Hi,

Go to Home > Administer > Site Configuration > File System

There you see a field called Temporary directory

It is probably set to /tmp, which you do not have write rights to under Linux but probably do under Windows. You should change this to something like files/tmp (without the '/', thus local to your drupal installation.

Make sure this directory exists and is writeable by everybody.

This should solve your problem, if it is a file system permission problem... If this doesn't solve the problem, please give a more specific description of what you do and all the messages.

Does the file upload? Does it sit in the files directory of your drupal installation or not?

No..... file didnt upload. When i didnt click the attach button and submit the page, then it will upload
particular directory...

When i click attach button, it didnt upload to that directory and it didnt show in the top of the file upload area.

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, the file does not upload at all on linux, i.e., drupal does not show the file as being uploaded, and you cannot find it on the file system either.

The only thing I can think in this case is the following settings in the php.ini file, which may be relevant:

post_max_size = 16M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 32M

The values are from my installation, but the important thing is to allow file uploads, and the max_post_size and upload_max_filesize should be bigger than the file you are trying to upload.

The last thing you can check is whether safe mode is on or off. If its on, then the owner of the directory you are trying to upload the files to should be the same as the owner of the apache process.

And of course, if you do change values in php.ini, you have to restart apache.

This is all I can think of at the moment.

I'm having the same issue. I have the access settings set properly, but still nothing.

I have about five other Drupal installs running, so I feel like I'd figure out the basic stuff. Still, no luck.

I started getting the same error, on several modules, after I upgraded to 5.X.
Tried everything with no luck.

Finally, I tried this, and it worked.

My last problem was with the images module..

My drupal is set for drupal download, so my files folder was in the root.. ../files

my error said.. the directory ../files/images is not writeable.....

I renamed the images folder to images2
then, went back to create content/images..
and when the page loaded it said "file ../files/images and ../files/images/tmp created...

eveything worked after that.
what's weird is that the images that were in the now renamed folder, instantly appeared back into the new images folder, like nothing ever happened.
