File upload is not working in server but working locally

Question

I have seen my phpinfo file,it has no tmp value set so I set it to /tmp

upload_tmp_dir = "/tmp"

But still it is not working. My server is in Amazon ec2.

I have tried putting the upload_tmp_dir as "/var/www" (with no trailing slash ) ,but that too didn't work. Do I need to set permissions to the tmp directory ?

print_r($_FILES);

is giving

enter code here
Array ( [upload_file] => Array ( [name] => ps.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpBcpdfP [error] => 0 [size] => 193728 ) )

and

 is_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'])

is giving the result 1

Answer 1

It is probably a permission issue on the destination folder.

Do sudo chmod -R 777 /destination/folder and try again. Then it should work. If you still can't upload your file, maybe the permission problem is on a parent directory.

After that, find which user (and its group) is the owner of your uploaded file.

Then set the permission back, and change the owner of your directory : sudo chown -R owner_user.group /destination/folder .
