Change colour of themes results in error messages

By bigdak on 7 Feb 2011 at 17:12 UTC

Just installed version 7. every time i change the colour of a theme there are error messages as follows

Error message•Warning: file_put_contents(temporary:///.htaccess) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: "DrupalTemporaryStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_create_htaccess() (line 507 of /home/spratcom/public_html/drupal-7.0/includes/file.inc).
•Warning: file_put_contents(temporary://filegFNRtf) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: "DrupalTemporaryStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_unmanaged_save_data() (line 1847 of /home/spratcom/public_html/drupal-7.0/includes/file.inc).
•The file could not be created.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me understand why this is happening

I have a solution

I had the very same problem. It has a simple solution. Go to
Home » Administration » Configuration » Media
and fix temporary directory.

When I moved my site to a different server the path to temp was changed. And it needs to be updated.
In my old server it was c://wamp/tmp, but in new server it became d://wamp/tmp

Thanks superitgel, I fixed same problem with your solution

A big thanks, it really helped me.

One more point I would like to make here.
My drupal code was in /public_html, I created a temp folder in /public_html

Then in the temporary directory you mentioned above, I just specified "temp".

it worked!!

Private file system path

generalelektrix commented 22 May 2013 at 13:08

Almost there, but on Windows 2008 R2 with IIS, I had to add a folder with write access to IUSR somwhere on the file system and add this path in Configuration >> Media >> File system >> Private file system path.
Thank you!
