Check in the backend: Joomla System Information -> Directory Permissions. Scroll down and see if tmp (Temp directory) is writable. By the way, see also for the Logs and compare their paths to the one of the Logs. If any or both of these are Unwritable, then most probably you have set a wrong path in your configuration. Usually in the majority of cPanel hosting the path is looking like this: 

    '/home/account_name/public_html/tmp';

In goDaddy hosting is like this :

   '/home/content/**/*******/html/tmp';

The ** here are referring to the account numbers related to a godaddy hosting account. You can find the actual account directory, inside the goDaddy panel.

While in many plesk hosting the path is similar to the following:

   '/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/tmp';
