php - Using Copy Directory Helper in Codeigniter to copy and move files -

i using copy directory helper addon directory helper me copy files different places on web server.

it works if files copying , folder copying located within codeigniter install directory.

i have codeigniter installation in subdirectory (http://domain.com/site) , able move , copy directories in root directory.

directory_copy('./user_guide/', './test_copy/'); 

creates test_copy , copies contents of user_guide it.

however doing (notice missing dot( . ) in destination directory)

directory_copy('./user_guide/', '/test_copy/'); 

causes

a php error encountered  severity: warning  message: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: permission denied  filename: helpers/directory_helper.php  line number: 91 php error encountered  severity: warning  message: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: no such file or directory  filename: helpers/directory_helper.php  line number: 91 php error encountered  severity: warning  message: copy(/test_copy/helpers/cookie_helper.html) [function.copy]: failed open stream: no such file or directory  filename: helpers/directory_helper.php  line number: 99 php error encountered  severity: warning  message: copy(/test_copy/helpers/string_helper.html) [function.copy]: failed open stream: no such file or directory  filename: helpers/directory_helper.php  line number: 99  

...etc each file in directory.

i have checked permissions , seem fine. seems script can’t execute outside of ci installation.

all or advice appreciated

thanks,

tim

without . (dot) refer server root /,
require root user permission adding new folder.
user running apache not have enough permission in case.

simply copy folder apache user able access , has write permission.
