Hi, I am trying to get my application to allow me to upload a file to a folder in /var/www. I have tracked the problem in the Upload class to a call to is_dir returning false. The pertinent code is:
Code:
$config['upload_path'] = '/var/www/path/to/folder/';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
// ...
if($this->is_post()) { // function in MY_Controller that checks for post request
if($this->upload->do_upload()) {
// do stuff
}
else {
$this->upload->display_errors();
}
}
(I've omitted the irrelevant bits)
The error that is being encountered is 'upload_no_filepath'. The reason is that is_dir is returning false for '/var/www/path/to/folder/'.
I have set permissions for this folder with chmod.
Any suggestions? Seems I'm missing something fundamental.
