check if the upload path is writable

Also, I'm pretty sure the upload path has to be relative to the script, due to PHP restrictions (../../file_folder) not (http://mysite/file_folder). I don't think you can use base_url or site_url. You might be able to use $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] though.

manhuti is right, you cannot set your upload path as http://www.something.com, you should specified the path on the server, por example:
my url: http://www.mysite.com
my upload path: /home/users/~dejitaru/www/uploads
you can get that addrees by printing the $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];

test.php
----------------------------------------------
<?php

echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]; ?>
-----------------------------------------------
this will give you the path in the server where your account is located
