Hope this will help you :

Your do_upload method should be like this :

public function do_upload() 
{
    $config['upload_path'] = './upload/';
    $config['allowed_types']='gif|jpg|png';
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    if($this->upload->do_upload('image_file'))
    {
        $filename = $this->upload->data('file_name');
        echo  $filename;die;
    }
    else
    {
        print_r($this->upload->display_errors());
        die;
    }
}

UPDATE :

set upload_max_filesize in your php ini greater than 2MB,

if it is wamp just follow :

click on wamp => php => php settings => upload_max_filesize
