The upload destination folder does not appear to be writable.

Getting this error when trying to use the upload class.

I have double checked, and the url being passed in when loading the library has FULL (777) perms on the server. Why do you think I am getting this?

Hi,
What do you mean by saying "url being passed..."? Upload path must be filesystem path, not a URL.

[eluser]gillbates[/eluser]
yeah, what do you have in "$config['upload_path']"?

Sorry, I have no idea... this post is so old I do not even remember what project this was on.

Are you having difficulties? I may be able to help.

oops.. didn't notice this thread has been inactive for almost a year! Serves me right for not looking at the date of the last post.

Actually I was doing a search for "folders that need to be writable in a CI project" (aside from the uploads folder of course). Found this thread, thought I would help out. Thanks for replying.

No worries.

Aside from uploads, your cache and system/logs folders should be enabled for writing.

I wrote a little script (outside of CI) to test an installation for various things. One of them was if certain folders existed and are writable. Very nice when debugging a fresh install in an environment not familiar with.
