Can you post the "upload_final.php" file. That's the name of the file that's creating the error.

The directory
/home/behindby/public_html/shop/admin
is where your upload_final.php file is on the server. My bet is that in your code you've got something like this...

$dest=mywebsite/shop/admin/images/
$src = /tmp/myfile.tmp //or something like this
copy($file, $src, $dest);

if that's the case you're trying to put the uploaded file into the
/home/behindby/public_html/shop/admin/mywebsite/shop/admin/images/

Which probably doesnt exist.

You'll need to place the file absolutly like this
$dest = /home/behindby/public_html/mywebsite/shop/admin/images

Hope this helps, posting the code would really help nail this one.

Sure here you go

<?php
// required variables
require("../config.php");
?>

<?

// if $img_name isn't empty, try to copy the file
if ($img1_name != "") {

copy("$img1", "$upload_path$img1_name")
or die("$txt_file_error!");

} else {

// if $img_name was empty, die and let us know why
die("$txt_no_file");

}

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload OK</title>

<style>

A:Link {color:000000;text-decoration:none;}

A:Visited {color:000000;text-decoration:none;}

A:Hover {color:F70404;text-decoration:underline;}

</style>

</HEAD>

<BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#000000" VLINK="#000000" ALINK="#F70404">

<?php echo $txt_upload_ok ?>

<?php echo $txt_image?> <? echo "$img1_name"; ?> <?php echo $txt_uploaded ?> <? echo "$img1_size"; ?>

I see no forms in your page!
Also I think this part is wrong :

copy("$img1", "$upload_path$img1_name")

And it should be:

copy("$img1", "$upload_path/$img1_name")

Note: I'm not sure about the $img1_name, since I don't use global variables and instead I use $_FILES, so, each index has an array that name is one of its properties.
