Hi Djalma! Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help
us make Ubuntu better.
Indeed, the error message is confusing, because while you called rename,
copy is complaining.
This happens because of this snippet of code:
ret = VCWD_RENAME(url_from, url_to);
if (ret == -1) {
#ifndef PHP_WIN32
# ifdef EXDEV
if (errno == EXDEV) {
struct stat sb;
if (php_copy_file(url_from, url_to TSRMLS_CC) == SUCCESS) {
if (VCWD_STAT(url_from, &sb) == 0) {
Basically since your /tmp is a different partition than your home dir,
php must emulate the low level unix rename by copying the file. The copy
is failing because the source is a dir, and copy doesn't accept
directories.
This is a bug, with an unclear resolution. Either rename should copy
recursively the whole directory to the new device, or it should describe
the problem with its own error message rather than relying on copy to do
it in a confusing way.
I've forwarded the issue upstream to PHP, so I'll mark the issue as
Triaged. There's nothing broken, its just not doing what we'd like it
to, so I'l set status to Wishlist.
