[RESOLVED] "Failed to open stream"

[ixalmida]

I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask about this error, but I'm stumped even after following every tip I could find. At one point, I had file uploads working. Nobody used the function for several months, and today I found out it was broken. The only thing I can think might have broken it would be that I moved the folder location. But so far, that has been a dead-end for me. Folder permissions are 777 on the server, and I was able to copy a file to the folder over FTP.

The errors:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(inet/www/uploads/2c53db608b76dd1bc6fbf817c7c77492): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /inet/www/confirm.php on line 49

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpIt58oU' to 'inet/www/uploads/2c53db608b76dd1bc6fbf817c7c77492' in /inet/www/confirm.php on line 49

The code (after verifying existence of /tmp file, size, and mime type):

// Set upload folder path...
$uploadpath = "inet/www/uploads/";

// Get temp file name (set by php)...
$tmpname = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];

// Get original file name...
$filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];

// Create encrypted file name for more secure storage...
$hashname = hash_this($filename);

// Set full file storage path...
$fullpath = $uploadpath.$hashname;

// Move the file from the temp folder to the upload folder
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $fullpath) > 0)
  {
  // Error moving file...
  $_SESSION['errmsg'] = "Unknown problem uploading file.";
  }

Is bumping against the rules?

I don't think there's any rule against it, but it is generally frowned upon -- especially after only a couple of hours.

Make sure the target directory is writable by all, as PHP web pages are typically executed by the Apache user account, not your personal account.

I'm not sure why, but after a weekend of running troubleshooting code, I finally moved the uploads folder up a level and everything started working. Since I didn't initially set up the server, all I can think is that somewhere in an ini file or something there must have been a restriction placed on using that specific path. So whatever...but it is working. Thanks for the suggestions!
