Hi everyone,

We're experiancing a strange error when deploying to our hosted linux servers (all of them, not just one). The Drupal file functions work fine on localhost (running on WAMP) but not on a LAMP environment.

The functionalities which are failing are as follows:

1. Product Import module (one we custom developed) - not able to copy images.
2. ImageCache module - not able to create new thumbnail, preview, zoom images.
3. Internationalisation module - Fail to import language data (.po) file.

We identified this issue while working on the product import module. By replacing the Drupal file functions wit PHP file functions in that module they work on both WAMP and LAMP environments. However, this does not fix issues with 3rd party modules such as ImageCache and Internationalisation module that also require the Drupal file functions.

This is a very strange error which I'm sure shouldn't be part of the Drupal core code or would have been spotted by everyone else. If anyone has any ideas as to why this could be occurring please let us know so we can try to fix this.

Thanks,

David
