Do not no.
Isn't it that when you install joomla on localhost all permissions are set as 777?

Although I too am trying to find a fix for this issue, my problem is different than most of the posts since mine is due to an upgrade in my Plesk control panel. On the off chance you are experiencing the same issue I am I thought I should chime in.

I recently upgraded my control panel to Plesk 10.1 and I am having the same problem. I finally was able to get them [my dedicated server company and Plesk] to admit this is due to a change they made within Plesk 10.1 and the open_basedir command.

I was given a couple fix options but I had some concerns about security so I am looking into that right now.

If you are not using Plesk 10.1.x then you probably do not have the same problem I have. If you have upgraded to 10.1, then you could have the same issue I do. If anyone else has this issue, I will chime in with a fix when I find it.

** Oh and prior to this upgrade, my tmp and log file was always set to 775. For some reason 755 does not work in a Plesk environment.. or at least not mine. I read a permissions sticky once and it said that folders should be set to 755 but some servers need 775... 777 was not advised. **

I had this problem after moving my Joomla. I think it has everything to do with the pathname - maybe you inadvertently changed them., not permissions unless you changed permissions. Here is what I would suggest.

Make a new folder called joomlatest. Install a new Joomla 1.5 in it. Open the configuration.php file and check the directory pathname to logs and tmp folders. Compare them to the pathnames of the configuration.php in the original directories. If there aren't the same (excluding the joomlatest directory) change them to be the same - exclude or change the joomlatest.

Then check the directory pathname to the tmp in the global settings is correct.

Most likely a file Ownership error in your case
Quote:
PHP/suExec: User and Web Server accounts are not the same. (PHP/suExec probably not installed)


Go to Global config press 'Apply'
Press 'Apply' a second time.
What messages do you get each time ?

AFAIK
Paths and RewriteBase are server dependant not Joomla version dependant.

I ran into this today for the first time and tried many of the solutions mentioned above... Finally realized I had run out of storage on the temporary hosting account I had set up :-[ D'oh! As soon as I increased the available storage, I could install extensions again. If the other solutions aren't working, make sure you have some room left on your account :)

Have encountered this issue a few times.

1 Log into the backend as administrator
2 Go to Site..Media Manager (the first tab on the menu bar) The first item that you will see is the path to your media folder. Copy the path.
3 Go to Global Configuration, then the server tab. Paste the path to the media folder into the first box
labelled "Path to Temp-folder". Change the final part of the URL from /media to /temp

A sure fire way of setting the correct directory path for your temp folder. This can also be pasted into configuration.php.

"JFolder::create: Could not create directory" error was displaying on certain pages within the site I was working on and not all of the time. Really? Didn't need the randomness of that to throw a wrench into trying to figure this out.

Anyway, I'm not sure who suggested it but I emptied the tmp folder via FTP which had a ton of file in it; worked like a charm. If anyone knows why this would resolve the issue I would love to know.

Cheers


You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

It might be related to the problem I experienced, i.e. hosting account was running out of space. Perhaps emptying the /tmp folder created enough room to solve the problem.

Cheers,
Chris

@Fenderbloke: Thank you! My web host must have moved my account to a new server. The tmp path was home7/ and it should have been home8/ (based on the Media Manager path). Making that one change fixed the install 'JFolder' error problem. Thank you very much. This solved the problem with no permissions modifications (which was scaring me).

Hi there,

I've almost read the entire list of solutions here, but nothing seems to work for me. I've just installed the latest version of Joomla (1.7) and for first I wanted to install the Dutch language for me.
But I've got the JFolder::create: Could not create directory issue.

I've checked my permissions and they seem to be right. The file has been uploaded correctly to /tmp so that's not the problem.
But creating the directory itself seems to be the problem. I've checked the paths and also they seem to be right. But can't just figure out wat the problem is !

Does anyone have an idea?

What is the 'Web Server to PHP interface:' ? Look in system info.

That's your problem it needs to be cgi or fastcgi. Is it a dedicated package or shared Hosting ?

It's hosted on a dedicated server. I've inserted the Ftp information because none of the files were readable. But still can't use the JFolder. Is there another option to use?

In the Host's CP look for an option to run php as cgi(or similar, not sure of the exact wording). If you can set that then make sure the ftp layer is No

Webdongle,

On the website you're reffering to (weblinksonline.co.uk/joomla-faq) there are some things to try. After solving the 'JFolder::create' problem by inserting the FTP information in both Global Configuration as the configuration.php file, I now receive a JFTP::store: Bad Response error.

Is this related? Yes I think, but how to solve this one?

I did not refer to my wesite, that would be self promotion. I am careful not to self promote in the forums.

You need to check
Your paths in the configuration.php are correct
Joomla is aloud Ownership
If Joomla is not aloud Ownership you can set the ftp layer. Make sure that you put the correct details.

You could use the CHOWN command
You could set php to be run by cgi
Ask your Host how to properly configure your Dedicated server.

20 megabytes of disk space isn't much for a Joomla installation - you probably need more space too. If you can increase the space you have with your hosting account, there's a good chance that your error will disappear too.
