JFolder::create: Could not create directory in all pages

i installed joomla2.5 and see this error in all administrator pages even login page!

JFolder::create: Could not create directory

i did every solution i found like changing the tmp and logs path to '/logs' or './logs/' but not worked. folders permission is 755. any one can help me ?

Solution

  • The 755 permission gives the group/others the read and execute permissions in the directory.

    This means, that non-group members cannot create new directories.

    Make sure that the owner of the directory is the user that the server is running as.

    To figure out which user that is, you can use:

    $ echo $(ps axho user,comm|grep -E "httpd|apache"|uniq|grep -v "root"|awk 'END {if ($1) print $1}')

    And if does not provide the desired result, simply explore the output of:

    $ ps aux | grep -E "httpd|apache" | grep -v -E "root|grep"

    You can find which group it belongs to by using:

    $ groups [userName]

    Next, change the owner of the joomla folder. I am using www-data as an example:

    # chown -R www-data:www-data path/to/your/joomla/root/dir

    PS,

    lines preceded by $ can be executed by a normal user, lines preceded by # require root privilege - you can use sudo or your favorite method.
