From LimeSurvey Manual
For the script to work properly it needs certain access to some directories - this applies especially to Linux/*nix systems.
- The "/limesurvey/tmp" directory (and all its subdirectories and files) are used for imports & uploads and should be set to Read & Write for your webserver.
- The "/limesurvey/upload/" directory (and all its subdirectories and files) must also have Read & Write for your webserver in order to enable picture and media files upload.
- The "/limesurvey/application/config/" directory also needs Read & Write permissions for your webserver.
- The other directories can be set to Read Only. You may wish in Linux/Unix to set the permissions on each file within the /limesurvey/admin directory to Read Only.
