I encountered this error and I cannot fix it.
I tried to give full permissions to everyone,I tried some stackoverflow.com's tips(I'm not allowed to post here links yet) and I aalso tried to setup my tmp folder as I have seen on some links,but my folder was already like there. And many others things I don't remember right now...
Also the summary of log file is(if it helps):
