If I try to download the doc file, I get the error message "The download path is not true." I replaced the path with an absolute path, and then I get this error. Please suggest me how I can solve the problem.

Answer 1

Usually the problem occurs when calling $this->load->library('upload', $config) , it may not load the configuration parameters, so try adding the following statement after loading the load library.

 $this->upload->initialize($config); 

Answer 2

Same problem ... solved with

 $this->upload->initialize($config); 

And it's better not to use .... BASE_URL in $CONFIG['UPLOAD_PATH']

Answer 3

never use base_url () in $ CONFIG ['UPLOAD_PATH'],

Note the dot before the backslash preceding your download folder. Therefore, your boot path should look like this:

  $CONFIG['UPLOAD_PATH'] = './assets/uploads/ 

Answer 4

change the code to this $config['upload_path'] = 'uploads';

Answer 5

better to use:

 $config["upload_path"] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/your/desired/location/";
