissions are set to 777. FTP settings are turned off.

      Any ideas why it's doing this?

      Thanks

    • My PHP "Safe Mode" setting is on and "Display Errors" is off. Could that be the cause?

      I tried a different (1.5) template and have the same problem so I believe it's related to my PHP / Linux / Joomla configuration.

      Thanks for your help

      Don't mean to sound stupid but where would I find that safe mode setting?

    • You can try adding this to .htaccess:
      php_value safe_mode = off

      or this to php.ini
      safe_mode = "off"

      If you have to use the php.ini option, be sure to put it in both the site root as well as in the administrator folder.

      (both those files, htaccess and php.ini are plain-text files you can create in notepad.)

    • Used the first one with .htaccess.
      Got this error.

    • Found the problem in my site.

      My host moved the files and it caused the problems

      Followed this tip and my problem is solved:

      Changes in configuration.php

      var $log_path = '/usr/home/web/web***/joomla/logs'; //*= my username on ISP
      var $tmp_path = '/usr/home/web/web***/joomla/tmp'; //*= my username on ISP

      to:

      var $log_path = './logs';
      var $tmp_path = './tmp';
