Hello AGU1000,
You have some kind of permission problems on your server.
In the Joomla backend, go to:
System (top menu) >> System Information >> Directory Permissions
Make sure all files and folders apart from the global configuration.php are writable.
If they aren't, then you will need to change the permissions, so that all folders are set to 755 and files are set to 644.
You can either do this using an FTP client such as FileZilla or a Joomla extension such as Admin Tools.
If you have already done this, then make sure you have defined your log directory correctly, as sometimes the path to the logs folder may be incorrect. To check/change the path, in Joomla backend, go to Global Configuration and then choose the Server tab and check if the Path to Log folder is correct.
Also, note that you can download the Joomla update package and upload it to the root of your website and extract it rather than use the Joomla update feature.
Or this issue can be related to not correct path to your logs and tmp folders. You have two way to edit this path:
Go to ftp of your account and find this file and edit via cuteftp or filezila or file manager .... configuration.php and find path of tmp or log folders and replace with correct path
Go to admin part of joomla Global Configuration --> System --->
Path to Log Folder
*/home/**yourusername**/public_html/logs*
Global Configuration --> server ---> you can see Path to Temp Folder and change it to
*/home/**yourusername**/public_html/tmp*
after home you should replace your hosting account user name
if you using plesk or directadmin or other control panel you should contact your hosting support regard these path address and replace it in where mentioned
