I'm trying to install the Google Analytics module and getting the error:
JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning! - Failed to move file

I have the exact same site on another server and installed it successfully so there must be some setting on this server that is messing up my module install. I have checked that safe mode is off but besides that, don't know what to do.

Forgot to mention that I have the folder permissions set at 777 for the components and modules folders.

Any luck on this?
I get the same thing with a Fireboard install on a fresh J1.5 install on the server.

Can you check (from the xml file) if a specific directory must be placed for Analytics to put its files in?

I have just succesfully loaded the Google Analytics module. This on Joomla 1.5.3.
So, try this again after upgrading Joomla to at least 1.5.3 and download the J! 1.5 version of the module from the extension directory: htp://extensions.joomla.org

I have the shame problem..
Installed Joomla 1.5.3 so how do we fix this?
I can't install anything.

First had the error message I couldn't move anything or something like that.
When I changed permissions of all needed maps to 777 I got the same error message as named in the first of this topic.

Thanks in advance.

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';

I moved my website to a new hosting company. Everything went fine except when I tried to install a new component/module/plugin I got the same error. I went through the steps mentioned above (see configuration.php) and everything worked perfectly. Thank you kmsrentals for your great help.

I have tried this too, but it had no effect... I am trying to install Signallogin on a Joomla 1.5 running in Legacy mode... again, I have successfully installed it locally, but get the same error message when I attempt to install it on the server.

Thanks

kmsrentals, thanks for pointing that out, it did the trick for me! I can't believe I over looked that in the config file. I must have stared at it at least 100 times... :eek:

I have the same problem with my 1.5.7, before I made the changes at configuration.php the warning was:

Code:
Warning! Failed to move file.

And after the changes, the warning is:

Code:
JFolder::create: Path not in open_basedir paths
Warning! Failed to move file.


Please, someone must have a solution for joomla 1.5.7

I solved my problem.
At 1.5.7 installs is not needed to change anything at configuration.php

I just turned all my folders' CHMOD into 777, and it worked.



Hope it works for others.

Pablo.

ANother place to check, especially when moving your site from one host to another, is your Joomla Administrator Control Global Configuration section.

In the System tab, in "Path to Log folder" make sure you you have the correct path to your site.
In the Server tab, in "Path to Temp-folder" make sure you you have the correct path to your site.

I found that just correcting your configuration.php file did not update the Global COnfiguration Section.

Just wanted to add a twist to this. I was getting the error because I changed my cpanel account ID for the website in question.
This changed all my /home/userID/ paths
Configuration.php had all the log and tmp folders at /home/oldUserID/.... and was choking since they no longer existed.

So sometimes we are foiled by our own stupidity!

Setting the log_path and tmp_path fixed it for me.
