I copied my Drupal 7 site from production server (Linux) to my local WAMP server.
First I had this error “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted (tried to allocate Y bytes)” and I solved it by increasing the memory amount to 512M in php.ini file.
Now, I can’t login to my Drupal site and I have “The file could not be created” error.
When I googled, I found out that to solve the problem is to go to admin-> config -> file system and change the tmp directory, but I can’t log in.
How can I fix the problem?
Thanks

Hello Eskinder,
Please provide the site url or the actual screenshot in order to look into.
What i can suggest you blindly is to turn the CSS/JS compression off.
The error usually comes when you change the server and the files are in compressed mode.
Please follow the steps to do so.
1. Goto the path admin/config/development/performance
2. Find the section BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZATION.
3. Uncheck the options "Aggregate and compress CSS files" and "Aggregate JavaScript files.".
5. Click save and clear the cache.
