How to change upload directory path of ckfinder in codeigniter

Question

I have integrated ckfinder 3 for php and after uploading images, getting the directory of uploaded images in the root, not in my project directory but I need inside my project directory like project/upload/ckfinder/userfiles

I am trying as follows in the ckfinder/config.php file of ckfinder:

$config['backends'][] = array(
    'name'         => 'default',
    'adapter'      => 'local',
    'baseUrl'      => base_url().'upload/ckfinder/userfiles/',
    //'root'         => '', // Can be used to explicitly set the CKFinder user files directory.
    'chmodFiles'   => 0777,
    'chmodFolders' => 0755,
    'filesystemEncoding' => 'UTF-8',
);

But It is not working
Please help me. Thanks in advance

baseUrl is optional for setting the backend and root is required.

If "project" is the folder where the CodeIgniter file index.php is found then use this backend

$config['backends'][] = array(
     'name'               => 'default',
     'adapter'            => 'local',
      //'baseUrl'            => '',
     'root'               => FCPATH .'upload/ckfinder/userfiles/',
     'chmodFiles'         => 0755,
     'chmodFolders'       => 0755,
     'filesystemEncoding' => 'UTF-8',
     'followSymlinks'     => true
 );
