My instance of Drupal 7 is unable to install new modules via FTP link. The error message that comes up is as follows :

Warning: fileowner() [function.fileowner]: stat failed for temporary://upd92FE.tmp in update_manager_local_transfers_allowed() (line 924 of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\drupal\modules\update\update.manager.inc).

My setup is as follows :

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit IIS 7.5 + Zend Community Server

Answer 1

Okay, found the solution.

For some odd reason the temp directory was set as the following:

This naturally would not work. Just alter the back slash to a forward slash and you will be all set =)

Answer 2

To solve this problem, just create new folder named tmp in sites/default/files

Answer 3

Navigate here as admin /admin/config/media/file-system

and update "tmp" in Temporary Directory And create tmp folder in root of project dir. parallel with your index.php and .htaccess

Thanks, Aj

Answer 4

Sometime is a simple permission setting, I my case I found that the tmp was with 755 instead of 775. Setting back that folder to 775 has solved my problem.
