Some part of your path is not writable by the web server. Look at /opt/reviewboard1 and make sure the permissions are 755. Same with all other paths up to your uploaded directory path.

After changing the permission to 755, then also same issue persists, changed to 777 and worked...

777 may work fine based on the security of the server, but it sounds like probably the directory was not owned by the user that the web server is running as.
