Answer

First you have change folder permission to 775 for the following folders:

cache, logs, tmp & administrator/cache

then go to: configuration.php

find code:

$log_path = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
$tmp_path = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';

and change code into:

$log_path = './logs';
$tmp_path = './tmp';

problem solved :)
