How to set upload_path in code igniter as url? - api

Question

Helloo....
I have a problem uploading the image in the code igniter.
I use codeigniter as backend.
the code is like this:
public function upload_image_post()
{
if ($_FILES['image']) {
$name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$this->load->library('upload', array(
'overwrite' => FALSE,
'upload_path' => FCPATH . 'assets/public/image/news',
'max_size' => '2097152',
'allowed_types' => 'png|jpg|gif|jpeg',
));
if (!$this->upload->do_upload('image')) {
return $this->response([
'status' => false,
'message' => 'fail 1'
], 500);
} else {
$upload = $this->upload->data();
return $this->response([
'status' => true,
'message' => 'success',
'data' => $upload,
], 200);
}
} else {
return $this->response([
'status' => false,
'message' => 'fail 2'
], 500);
}
}
When i using it in localhost, it is success to upload image. But when i deploy it, its failed, and show message 'fail 1'
how do I set up upload_path so it can point to any url I want??

If it's uploading on your localhost your logic is probably right.Please try the following see if this helps you.
First of all can you try adding a trailing slash to the path you provided like this assets/public/image/news/
Please check if your upload folder has write permissions set.
Note:
You can check if your directory is writable using this piece of code from this link.
https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-74330.html
<?php if(is_writable(base_url('assets/public/image/news/'))){
echo 'writable';
}
else { echo (base_url('assets/public/image/news/'). ' ' ."is not writable");} ?>
Check if your htaccess is configured properly. May be any htaccess from the following git repository might work for you if the above points does not work.
