 * I have installed the latest version of WordPress but can’t upload any files. 
   I’m getting Missing Temporary Folder.
 * I’ve added this to wp-config.php:
    define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/
   wp-content/temp/’);
 * The wp-content/temp folder has the correct permissions.
 * I’ve tried all sorted but not getting anywhere at all. Is there anything i’m 
   missing?

 * You might verify that your wp-content folder also has `775` permissions and that
   both the wp-content and wp-content/temp folders have the proper owner and group
   for your setup
