Settings for UPLOAD at a NGINX server

Posted on February 16, 2018

I have installed nginx version: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu 16.04)

A website requires to upload files. I use php 7 for handling the upload.

The form:

<div class="collapse" id="upload_avatar">
    <div class="card card-body">
        <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">
            <p class="text-left">Upload Avatar:</p>
            <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="300000" />
            <input name="image" type="file" /><br>
            <button class="form-control mr-sm-2 btn btn-outline-success my-2 my-sm-0" type="submit" name="avatar_upload" aria-controls="collapse_upload_avatar">
                Upload
            </button>
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

php part:

if(isset($_POST["avatar_upload"])){
    $verifyimg = getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

    if($verifyimg['mime'] != 'image/png') {
        echo "Only PNG images are allowed!";
        exit;
    }    

    $uploaddir = '/members/3/';
    $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['image']['name']);

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
        echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.<br>";
    } else {
        echo "Possible file upload attack!<br>";
    }

    echo '<pre>';
    echo 'info:';
    print_r($_FILES);
    print "</pre>";
}

This prints out:

Possible file upload attack!
info:Array
(
[image] => Array
(
[name] => Selection_001.png
[type] => image/png
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpGpp3rB
[error] => 0
[size] => 299338
)
) 

There is no /tmp/php* file

There is no file in the /members/3/ directory

The permission is 777 for /members and /members/3

nginx/error.log shows: PHP message: PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(/members/3/Selection_001.png): failed to open stream: No such file or directory … on line 197 PHP message: PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move ‘/tmp/phpGpp3rB’ to ‘/members/3/Selection_001.png’
