Can’t upload to the backend, an error occurred/missing folder..

[freekdl]

I know this question has been asked over and over, but I tried many possible solutions and still got nowhere..

I am using V1.6.1.17 and encounter following problems:

- When I try to change the logo and upload a file I get the message ‘The settings have been successfully updated’, but the logo doesn’t change.

- When I try to change the home hook image I get following message: ‘An error occurred during the image upload’. I tried a .jpg file with the same resolution, so that can’t be the problem. I tried a 128Kb file too, also didn’t work.

- When I try to upload a zipped theme, I get ‘Missing temporary folder’. I can avoid this by uploading with FTP, but I’d rather get the problem fixed

What I’ve tried:

- Setting 755 or 777 as permission for public_html and all subfolders.

- Adding a /tmp folder to root manually.

- I tried modifying uploader.php and filemanager.php.

What I didn’t try is modifying php.ini because I don’t have access to it on my shared hosting. But since I can’t even upload small files and get missing folder errors, I think I might have other problems than php.ini..

I tried adding the max file size information in .htaccess instead (after generating one from the backend) but this resulted in an internal server error.

Finally I wanted to check my php settings in Directadmin but since the php version was set to native I could not see extensions nor settings. When I change the php version from native to 7.1 (I tried everything from 4.4 to 7.1), my webshop goes offline. I even tried reinstalling Prestashop after changing the php version but no luck.

Any suggestions would be very welcome

EDIT: Before going to sleep I tried setting it to php version 7.1 again with following settings:

After that I reinstalled the shop again. It's not working now but maybe it needs some time to adjust the php version and will be working when I wake up

Enable DEV mode and post the full error message. Search for DEV mode in the forum if you haven't done this before.

I'm not sure if I did everything right, I turned off Smarty & CCC and then changed false to true in defines.inc.php (there's also a defines_uri.inc.php didn't touch that one). How do I see the error reporting? If I try to upload a theme I get the same missing folder message. I see errors on the website however, but not in the backend
