Question

I am using codeigniter 2.1.2 upload class to upload a file to a remote server on hostgator. I got a following error when trying to upload a file.


The upload path does not appear to be valid.


Here is my folder structure:

my-addon-domain/

—-import(target folder)

—-application/

——–controller/

————upload_controller.php

in my controller, I have tried set different path to $config[‘upload_path’] including

1. /home/my-hostgator-username/public_html/my-addon-domain-folder/import/’
2. ../import/
3. my-site-url/import/

None of these work. I am sure to set writeable permission to folder “import”.

Many thanks

Try using realpath

 $config['upload_path'] = realpath('import');

(would suggest your import folder is one level beneath the web server root folder (where index.php resides)

or

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