I was so excited…I had just installed joomla 1.5.12 update on my website (hosted by GoDaddy). I decided to try installing an extension and got
- JFolder::create: Could not create directory
- Warning! Failed to move file.
I spent time on google and saw comments from “make sure the /tmp and /logs dir have 777 permissions” to “get the absolut path for the tmp and logs dir and edit the configuration.php file.” Nothing worked. (NOTE: The site is hosted on one of GoDaddy’s IIS7 plans…so 777 permissions don’t apply.)
I finally found a post that said to put a . infront of the /tmp…so I changed my settings to point to ./tmp and ./var/logs and it worked!

My friend thanks very much, i spend many ours searching for a solution for this problem and whatever i was doing, it was not working. When i saw your post here, i tried to do it but it didn’t work. So i put double full stop: ../tmp ../logs and now works!!!! Thanks again for giving me the inspiration!!!
thanks so much!
Other variant is possible also
thanks a lot
I don’t believe it, after trying almost everything, this solution with double full stop worked.
Thank you very much!
