File uploading class bug or my bad ?

[eluser]CappY[/eluser]
The controller:

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = '/var/www/npsig/htdocs/backgrounds/';
        $config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|jpeg|png';
        $config['overwrite'] = FALSE;
        $config['max_size'] = '256';
        $config['max_width'] = '250';
        $config['max_height'] = '250';
        //$config['file_name'] = 'image'.$data['backgrounds']->row()->id.'.png';
        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
        
        if (!$this->upload->do_upload())
        {
            $data['msg'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
        }
        else
        {
            $data['msg'] = $this->upload->data();
        }

That's view:

Code:

<?=$msg?>

<?php echo form_open_multipart('submit/background');?>

<input type="file" name="userfile" size="50" />

<br /><br />

&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit background" /&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;

I always get:

Code:

The upload path does not appear to be valid.

I tried changing to:

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = './backgrounds/';
$config['upload_path'] = '/backgrounds/';
$config['upload_path'] = 'backgrounds/';
$config['upload_path'] = './backgrounds';
$config['upload_path'] = '/backgrounds';
$config['upload_path'] = 'backgrounds';

CI architecture is that way:

root
root/application <- controllers,models,views.
root/system
root/htdocs
root/htdocs/backgrounds <- upload dir

Your bad, I would say

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = '../backgrounds/';

@Coccodrillo note that also tried absolute path:

Code:

/var/www/npsig/htdocs/backgrounds/

Absolute path is messed up for me. The string gets made based upon base_url() i should think, so it doesn't hurt to check settings there. I didn't just make up the config line i wrote, it actually works on my server. So it doesn't help and it's not permission based problem (which the error message would probably describe as such anyway), i'm afraid i'm all out of answers.

I already think it's bug!

after adding

Code:

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

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = './backgrounds/';

Works just fine.

Without

Code:

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

just

Code:

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

same path will not work for me.
