I cloned a repository from my drupal site to a local environment running MAMP PRO in a windows machine. all the files and data base are setup correctly. when I try to run Drupal 8 I get this error. I know its a permissions problem but I'm not sure where to change the permissions or what to do. I tried many settings and I get same results.

Drupal\Core\File\Exception\FileWriteException: Temporary file 'temporary://filF92B.tmp' could not be created. in Drupal\Core\File\FileSystem->saveData() (line 521 of core\lib\Drupal\Core\File\FileSystem.php).

Ok, It looks like is not necessary to access the admin panel to change the temporary directory. In settings.php I was able to modify the below line to set it up. After clearing Drupal cache and adding an .htaccess file it worked.

$settings['file_temp_path'] = '/tmp';

I was having this problem while working with the copy of a site in production in local with XAMPP. I solved it adding this to settings.php:

$settings["file_temp_path"] = sys_get_temp_dir();

Go to Administrator -> Configuration -> Media -> File System (/admin/config/media/file-system) to get your temporary path. Make sure it have the right privileges for the Apache user.

  • The problem is that I can't access the back end.

  • @Biok If so i think there is no way to check the permissions setting of the tmp directory

In my case the $settings['file_temp_path'] was overrided in the local.settings
