Hello to all, I'm new here at drupal community:

I have a problem when I access drupal 7 index for the first time.

It gives me the next error:

Warning: file_put_contents(temporary://file1Yl6Vj): failed to open stream: "DrupalTemporaryStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_unmanaged_save_data() (line 1832 of /var/www/www.site.com/public/includes/file.inc).

Here the line 1832:

if (file_put_contents($temp_name, $data) === FALSE) {

Thanks for the help.

I have write permissions for nobody user on /tmp. When it gives me the error I look at /tmp and I see new files with the next permissions:

-rw------- 1 nobody nobody 0 nov 2 05:42 filegOposQ

The problem was, that drupal haves for default other $TMP directory than php.ini. I changed drupal configuration on admin/settings/file system and now It works.

Thanks for the help.

I install a new fresh drupal 7.0
After install i saw the site with the next warning:

Warning: file_put_contents(temporary://fil9EB4.tmp): failed to open stream: "DrupalTemporaryStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_unmanaged_save_data() (regel 1847 van D:\www\site.nl\www\includes\file.inc).

I look at this site for help and found this topic with the same problem, but now i don't know what i have to change to fix this.

I went also to admin-settings-file system and see the problem, but i don't know how to fix it. Please help me?
I go to my database to check if there is a d:/tmp, but there isn't one.
And in the same settings (admin-settings-file system) i see that "path of the private file system" is empty.

Everything has read and write permissions.

Who can help me to fix this problem?

I had the same problem with drupal 7

What did i do...

1. Make a directory /tmp

2. Make /tmp chmod 0777

3. Change file.inc on 1839

function file_unmanaged_save_data($data, $destination = NULL, $replace = FILE_EXISTS_RENAME) {
  // Write the data to a temporary file.
  $temp_name = drupal_tempnam('tmp/', 'file');
  if (file_put_contents($temp_name, $data) === FALSE) {
    drupal_set_message(t('The file could not be created.'), 'error');
    return FALSE;
  }

  // Move the file to its final destination.
  return file_unmanaged_move($temp_name, $destination, $replace);
}

我的问题也是根据你的思路去解决了，只不过我把 $temp_name = drupal_tempnam('tmp/', 'file'); 中的tmp换成了temp之后刷新三次页面 问题解决。 Thanks ihitro!

If Drupal is going to pick the path for storing temporary files (/tmp) at install time, it seems that the installer should make sure this exists and is writeable and tell you there is a problem if it isn't.

My first D7 two D7 installs didn't have this problem but on my third, the shared hosting site doesn't give users access to /tmp. Each user has ~/tmp to use within their own file space. (Note that this is on Site5.)

I think I'm just blonde, but I don't understand the solution.

What do I have to do to fix this problem??

It seems that when you move a D7 site to a new host, the temp directory path is kept in the settings. Therefore, if this path change, this error can occur.

You can fix this at the following url : admin/config/media/file-system

Look for temp folder.

Hope this helps.

Perfect! Thanks for this answer.
I have a local install on my Windows PC, and moved to a devel server in Linux. Path was still set to C:\xammp\etc, etc

I had the same problem.
On ftp server when you go to the folder /sites/default/files/tmp/ you will find a .htaccess file.
Delete this and the error is gone - or at least it was for me.

I dont see the point in adding a .htaccess file in this folder and I am not sure why this happens.

Hope it helps...

Hi,
You have only to create a directory named "temporary" in sites/default/files
It works for me

First go to: admin/config/media/file-system

and check the personal directory. [It use to be ~/tmp]

then, in case you have "tmp", just create a new folder called "tmp".

It works fine to me! :)

As some of you comment, the problem maybe cames for the host changing.

alexmoreno commented

it gave me the same error. Enabling chmow a+rw or 777 permissions did not solve.

I finded the solution changing the owner / group:

chgrp -R www-data tmp
chown -R www-data tmp

www-data may differ from any server, simply using a ls -l in /var/www could give us the user and group needed.

