Answer 1

Check your .htaccess file not to block application folder Check is uploads is CHMOD 777 Use var_dump(is_dir('/photos/')); to see is your directory exist! Finally try this:

    $config['upload_path'] = 'photos/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
    $config['max_size'] = '1000';
    $config['max_width'] = '1920';
    $config['max_height'] = '1280';                     

    $this->upload->initialize($config);
