I've encountered the same problem described by Rich in this email to the [support] list:

I have just completed a new installation to a sub-directory. I mention
the sub-directory because I have done two other installations of
Drupal 5 and not encountered this error. And here is the error:

* warning: unlink(css/tabs.css) [function.unlink]: Permission
denied in /var/www/vhosts/peninsulagospel.org.uk/subdomains/college/httpdocs/includes/file.inc
on line 468.
* warning: unlink(css/winxp.blue.css) [function.unlink]:
Permission denied in
/var/www/vhosts/peninsulagospel.org.uk/subdomains/college/httpdocs/includes/file.inc
on line 468.
* warning: unlink(css/style.css) [function.unlink]: Permission
denied in /var/www/vhosts/peninsulagospel.org.uk/subdomains/college/httpdocs/includes/file.inc
on line 468.

Any ideas how I fix this please?

Specifically, I encounter the same error he describes when activating modules or themes.

Rich got as far as discovering that the /css directory was installed by Plesk, but he never got a response to his second email. I emailed him today to find out if he ever solved it and he said he gave up on Drupal. Any better ideas out there? I'm wondering if I could get away with just deleted the /css directory (contains winxp.blue.css, style.css and tab.css) but I don't know anything about Plesk so I'm not confident what the result would be.

My hosting service is running Plesk 8.0.1

What is happening is that Drupal is seeing your old css folder. delete it and it should clear up.

I have the same problem after installing drupal on domain for an existing site. I don't want to delete the old site, or take the pages down that have already been indexed in Google and other Search Engines.

It doesn't effect anything as far as I can tell so far, but it is annoying to have all these warnings come up in the admin panels.

Thanks for your help!

Thank You Drupal Community for all the help you continue to give me, especially when I need it most!

I just had this problem and found this thread - I too am on a PLESK server,
The fix for me was VERY easy, all I did was RENAME the CSS folder off of the root DIR in HTTPDOCS
Just renaming it to anything, like CSS2 worked.

It doesnt appear to have ruined anything, and if I notice issues I can just change it back.
So for the next person who runs into this issue, I hope this helps!

I am having the same issue on Plesk. It didn't show up before, but now it is along with a "max_allowed_packets" error that seems to show up on any admin page.

So renaming the css folder is the only way? What about permissions say "755" to "777"?
