Could not upload file with codeigniter do_upload

Question

My problem is that I have a code that works on localhost but not on production server. I want to upload a file through a form. In localhost everything works fine, but on production server, I get the 'you did not select a file to upload' error.

The view part

<?php echo form_open_multipart('Ajax/do_upload');?>
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="upload image" />
<?php echo form_close();?>

The controller part (controller Ajax, function do_upload)

public function do_upload(){

    $config['upload_path']          = './assets/images/usr_uploads/';
    $config['allowed_types']        = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
    $config['max_size']             = 5000;
    $config['max_width']            = 2048;
    $config['max_height']           = 2048;
    $config['overwrite']           = true;

    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    $this->upload->initialize($config);
    $filename = $_FILES['file']['name'];

    if (!$this->upload->do_upload("file")){
        //$data['error'] = "An error occurred while uploading the image.";
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
        //echo $filename;
        print_r($_FILES);
        $this->load->view('template/head.php');
        $this->load->view('profileview.php', $error);
        $this->load->view('template/footer.php');
    } else {
        $filename = $_FILES['file']['name'];
        $data['up_ok'] = $filename;
        print_r($_FILES);
        $this->savefn($filename);
        $this->updatesesssion();
        $this->load->view('template/head.php');
        $this->load->view('profileview.php', $data);
        $this->load->view('template/footer.php');
    }
}

.htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

So the problem is that when on production server, it does not get any file from the form. On localhost it works as it should. I cannot find the cause of this problem and I have tried almost everything I have found. I have also tried with the default userfile, which again works on localhost but not on server and I have already set the folder permissions to 777.

base_url is fine. htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] — Ηλίας Βλάχος

You only need to load config one remove this $this->upload->initialize($config); — user4419336

I think your domain is not fetching at live server. use ip address or below global variable $_SERVER try to change $config['base_url'] = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
