Gang,
I apologize, but I have diligently read every post and tried everything.
My Drupal install is stating:
File system Not writable
The directory /hermes/web09c/b1053/as.darkdan/tempdir does not exist. You may need to set the correct directory at the file system settings page or change the current directory's permissions so that it is writable.
When I go to the file system settings page,
* Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in drupal_mkdir() (line 2244 of /hermes/web12c/b1053/as.darkdan/includes/file.inc).
* The directory /hermes/web09c/b1053/as.darkdan/tempdir does not exist and could not be created.
But the crazy thing is that the actual form field says:
/hermes/web09c/b1053/as.darkdan/tempdir which appears to be different than my install directory. I have tried creating a file in both
/hermes/web09c/b1053/as.darkdan/tempdir
/hermes/web12c/b1053/as.darkdan/tempdir
When I use /hermes/web12c/ it actually creates the folder on my server, but then reports:
* The directory /hermes/web09c/b1053/as.darkdan/tempdir does not exist and could not be created.
Whomever can solve this brainteaser gets the first beer on me!

What are the permissions of those folders?
Make sure those folders are writable by the server.
Try 777 first, and then work your way down.

The directory /hermes/web06b/b337/moo.******/tempdir does not exist and could not be created.
My particular issue seems to have popped up since updating. I would love to know if you were able to solve this Daniel and if so, how. With respect to permissions, I made sure that tempdir did indeed have 777 permissions.
Same Issue Here
Was this ever resolved? I just upgraded and am now having this issue. I've also tried setting the folder permissions to 777 and still no luck. I get the following error.
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in drupal_mkdir() (line 2293 ****/includes/file.inc).
The directory ****/tempdir does not exist and could not be created.
I'm wondering if this is a host server specific issue? I recently upgraded another drupal site on a different host server with no issues. I will try contacting customer support and see if they can help me...
Yup, here to.
This happens to me as well, when installing Drupal 7.9 on a local ubuntu/apache server. I've tried modifying www-data's access to files/ directory.
I've got nothing. I think the form har gone buggy.
7.9 seems b0rked for me too...
I'm on 7.9 and have the same problem :[
Tried the full server path which just says it can't create the directory that already god damn exists with a chmod of 777...
Tried the web path of just sites/all/default/tmp which then gives me the following error when installing a module:
Unable to create directory 'temporary://..."
Pff, was working just yesterday when I installed boost, grr.
Re: 7.9 seems b0rked for me too...
Hi Joe,
I would recommend to first try chmod -R 0777 sites folder of your drupal installation directory. The target directory may differ in case the paths are altered in the admin/config/media/file-system form.
Thanks for the tip, but it
Thanks for the tip, but it didn't make any difference for me.
You just need to change the
You just need to change the file system path and provide the chmod -R 777 permission
Warning in 7.12
I was having the same issue with 7.12 with setting my tmp, public file, and private file directories. Problem was fixed by altering the paths given in the form at admin/config/media/file-system from
/home/***/***/public_html/tmp
and
/home/***/***/public_html/sites/default/files
to
/tmp
and
sites/default/files
.Hope this helps the next person who wanders by.
Finally found a fix!
I finally found the issue was tied to the settings.php file. There's a section under Variable Overrides, see below:
Once I commented out the line item below:
# $conf['file_temporary_path'] = '/home1/develop9/public_html/domainname/new/tempdir';
I could then set the temp folder path to "/tmp" like my other sites. I think this is a hard-coded default and this is why I was unable to successfully change the temp folder directory regardless of what I did because it was always overriding it.
I found that I didn't have
I found that I didn't have this line in my settings file.
$conf['file_temporary_path'] = '/home1/develop9/public_html/domainname/new/tempdir';
Adding it resolved my problem.

I had this problem too, after doing a minor version update. None of the suggestions here worked. I finally fixed it by entering a new, nonexistant directory name for the temp directory in the file systems settings page. It created the new temp directory and the problem went away.
Changing user fixed this error
Changing permissions to apache user fixed this problem

I solved this by changing the path to my temporary directory to

Giving 777 to files folder
Giving 777 to files folder worked for me. Also giving "/tmp" path solved my problem.
