Hello,

I have recently install Drupal 7 and I receive the error below when I run cron.

Make sure your permissions are set correctly for the specified folders mentioned in the errors. The web server must have permission to edit the files in the folders (user is usually something like www-data).

Weird the issue fixed itself with me having to do anything. Must have been a cache issue?????

I'd checked the permissions on the includes file which were 755, i changed to 777 and tried the cron again with the same error.
In case it was a caching error, on a different browser i cleared the site cache and tried the cron again, still with the same error.

Does anyone have any idea whats causing this?
thanks in advance!

I love Drupal. Always.

You may also have to make sure the directory has the correct permissions as well. Just for a test, change both to 777 and rerun cron.

May it have to do with this issue (some other Drupal user on same shared hosting server)?

/edit: ah, here is an own issue about this problem: http://drupal.org/node/1008328

Create a new temporary directory on your filesystem within a space you control and set Drupal's temporary directory to that instead of /var/tmp.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if it does not.

RESOLUTION:

drwxrwxr-x x x 4.0K Dec 14 10:55 sites

drwxrwxr-x x x 4.0K Dec 28 15:11 default

drwxrwxrwx x x 4.0K Dec 14 10:39 files

drwxrwxrwx x x 20K Dec 28 15:40 css

This looks strikingly similar to http://drupal.org/node/18332 "Warning: Permission denied in includes/file.inc", except that says that it only affects Drupal 4.5.x or older. This happened on Drupal Core 7.10.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not a fan of setting files, or CSS to globally write-able.

Is this a bug?

the solution for me was to move the files/css and files/js folders
outside of the files folder and then run the update script again.

timmvt commented

I also was able to remove the "The file permissions could not be set on public://js." message by moving the files/css and files/js to the folder above ('sites/default'). Just to be on the safe side, I flushed the cache a few times and then ran the update script. Thanks all!

I fixed the issue by changing the permission to 777 recursively to all folders and also moved by tmp folder in drupal root directory.
