When using Drupal your browser returns the following error
The selected file /tmp/file*** could not be uploaded, because the destination ***/***.*** is not properly configured.
This means that the file system path where uploaded files are store during previews is misconfigured. In simple terms Drupal try to upload a temporary file to your server but the process is not working.
An "Internal Server Error" often occurs on:
- Migrating a website to a different server.
- Misconfigured
Temporary directory
setting underadmin/settings/file-system
.
To fix this
Navigate to admin/settings/file-system
Under the section Temporary directory:
configure the path appropriately. Each server is different. You must type in the appropriate path to your tmp
folder on your server. If unsure use a FTP tool. Connect to your server. And search for the folder tmp
. If nothing works type in /tmp
. This is the most common path.
If above isn't working then using an FTP tool ensure the CHMOD security setting on your tmp
folder is appropriate. CHMOD should be 750
.
