I realize there is some sort of problem with permissions on either my tmp folder or the images folder I created in the /var/www folder. I know that /var/ww
try this: sudo chown -R 777 /var/www/images
sudo chown -R 777 /var/www/images
you need to give the file a public permission 777 OR 755 so the file can be uploaded to the specified directory its only a permission
