Warning: Failed to move file! - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i'm having issue joomla 2.5, when trying install extensions. error "warning: failed move file!". started happening after moved site live directory. i've seen other forum posts older versions , solutions mentioned did not work me. i'm feeling desperate @ point i've tried several things on several days, including upgrading hosting in order cgi instead of apache.

here's info:

from configuration.php
public $tmp_path = './tmp ';
public $log_path = './logs';

*when changed reflect $log_path on both lines site not come , got configuration error on front end.

php settings
php version 5.3.14
web server apache
webserver php interface cgi-fcgi

directory permissions
all files writeable except temp file. posted log , temp below. config file writeable, permissions 604, changed them 644. either way doesn't make difference error message.

./logs (log directory) writable
./tmp (temp directory) unwritable

thanks,
akanke

[mod note: moved admin forum installation forum;]
to you, in future, find correct forum topic please read which forum post question have put together.

change log and tmp path taking out period before forward slash, try forward slash after directory name.

does site have .htaccess file? if check rewritebase setting - if enabled - correct current location.

do have entry within configuration.php

code: select all

   public $live_site = '';

setting? if remove appears above.

do have cookie settings enabled within configuration.php?
