Codeigniter 2 File Upload Not Working / Possible Folder Permission Issue

Question

I'm trying to upload a file on CodeIgniter 2 but it fails. I tried a few different ways, actually CI is getting the file and trying to put it in destination folder but I think there is a problem with folder permissions. Because I can echo file name etc.

This is my model file's related part:

$config =   array
    (
    'upload_path'       =>  'uploads/campaigns/data',
    'allowed_types'     =>  'csv',
    );
    $this->upload->initialize($config);
    $this->upload->do_upload('file');

    $file       =   $this->upload->data();
    $file_name  =   $file['file_name'];

    if(!empty($file_name)) {

        echo $file_name;
    }
    else {
        echo $this->upload->display_errors();
    }

With this code, I can see filename but file is not uploading. I only have root account on this server and all files created and owned by root. Folders have 777 permission. What should I try now?

Thank you!

Use this to track your errors

if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
{
    echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
else
{
    echo "success";
}

I hope you loaded the library as well

EDIT 01

$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/campaigns/data';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'csv';
$config['max_size'] = '5120'; # 5MB allowd

$this->load->library('upload', $config);

if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
{
    echo $this->upload->display_errors();
}
else
{
    echo $this->upload->data();
}

And in application/config/mimes.php

Check there is a csv format. If ot exist add this on array as new item

'csv'   =>  array('text/x-comma-separated-values', 'text/comma-separated-values', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'application/x-csv', 'text/x-csv', 'text/csv', 'application/csv', 'application/excel', 'application/vnd.msexcel'),

Of course I loaded library, I can get file details please read well. Thank you. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 17:45
@DenizB. add this. Then this will show whats wrong. then post error message here. Will give solution ;) – Abdulla Nilam Jan 21 '16 at 17:46
I already added this, please check my code. I said "If I can not get file name, echo display errors" and file name returning me. So, CI thinks there is no error. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 17:48
Oh, you're right. It says: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed. But I'm allowing .csv files. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 17:49
@DenizB. and add if like this **`if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())`** – Abdulla Nilam Jan 21 '16 at 17:50
OK but I already allowed .csv file, how can I fix it do you have any idea? – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 18:01
It's same. Not uploading. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 18:16
whats the error and check file format that you trying to upload – Abdulla Nilam Jan 21 '16 at 18:17
I'm trying to upload .csv, I'm sure that. I think there is a problem with permission thing, I'm still getting "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed" error. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 18:23
No. if perpition it shows permition error. did you check in this ?? **`application/config/mimes.php`** – Abdulla Nilam Jan 21 '16 at 18:24
Yes, I checked it and made the change you said. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 18:25
If there not csv then add – Abdulla Nilam Jan 21 '16 at 18:25
Probably there is another bug. I'm making my search over web now. Thank you. – Deniz B. Jan 21 '16 at 18:29
@DenizB. ah ok ok. Happy to help :) – Abdulla Nilam Jan 21 '16 at 18:30