This post came when I was doing a search for the same error, and my issue seems to have been similar to the original posters: The session.save_path in the php.ini was different then the setting in Administration > Configuration > Media > File system.

But I didn't want to change the setting in drupal as I am working with a copy of a site I have hosted elsewhere and wanted to maintain compatibility between the two installations.

The remote install is on a shared host, and the local install is on a windows box running WAMP_32. After a bit of digging I found I could edit the \WAMP_32\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf like so:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    <directory "g:/WWW Redirects/colonize">
        allow from all
        php_value session.save_path "g:/tmp"
    </directory>
    DocumentRoot "g:/WWW Redirects/colonize"
    ServerName colonizejupiter.local
    ServerAlias staging.anytimecomm.local
    ErrorLog "logs/colonizejupiter.local-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/colonizejupiter.local.log" common
</VirtualHost>

The line of interest up there is: php_value session.save_path "g:/tmp"

Obviously you want the path to match your installation, and this won't work if you are not using vhosts, but the same php_value directive could probably be used elsewhere.

where is your tmp folder and what are the folder permissions?

ha.azizi’s picture

ha.azizi commented

all folders permission: 755
tmp: ??
Public file system path: sites/default/files

VM’s picture

VM commented

well you need to know where your tmp folder is. if you don't know where it is you don't know that it's 755

Drupal checks a common path set in administer -> file system which is typically above the public root.

Had the same problem with a new, fresh install of Drupal (using 7.23) on Windows 7 (IIS 7), MySQL 5.1 and PHP 5.3.

Already had a version of Drupal working, but it was copied from a Debian server and used \tmp (so, C:\tmp) while the fresh version used sites/default/files/tmp.

In my scenario, the problem was that a mysterious user IUSR (PHP maybe?) was the one trying to write to the folder, not the default IIS_IUSRS. Gave it the appropriate permissions and everything worked fine.

I am documenting this in case anyone else has this issue.

When I started up the site, I received the error message "Error viewing drupal index after installation (file_put_contents(temporary://file1Yl6Vj): failed to open stream)".

This is because the temporary file was set to "Applications/MAMP/tmp/php", which I did not have on my machine. I tried to create it, but I did not work. So I had to change the temporary file path. Unfortunately, you can not change it because you have to get into the site to change it and I could not login because the temporary files could not be created.

The paths are stored in the table named "variable".

So, the solution is:

1. Go to your command line box, navigate to the directory where the mysql command is stored ("C:\Users\Dennis\Sites\Drupal-UniServer\usr\local\mysql\bin" in my case), and enter:

mysql -u <user name> -p<password - no space> <database name>
SELECT * FROM variable WHERE name LIKE '%temporary_path';
UPDATE variable SET value='s:4:"/tmp";' WHERE name='file_temporary_path';
SELECT * FROM variable WHERE name LIKE '%temporary_path';
EXIT

**NOTE:** The "s:26" and "s:4" means the string is 26 and 4 characters long, respectively. Also, there is NO space after the -p (password parm). So yes, the -p should be -ppassword.

Here is a screen shot of what I did to fix this. 

C:\Users\Dennis\Sites\Drupal-UniServer\usr\local\mysql\bin>mysql -u <username> -p<password> <databasename>
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 266
Server version: 5.5.20 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> SELECT * FROM variable WHERE name LIKE '%temporary_path';

+---------------------+------------------------------------+
| name                | value                              |
+---------------------+------------------------------------+
| file_temporary_path | s:26:"/Application/MAMP/tmp/php/"; |
+---------------------+------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> UPDATE variable SET value='s:4:"/tmp";' WHERE name='file_temporary_path';

mysql> SELECT * FROM variable WHERE name LIKE '%temporary_path';
+---------------------+-------------+
| name                | value       |
+---------------------+-------------+
| file_temporary_path | s:4:"/tmp"; |
+---------------------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Then I create the tmp directory and I was up and running.

PS. I could not use phpMyAdmin because it show the "value" field as a blob instead of a text string.
