Ubuntu Server won't upload files with PHP 'move_uploaded_file'

I'm trying to upload files using my Ubuntu Virtual Server.

The PHP function moving the uploaded files returns the following error:

"Warning: move_uploaded_file(files/Site Logo.png): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/test.php on line 5 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpZB7Mxi' to 'files/Site Logo.png' in /var/www/test.php on line 5"

The 开发者_JS百科directory has permissions 0777 which I set through the SSH and it still doesn't upload. PHP.ini is configured to upload ON and stuff but no luck. I'd guess its permissions problems but I have set it to pretty much RWX for every user?

My code originally was too complex for a video system so I tried a basic code like below:

$file = $_FILES['video']['name'];
echo $file;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['video']['tmp_name'],"files/".$file);
echo "Done";

This wouldn't work either. So I am guessing it's how the server is configured?

I was getting the same problem, it was permission problem. Just

sudo chmod 777 /var/www/work_pathname/the_upload_pathname/*

A few things to check:

• You did check the permissions on files/ using ls -l?
• Did you run chmod 777 /var/www without the -R flag?

Still sounds like a permissions error, something small you might have missed...
