    • Alright, since i cannot access that directory via FTP and i don't have access to things like CPanel/SSH or similar i cannot check the ownerships/permissions.

      Maybe you can set that /tmp (and the other one) location to another location via Joomla, PHP, Cpanel or any other way? You need a directory with the correct ownership/permissions anyway...

      I'm not sure what to do without full access really.

      ok now I got on... You are using apache2handler - that is what is giving you the permissions issues. You should change to cgi/fastCGI instead - you may then also have to reset group/owner on all your directories as invariably some of the will have been set to "apache" group/owner

      I know there's been a lot of going back and forth herein - so I hope you didn't miss what I said above?

      Here is general advice on permissions too...

      For permission issues check...

      i) site > system information > directory permissions - are all GREEN (except config.php which should be red)
      ii) check folders are 755, files 644 and that owner/group are correct using ftp client
      iii) specifically check cache folder and css-compiled folder
      iv) check that your are NOT using apachehandler for you hosting and that instead you are using fastCGI/cgi. If you are you need to correct this in cPanel or Plesk or ask your host to change this. Then you'll have to start again afresh.
      v) Use the Joomla Forum Post Assistant to do detailed checks http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582860
