I had this problem while trying to install a template on my 2.5.6 Joomla!.

To fix it I changed the configuration.php file as follow: where was

public $error_reporting = 'default';

set to

You need to ensure that you have permission on the /tmp folder as well as this is where the file gets uploaded to before it's extracted. In addition, most components will extract to

Make sure your permissions are set correctly, 777, 755 on your directories. Also the chown should be correct as well.

Perhaps checking directory permissions, seems to me that the web server isn't able to create since it doesn't have write permissions

check your webserver configured user, httpd.conf, or your web server config file, and give permissions to it on those directories so it can write in it.

also, you really should try at serverfault.com, ask there, this is mostly a programming/development consulting site.

hope it helps
