Make sure /home/yancho/pulic_html/tmp/ is writable by the user running 
Apache (usually one of 'apache' or 'nobody'). Access mode 755 gives only 
read/execute access to those users, but write access is also needed for 
the tmp directory. You need to either make the web user the owner of the 
tmp directory, or use access 775 or 777 (depending on the group setting 
of the directory).

Also make sure that all directories in the path leading to "tmp" are 
also accessible to the web user. It is common for home directories on 
Linux to be protected (700) by default, so it's possible that you also 
need to 'chmod 755 /home/yancho/' to make contents of your home account 
accessible to the web user.
