The specified file temporary://fileDTbhYD could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log.

I have set read and write permissions for sites/default/files/ folders. I am getting permission error for profile/site/theme/themename/assets/css folder in error log. I have set the permission for this as well. Can't get through the error. Any solution??

    The solution (and I'm not being sarcastic) is to set proper permissions on folders that need to be written to. Beyond that it's almost impossible to tell you what's wrong with your setup from here, one would need access to the command line on your machine

  • Thanks Clive for immediate response. I have 777 permission set for sites/default/files folders. I recently changed the server and since then i am getting this error. As i have enabled caching and compression, I supposed that the only write permission will be needed to given directory. But that is not working

  • Read the path in the error message carefully: profile/site/theme/themename/assets/css. You have something that's trying to write outside of sites/default/files; that's where you need to make the permissions change

For those landing here from a web search, I ran into this exact problem when setting up a test server (in my case for backdrop cms, a fork of Drupal).

What it required on my end was to edit /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf to change the entries for:

 user = your-webserver-user
 group = your-webserver-group

add then add the user to the list

listen.acl_users = apache,nginx,your-webserver-user

then running

systemctl restart php-fpm

You can get your webserver user by checking /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

User your-webserver-user
Group your-webserver-group

Hope that is useful to someone else out there. No amount of chmod/chown fixed it for me, this is what did.
