I'm using cakephp uploader 4.3.1 plugin from milesj.me. I installed it using the composer its working properly.

Now the problem is when i upload an image one entry is added to the database with image path but i couldn't find the image in the destination folder.

if i dont give destination directory the files will be uploaded to /files/uploads directory and i can find the images there!!!!!!!!!!

        'upload_image' => array(
            'uploadDir' => '/img/uploads/',

Try creating a global variable and replace it with "/img/uploads/". Ex :

define('UPLOAD_DIR', WWW_ROOT . '/img/uploads');
