Upload Path - El Forum - 01-13-2011
[eluser]Gerep[/eluser]
Hi guys...after reading the guide I couldn't find the solution for my problem
I'm trying to upload a image but the path is invalid and I don't know why
$config['upload_path'] = '../uploads/images';
My folder structure is:
-controller
-uploads
-images
-docs
Based on the file type I change the upload_path but its not working, the only way is by changing the upload_path to something like: c:\xampp\my_system\system\application\uploads\images
I'm working locally. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

If uploads folder is at the same level of controller the right setting is:
Code:
$config[‘upload_path’] = ‘./system/application/uploads/images/’;or, like this, if application folder is outside the system folder
Code:
$config[‘upload_path’] = ‘./application/uploads/images/’;Remember that you upload folder must be writable.
Hint: put your upload folder outside the webroot and set an absolute path for $config[‘upload_path’]

From u'r folder structure, it seems(if i'm right) all are in one level(inside "application" folder) which is i think not right place to keep such folders. For such, folders(uploads/images/docs) make an "assets" folder in the root of u'r CI installation.
A better folder structure is like this...
-application
-assets
---uploads
-system
-user_guide
Then make u'r config path like this:
Code:
$config['upload_path'] = './assets/uploads/';Upload Path - El Forum - 01-13-2011
