Answer 1

why did you delete everything in /home ? I assume you are using linux?

Do this:

1. do a phpinfo() on a test.php to see where your php.ini is located
2. Stop using ini_set, sometimes it does not work properly
3. Set a temp dir in the php.ini
4. Create above temp dir (or make sure it exists) and chmod 775 or something so you can test properly if it's working
5. Check phpinfo() again to see if the tmp dir has taken effect.
6. Stop deleting files you think you don't need before reading about them online
