"The upload path does not appear to be valid" (PULLING MY HAIR OUT !!!!) [SOLVED] - El Forum - 06-07-2008

I don't understand why this stupid thing won't work. The application works perfectly fine on my local server, but once I upload it to the actual site I get the "The upload path does not appear to be valid" error when I attempt to upload an image.

- The path of the image is at the root of both servers (local and remote), so I've set the path like this: $config['upload_path'] = '/uploads/';

- I've already changed the mode of the file to 777

- I used an absolute path and it didn't work. I even tried using '../../../../uploads', but that doesn't work either.

Is there anything else I could check? this is driving me crazy..

Have your tried to

Code:
var_dump(is_dir('/upload/'));

to see, if PHP can access the directory on the server?

Is this a shared server, then I don't think that '/upload/' is the correct path. Using

Code:
var_dump($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

you can find out the "real" path to your script - and thus to your "upload"-dir.

All, i was having this issue on a local windows installation. After some debugging, i found that although i was passing the config variables when loading the library, they were not being read properly.

In any case - to fix it, I simply called the initialization script right after i loaded the library, like so:

Code:
$config['upload_path'] = 'uploads';

$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';

$config['max_size'] = '2048';

$config['max_width'] = '1024';

$config['max_height'] = '768';

$this->load->library('upload', $config);

$this->upload->initialize($config);

Why does everyone miss the period?

Code:
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';

./ up one directory!
