The selected file /tmp/*filename*_*number.extension* could not be copied.
Hi,
I've looked at various posts about similar symptoms but can't find a fix - Can some kind and generous guru give this beginner some help?
I had 6.0 running fine for about a week, just playing with Drupal and starting to set up my first Drupal website. I then upgraded to 6.1 following the method given on the linked upgrade pages. Now, with only the core modules loaded when I try to upload a new logo to my theme of choice the following error message is displayed..
The selected file /tmp/*filename*_*number.extension* could not be copied.
Drupal is installed in the root of public_html. When I run the status report I get ticks for everything.
I've checked the permissions and have 777 for /public_html/sites/default/files dir.
775 for /public_html/sites/default dir.
777 for /public_html/sites dir.
The files dir., settings.php, htaccess and other theme files etc. have been copied across from my backup.
As I said before, I've read a number of similar posts but still can't get a solution.
I'm getting close to deleting everything and starting from scratch - but I'd really like to fix this so that I have more confidence for future upgrades etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance (and apologies if I've missed the solution elsewhere).
Anyone?
Is anyone out there..?
Same issue
I have the same issue after I added the dutch language. The translation itself went well. I can also see the translations of the menu items but through the whole site the error is displayed that it could not copy two files from the /tmp directory.
When I deselect and remove the dutch translations all is well.
Yep, same issue
Problems also occurs when I add Swedish translation, but disappears when I switch back to English.
I've tried to manually upload the translation one .po-file at the time, to see where the problem is. So far the modules-block.sv.po and the system/misc.sv.po has caused the problem.
Same with dansish
Hi
I have the exact same problem. When I switch to danish I get a:
"Filen /dir/local/home/domain.dk/sites/default/files/tmp/filejyB0Fe kan ikke kopieres."
If I change back to english everything is fine.
I have also tried to manually install the .po file but the issue persists.
Any clues

Same with polish
The same problem :/
Same with turkish
The same problem
Same with T-Chinese
Exactly the same problem....
I have checked the log. Found this
"建立Chinese, Traditional(繁體中文)語系的 JavaScript 翻譯檔案時發生錯誤。"
means
"occur errors when trying to build a translation for the chinese, traditional language 's javascripts."
Fixed: I had the same problem with Russian language
Everything was working fine on my Drupal 6.2, until I changed default language to Russian. Every page started giving me an error message:
-----
Выбранный файл /home/mysite/public_html/drupal/files/tmp/filetpmPwN не может быть скопирован.
(in English: Selected file ..... cannot be copied)
-----
I stepped through the Drupal code and found an error message that PHP function copy() returns:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
warning: copy(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 32433 is not allowed to access /home/mysite/public_html/drupal/files/languages owned by uid 99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am on shared hosting and I asked tech support to change the owner from '99' to my own hosting account for this directory:
/home/mysite/public_html/drupal/files/languages
After they did that, I made it world writable (chmod 777, which might be a security problem) but after that all errors disappeared.
Please note, I am not a security expert, so this solution may be a security threat for Drupal site.
solution worked
Thank You!
solution
anybody knows, what to do? I have the same problem
the same
Same problem here...:
"El archivo /home/fjarraez/domains/portalfranj.net/public_html/sites/default/files/tmp/filedW8G90 seleccionado no se pudo copiar."
Making files/languages directory writable solves the problem
Making "sites/default/files/languages" directory writable solves the problem.
See my reply for comment above for details:

Yes, it solved my problem as
Yes, it solved my problem as well. If you cannot change the permissions through your ftp client, try deleting the empty 'languages' directory and making a new one. This changes the owner. After that you can change permissions...
solved also
Thanks geo_ego and dancinbits! I had the same problem after installing German translation.
As I didn't want to contact my webhoster, I deleted /drupal/sites/default/files/languages and recreated it, so now I'm the owner of the languages folder and could change permissions to 777
It worked for me too
Hi there,
Thanks, it worked for me too. I had to delete the languages folder, create it again and change the permissions that was all.
I had this same error with
I had this same error with xmlsitemap and found an explanation for that too. I had the directory set at 777 but the files created by default were set to read only. The extension was trying to save to a writable directory but couldn't overwrite the files in the directory. Perhaps it applies in this thread as well?
I can confirm this issue,
I can confirm this issue, but with optimizing css and javascript in performance menu for 6.4
I am owner of the temp folder, and it's set to 777, but the files are being written as 600. I removed the .htaccess file to see if it worked then.
No luck,
Has anyone made head way with this?
