CodeIgniter Upload path is not valid - codeigniter

Question

CodeIgniter upload class does is not returning the right full_path. I am trying to upload an image. I write up this code
$config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
echo $config['upload_path'] = FCPATH .'contest/videos/';
$config['max_size'] = '1000000000000000';
$config['allowed_types'] = '*';
$config['file_name'] = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
But it keeps asking that the permission denied. When I check the $this->upload->data() I see the full_path does not have last trailing slash after the last folder. See the print_r result
Array
(
[file_name] => testvdo.mp4
[file_type] =>
[file_path] => /var/www/html/zebra_1975/contest/videos
[full_path] => /var/www/html/zebra_1975/contest/videostestvdo.mp4
[raw_name] => testvdo.mp4
[orig_name] =>
[client_name] =>
[file_ext] =>
[file_size] =>
[is_image] =>
[image_width] =>
[image_height] =>
[image_type] =>
[image_size_str] =>
)
There should be a slash after video in full_path. What I am doing wrong here?

Try this I hope it will help you to set yours properly.
if (isset($_FILES['profile_img']) && !empty($_FILES['profile_img']['name']))
{
$user_img_path = './public/uploads/images/users/';
$config['upload_path'] = $user_img_path;
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['overwrite'] = TRUE;
$config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
$config['file_name'] = $img_name;
$config['max_size'] = '9999';
$config['max_width'] = '1524';
$config['max_height'] = '868';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('profile_img')){
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
print_r($error);
}
else{
$image = $this->upload->data();
print_r($image);
}
}
I am using this in my project
So for me I used this and is working for me
$user_img_path = './public/uploads/images/users/';
OR
$user_img_path = FCPATH'./public/uploads/images/users/';
OR
Editing Yours
$config['upload_path'] = FCPATH .'/contest/videos/';
Instead of
$user_img_path = FCPATH .'contest/videos/';
So try it. If it work for you let me know I am here to help
