Warning! – Failed to move file (Joomla 1.0.x, Joomla 1.5.x)

I came across this problem(“Warning! – Failed to move file”) when trying to install some components in a freshly installed joomla 1.5 Version site. Solution to this is either to change permissions to 777 for tmp directory / enable the legacy mode.

However, after I changed permissions to 777 for tmp folder, I came across another strange problem “Unable to write entry”

& after long time, I found the solution : Its to disable PHP SafeMode & Everything will work alright.

    disabling safemode is not always the best way to go about doing a quick fix. You leave yourself open for all sorts of vulnerabilities. Also, not everyone has access to the php.ini file on their servers.

    Tell us how to disable php safe mode?
  • you can use .htaccess

    just put a .htaccess file in that dir then the content of the .htaccess file should be

    php_value safe_mode "1"


    (OR)

    on the php.ini file which you upload to the directory enter this command:

    safe_mode = Off
