Can anyone help me to find out what is the problem?

Answer 1

It would appear there is an open_basedir restriction in effect.

Answer 2

Your web host does not allow you to access the default Drupal temporary file location, /tmp.

You can go to admin/settings/file-system and change the temporary file location to something you do have access to. I'd create a folder called tmp in your user directory and target that location instead. You may need to set permissions via CHMOD on it so the webserver can write to it.
