In my project, I have to upload some video files to a folder which lies outside the root folder. I am using simple php function move_uploaded_file to upload the file. I have tried with the code below.

$source  = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetFile = '/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-3.1.1/content/video.mp4'
move_uploaded_file($source,$targetFile);

But it is not working. Can we done it through move_uploaded_file. if not, suggest a better option to do this.

I have seen some similar question but nothing helps. So any help would be appreciated..

    More than likely this is a simple permissions issue and quite easy to solve.

    1. Find the user that apache uses. To do this open up your httpd.conf file and look for something like:

      User apache
      Group apache

    2. Change the ownership of the folder that you’re trying to upload to.

      chown -R apache.apache /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-3.1.1/content/

    3. Change the permissions of the folder

      chmod -R 775 /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-3.1.1/content/

    And that should be that.
