I have built an application using laravel that uploads pdf files to the public/pdfs/books/ folder. Then I am trying to create a pop up window that will display the uploaded file using the url.Bit while trying to view the file using my pop up box I am getting the following error.
Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:/laragon/www/Uploader/public/pdfs/books/book.pdf
Can anyone suggest why I am getting this error? I even tried to load the file from another directory outside the application and got the same error. How Can I view the file from my application uploaded to folder
You shouldn't use the folder url like this. Because your application is running in local server So it should be able to view the file that starts with http.
To make the link for view use the following code in blade:
{{URL:to('/').'pdfs/abstracts/fillename.pdf'}}
Or use similar type of mechanism so the file is loaded with http protocol instead of from local directory starting with file:///C:
Can you view the file from browser?
file:///C:/laragon/www/Uploader/public/pdfs/books/book.pdf
If not, you should recheck your upload code.
Looks like permission issue, try chmod 775 -R * command in your /Uploader/public/pdfs directory. You could also try changing file permission in cpanel

This is not the first time I am doing file upload using CI. However in this particular case I want to upload images or files to shortcut folder created at project root. This is what my project root looks like in following image:
So basically what I had been trying to do is using php filesystem function is_dir('goku') (goku is shortcut folder as shown in above image that links to C:\Users\Name\Desktop) and if true then create a sub-folder inside it and insert the image or file in that sub-folder. However I didn't find any way to make the shortcut folder recognize as directory and returns file upload error -The upload path does not appear to be valid. Upload works fine on other folder. I know that php is not recognizing the shortcut folder as directory because on running is_dir('goku') returns false. I have gone through all probable solutions but now again back to where I started. Any helpful hints regarding this is highly appreciated. Thank You!!!
Using the library Codeigniter
library upload single file and multi file
Easily upload .
I am trying to upload image to my Codeigniter application hosted on Openshift. My app structure is as follows
App
-libs
-...
-php
- application
- public
- uploads
I want to upload images to this uploads folder. my code
$config['upload_path']=realpath(dirname(__FILE__)).'public/uploads/';
$config['allowed_types']="jpg|jpeg|gif|png";
$this->load->library('upload',$config);
if(!($this->upload->do_upload())){
$error=array('error'=>$this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('profile',$error);
}
else{
$file_data=$this->upload->data();
$data['img']=base_url().'/public/uploads/'.$file_data['file_name'];
$this->load->view('success',$data);
}
But above gives me The upload path does not appear to be valid. error. I have tried several ways. But the problem is the server do not allow to upload to the location.
Normally I can access the files in the uploads folder. But when I try to write data (store file) it doesn't allow. How can I fix this thing.
Note: I want the solution for the Openshift server but not the localhost
The path is supposed to be $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR (which points to ~/app_root/data).
You can also write to /tmp but those files will be treated as ephemeral.
You do not have write permissions anywhere in the file system.
I have created a php file which will open a text file(which resides in the same location along with the php file),and i also added some code thus i can change the content of the text file.It was working great in my local host but as soon as i upload the folder to a server i cant save the changed content to the file some permission related error is coming up.Is there any way thus i can forcefully change the content of the file in server?I mean is there any way thus this permission related issues can be overcome?
Access it via FTP and change the permissions to 755 which allows everyone to read / execute and only yourself to write.
Read more about permissions to find what best suits your requirements.
I am trying make a php script to list the files of a folder above my web directory...I follow a small thing I found here which talked about
a symlink pointing to /var/uploads
a Apache Alias directive Alias /uploads /var/uploads
I did both of these.
$myDirectory = opendir("/var/stuff/stuff/");
That directory there links to like when I go in winscp and click that folder it directs me to it....and when I run my script to list all files inside /var/stuff/stuff/ it lists what is in /home/stuff/stuff.
The thing is when I click the links that it produces I get a not found on the server
The requested URL /stuff was not found on this server.
Would someone please be able to assist me with this?
Since the files are not under the root directory, you will not be able to download them directly, but What you can use for this issue is to create a downloader gateway.
I'll explain:
create a php script somewhere in your app, lets call it downloader.php
the downloader script would get a parameter, lets say: filename
now we could call the script like: http://YOUR-URL/downloder.php?filename=file-to-download
in your downloader.php file you can get the file name, read it from the file system, then force it to be downloaded by out puting its content and configure the correct headers
I'm not sure if you still need that but, if you need more assistance I can help you more with some code samples
ideally you can use .htaccess to hide your downloader gateway script
i'm working on a website wherein the users can upload images (uses php 4.3.11). the files are uploaded with no problem as i can see them in the upload directory and i don't get any error message, but when i try to access the uploaded files via ftp, i get an error: no such file or directory. sometimes, i am able to access the file sometimes i get this error. what could be the problem here?
[update]
thanks for the help guys. i'm not familiar with the ftp daemon stuff. but i do access my files via ftp using FireFTP. the files are there but when try to download them or change the file properties, i get the said error. i also tried uploading a file in the folder through ftp and i was able to download it with no problem.
here is some of the code i'm working on, its kind of roundabout but i'll see on how to improve it.
my working directory is something like this www.domain.com/register/
and the upload directory is here www.domain.com/register/uploads/
users are required to register and upon sign-up, a folder is created for them in the uploads directory. i couldn't find a way to create a folder without having to be in the uploads folder itself so i redirect to a create-user-folder.php file in the uploads dir.
the file just contained this code:
$user_foldername = rawurldecode($_GET['name']);
mkdir($user_foldername);
header("Location: ../form.php"); // redirect back to the page
i checked and the created folder's permission is set to 775.
and here's part of the code i use in uploading ( /register/function/function.php ):
$path = "../uploads/$user_foldername/";
for($j = 0; $j < $num_of_uploads; $j++){
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'][$j])){
$filename = $_FILES[$file]['name'][$j];
copy($_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'][$j],$path.$filename);
}
}
i checked using FireFTP and the files are in the /uploads/user_foldername/ directory and its permission is set to 664. the strange thing is that when i try to download the files, at times there would be no problem at all but there are times when the error will appear.
[another update]
i added chmod() after the copy() function,
$filename = $_FILES[$file]['name'][$j];
copy($_FILES[$file]['tmp_name'][$j],$path.$filename);
chmod($path.$filename, 0755);
but i still get the error.
another thing is that when i access /register/uploads/user_foldername/ through the url, i can see all of the uploaded files and view them, but how is it that i can't access them via ftp?
thanks again!
This is either a permission issue, or a configuration error. Here are things you should try:
What are the permission of the uploaded files? Does the FTP user has access to these files? Have you tried logging in as the user the FTP daemon would use and see if you could read the file that way?
Do you really see the correct directory? Have you verified by putting a file in that directory yourself and downloading it? Have you used the ftp command ls to verify the presence of the folder/folders/files?
You might need to chmod the folder the files are in, or in some cases the files themselves.
try chmoding them to 775
You can chmod files and folders through PHP it's self, with the chmod function. Or, you could use a FTP program such as filezilla.
Also check to make sure the intermediate directories are also permissioned as 755, as all the directories in the path need to be executable to be traversed.
i just figured out the problem. it was all because of the file name having accented characters in it, which explains why i do not always get the error message :|
<sigh> i should have seen this earlier, but anyway i hope this helps in case someone ran into the same problem.
thanks again! i really appreciate it :)
