I have edited your code. It may be work for you. If your folder is in root folder of application then no need to use APPPATH. I have also edited this in your code. Try this.
//Write post when logged in as admin
function write()
{
//insert image
$config['upload_path'] = 'archive/img/news/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '9000';
$config['encrypt_name'] = true;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->do_upload('newsImage');
$file_data = $this->upload->data();
$newsData = array(
'headline' => $this->input->post('headline'),
'description' => $this->input->post('description'),
'content' => $this->input->post('content'),
'creater' => $this->session->userdata('username'),
'ip' => $this->session->userdata('ip'),
'imgPath' => $_FILES['newsImage']['name']
);
echo "<pre>";
//print_r( $this->upload->data());
//print_r($file_data);
//print_r($_FILES);
//print_r($this->input->post());
print_r($newsData);
echo "</pre>";
$this->load->model('admin/news_model');
$this->news_model->insertNews($newsData);
$data['main_content'] = 'admin/write_view';
$this->load->view('template', $data);
}
