I am a newbie in CodeIgniter.. i am trying to upload file .. I am following "CodeIgniter User Guide Version 2.1.3: CodeIgniter Home › User Guide Home › File Uploading Class" example for file uploading.. but every time it returns "The upload path does not appear to be valid".... I am using windows 7 operating system and folder permission is set to everyone full permission.... I have also tried from the example of "CodeIgniter from Scratch- Day 9 - File Uploading and Image Manipulation - Nettuts+" and having the same problem... Please need urgent support

Can you post your controller function code ?
Have you created you upload folder in your installation ? CI won't do it for you.
What is your $config['upload_path'] ?

i have simply use the code from the following page.... and yes i have created a folder name "uploads" in root directory and as it was not working i also created same folder in the application directory.
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/file_uploading.html
Controller:
upload.php
Code:
<?php
class Upload extends CI_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
//$this->document_path= realpath(APPPATH.'../uploads');
}
function index()
{
$this->load->view('upload_form', array('error' => ' ' ));
}
function do_upload()
{
//$config['upload_path'] = $this->document_path;
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$this->load->view('upload_form', $error,$data);
}
else
{
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
}
}
}

"D:\xampp\htdocs\upload\uploads" and also "D:\xampp\htdocs\upload\application\uploads" are the physical folder location, but according to the code it should have been the first one. as it was not working i created the second folder... and yes i have already check the folder permission as i mentioned earlier.

Change the name of your folder...
"D:\xampp\htdocs\upload\uploads" to
"D:\xampp\htdocs\uploads\uploads"
config_path is set to "./uploads/"

Is your Upload library autoloaded in your /config/autoload.php file ?
If so, try initialize your config with :
Code:
$this->upload->initialize($config);instead of :
Code:
$this->load->library('upload', $config);Can't upload file - El Forum - 10-16-2012

You dont understand me (my english is bad).
I try again, when you configure the settings you say that the folder will be "./uploads/" and in your webroot
( D:\xampp\htdocs\ ) the folder is upload .... I think that you rename the folder o change the config_path.
Not¿?

I think /upload/ (without S) is his root directory where CI is installed, and /uploads/ his upload directory where to put upload files
