When trying to install a new Component, Module, Template or Plugin using Joomla! 1.5 I receive the following error
JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning! Failed to move file.
Question: How do I solve this?
Answer:
To solve this issue access the configuration.php file in the root folder where your Joomla! files are located.
Open the configuration.php file and look for the following lines
var $log_path = ‘/usr/home/web/joomla/logs’;
var $tmp_path = ‘/usr/home/web/joomla/tmp’;
Make sure the paths to the logs and tmp folder is correct.
Change it to something like below and the error message should disappear
var $log_path = ‘./logs’;
var $tmp_path = ‘./tmp’;

Check if a images folder is present in your Joomla! root directory and make sure that it is writable.

I have changed the permissions writable, but not work…., any way out?

In the Joomla! Backend go to the option Joomla! info and joomla will tell you if all folders are writable that need to be writable. In Joomla 1.5 is under the help menu
