Hello,

1. Have you tried changing php.ini settings?

upload_max_filesize = 2M

max_execution_time = 30seconds

memory_limit = 128M

2. Is the temp dir writable?

3. Have you checked the Apache error log? It helps a lot.

sudo tail -100 /var/log/httpd/error_log

4. If nothing works, please post your code.

Normally you don't have to do this but if you have a really stubborn server you can also if in a unix or linux environment use the chown and chmod commands on the file after it has been uploaded. I have only found this necessary once for a particular host server. It was very problematic and is a tall tale sign of a server administrator that has not setup things correctly.

yes you are rite but if file is from different owner then how can i use chmod cmd ?.

and file owner information is changed after uploading the file.. that is the problem.

1. who is the owner of the file when the file is uploaded using the upload code?
2. who is the owner of the files that were ftp'd to the server your files such as index.php and so forth?
3. post your code so we can see if this may be a host issue or programming issue.

$config['allowed_types'] = 'zip';
$config['max_size'] = '10240';

$config['upload_path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/abc/temp/" . $flderName ."/";

$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data($folderIndex));

$newFileName = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/abc/temp/" . $flderName ."/" . strtolower($flderName)."_".date('H').date("i").date("s").".zip";

$dataArr = $data['upload_data'];
$upFileName = $dataArr['file_name'];
$tempFileName = $flderName.'.zip';

rename($newFileName,$tempFileName);

If you have shell access / SSH, and are on unix, the command to change ownership of a file is like this:-

Code:

chown <user> path/to/file

Thank you Adam Griffiths for the information on chown. here's some more:

chown -R <user>:<group> file
This information is here.

I don't see anything that screams out to me off hand other than function rename() [post this code] since if I am reading your message correctly is where the owner is being changed. then i will do some test this evening. Will address the first issue the second may be resolved from the first but I will test that as well as I use Ubuntu on my development system.
