We use /tmp for TEMP_DIR, PLUGIN_CACHED_CACHE_DIR
and DATABASE_DIRECTORY in a lot of functions.
Just set those to existing directories.

Session-wide $TEMP should be used for the cache (editing, plugins),
but user-specific $TEMP does not hurt.
That's in config.ini: PLUGIN_CACHED_CACHE_DIR

Upload needs TEMP, but this is a php.ini setting.

DATABASE_TYPE = dba or file for pages and sessions stores at 
DATABASE_DIRECTORY.
You should check SESSION_SAVE_PATH and
USE_DB_SESSION with dba and file.
