Hello.

I'm new to drupal and I have an issue. An error message displays on every page saying that "the specified file temporary:// xxxxxxx can't be copied..." on my site www.adi-presse.ch (the message is in french).

I guess this is a file permission problem, or a Local /tmp directory problem but I can't figure out how to solve it.

Thanks

I see you're using Drupal 7. Is this error by chance happening on the settings page for the theme (Appearance >> Settings)? I'm getting the same error, but for me it's trying to copy a file that doesn't exist, logo.png. I think this may be a bug, but I'd like to know if you ever resolved it.

I still don't understand why it was trying to copy a file that I don't use, logo.png, but I chmod'd my sites/default/files/color folder and it works now.

The solution for me was simply..
.
Go to 'Configuration' > 'Media' > 'File System'
[*root*]/admin/config/media/file-system
and change the 'Temporary directory' from
/tmp
...to...
tmp
.

.2011.03.26 - I updated this post to refine the work-around solution.

See http://drupal.org/node/1106492 for all the details.


All the best; intended.
