am stuck on long time , tried lot of things nothing working .
in terminal type :
chmod -r 777 /your/upload/folder
you can know folder php uploads files executing code :
$tmp_dir = ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') ? ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') : sys_get_temp_dir(); die($tmp_dir); in case /var/... when sett 777 permission no error.
edit
setting 777 /var dangerous have set folder php uploads file (which can buy code above).
