Can't install any extensions and upgrades

Hi!
When I tried to install any upgrades, I get a message

JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning: Failed to move file!

When I tried to upgrade joomla from 2.5.9 to 2.5.11, I get a message

JFolder::create: Could not create directory
JFolder::create: Could not create directory

All roots is 777 on my site http://nord-foxpro.ru. I need help to decide this problem very much. Please, help me.

Hi,
this is old error which appears often, you probably have some wrong paths in your configuration.php file or some folders are not writable by the server.
First check if "logs" and "tmp" directories are selected properly. Make sure that paths entered in the Directory Permissions page really exists on your server.

p.s.
If you don't know the correct paths for your server, you can check it.
1) Create a new file and enter this:

Code: Select all

<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']; ?>

2) Save this file as mypath.php
3) Upload into the root folder of your server (where Joomla! is installed).
4) Execute it by entering URL in your browser: "http://www.yoursite.com/mypath.php". The output will be the correct path of this directory on your server in the form like this: /path/to/your/folder.
5) Copy this path and enter it in the configuration.php file for "logs" and "tmp" paths. Don't forget to add logs and tmp for each of those two paths respectively.

LAST STEP --> delete file mypath.php from your server.
