The upload path does not appear to be valid.

Hi,

I am trying to upload a file on live server cPanel but it not uploading and i am getting the error 

Code:

The upload path does not appear to be valid.

and some time 500-internal server error

But the thing is same code is running on my local machine wamp and every thing is perfect. I give full permissions to the upload folder and upload folder is on root where index.php is there

Controller:

PHP Code:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Careers extends CI_Controller {
    
     function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->library(array('upload','session','javascript','encrypt','email','form_validation'));
    $this->load->helper(array('form','text','html','url','email','lang','file','directory')); 
        $this->load->driver(array('session'));
    $this->load->model('Careers_model','model');
    }
    
    public function index($lang=false)
    {
        $vars['lang'] =langhomename($lang);
        $langid=langhomeid($lang);
        $this->load->view('careers/index',$vars);
    }
    
    public function cvcareers($lang=false){  
        $vars['lang'] =langhomename($lang);
        $langid=langhomeid($lang);
            $this->model->cvcareers($vars);
      }
   
} 


Model:

PHP Code:

<?php
class Careers_model extends CI_Model {

    public function __construct(){
        $this->load->database(); 
        }
        
    public function cvcareers($vars){

Is your host a Linux server?

Is your host a Linux server?

Yes its on linux machine, Thanks for replying but my problem is resolved there is no issue in the code the issue was Fileinfo module was not enabled.

Why did you put it in model?

Try controller instead and then send success data to model

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

Load  upload file library same official doc:


Controller

Code:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Careers extends CI_Controller {
   
    function __construct()
    {
       parent::__construct();
       $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
    }
    
    public function do_upload()
       {
               $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('userfile'))
               {
                      $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

                      $this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
               }
               else
               {
                      $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());

                      $this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
               }
       }

       $this->load->library(array('session','javascript','encrypt','email','form_validation'));
       $this->load->helper(array('text','html','email','lang','file','directory'));
       $this->load->driver(array('session'));
       $this->load->model('Careers_model','model');


   public function index($lang=false)
   {
       $vars['lang'] =langhomename($lang);
       $langid=langhomeid($lang);
       $this->load->view('careers/index',$vars);
   }
   
   public function cvcareers($lang=false){  
       $vars['lang'] =langhomename($lang);
       $langid=langhomeid($lang);
           $this->model->cvcareers($vars);
     }
 
}

The important thing to specify the directory and set chmod permissions.
