Question

I made a small script which basically uses jQuery uplodify to upload files to dynamically generated directories. It works fine on my localhost but does nothing on my remote test server.
I inspected the traffic with fiddler and noticed the following warnings are issued:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/data/web/uploaded_videos/majid/file.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /data/web/14/2d/81/jqeedu.tuxfamily.org/htdocs/file_upload/res/uploadify.php on line 40

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move ‘/data/web/tmp/phpRHJQQx’ to ‘/data/web/uploaded_videos/majid/file.txt’ in /data/web/14/2d/81/jqeedu.tuxfamily.org/htdocs/file_upload/res/uploadify.php on line 40

When I inspect the directory structure of the remote server I see that the tmp directory is actually outside htdocs and both are in the same directory. Is this what is causing the failure? How should I correct this?

Answer 1

Make sure that you are:

• Specifying the correct path

• Directories have permission, chmod to 755

• You have put enctype in form attribute

• Data is coming through, check with:

  print_r($_FILES);
