  1. POHelp with uploading images to EC2 instance (Flash -> PHP)
    text
    copied!<p>I have developed an image uploading application that uses Flash to load an image, resize the image and send the bytearray of the image data to a PHP file that outputs the resized file using the following code -</p> <pre><code>$default_path = '/uploads/temp/'; $filename = $_GET["filename"]; $destination = $default_path . $filename; if(file_put_contents($destination, $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"])) { echo "The file " . basename( $_FILES[ 'Filedata' ][ 'name' ] ) . " has been uploaded;"; } else { echo "FILE UPLOAD FAILED"; } </code></pre> <p>This worked great when I was running it from a dedicated windows 2003 web server but now that I am trying to run this on an EC2 instance it has stopped working and I only get the "File Upload Failed" message. I can tell from Firefox's Firebug add-on that the bytearray data is being posted to the EC2 instance ok but cannot see what else would be causing the problem.</p> <p>on EC2 I am running a CentOS image with PHP and Apache installed, I dont event know where to start troubleshooting this one! Please tell me what issues i need to be looking for here, any ideas?</p> <p>I checked the error logs and get the following error message - </p> <pre><code>file_put_contents(/uploads/temp/abcdefg.JPG) [&lt;a href='function.file-put-contents'&gt;function.file-put-contents&lt;/a&gt;]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory </code></pre> <p>Is this to do with pointint to the wrong directory? or permissions as someone has stated below? How do I give PHP permission to write to this directory and should I use absolute path to reference the directory I want to write the image to?</p> <p>cheers </p>
