[SOLVED][Drupal Errors] The selected file /tmp/file*** could not be uploaded, because the destination ***/***.*** is not properly configured.
Many Drupal programmers, Drupal site admins and Drupal site users have encountered errors similar to "The selected file /tmp/file*** could not be uploaded, because the destination ***/***.*** is not properly configured." in their Drupal site. If you are facing the same situation in your Drupal site then read on to find out more.
This error indicates that the filesystem path in which the uploaded files are residing during previews has been poorly configured. Drupal had tried to upload a file but the process was not working. This error can be caused
- During migration from one server to another server or by
- A badly configured Temporary Directory in admin/settings/file-system.
Here is the fix.
- Go to admin/settings/file-system in your Drupal site.
- Go to the section Temporary Directory.
- There type the correct path of your tmp folder of your server. (Depends on your server).
- If you are not sure about the path use an FTP tool to search for the file.
- Usually the default path is /tmp. Use this if all the above methods fail.
Hope that helps.
