Codeigniter File Upload and Database Insert In 1 form

Question

So I'm trying to insert in the database and upload a file. But when I'm trying to submit, it returns a server error.

The localhost page isn’t working

localhost is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500

I think the problem is in the $this->upload->do_upload('userfile') because i tried to comment out from this part and display echo the config array and there's no error but when i tried to uncomment up to this part, the error shows.

Controller

public function add_now(){
    $this->load->library('form_validation');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('Event_Name', 'Event Name', 'trim|strip_tags');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('Event_Start', 'Start Date', 'trim|strip_tags');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('Event_End', 'End Date', 'trim|strip_tags');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('Event_Location', 'Location', 'trim|strip_tags');

    if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
        $this->add();
    }
    else{   
        $query = $this->events_model->do_upload();
        if($query){
            $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Successful!');
            $this->index();
        }
        else{
            if(!$this->session->flashdata('upload_error')){
                $this->session->set_flashdata('failed', 'Failed!');
            }
            $this->add();
        }
    }
}

Model

public function do_upload(){
    
    $config['upload_path'] = './resources/images/events_photo/temp/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
    $config['file_name'] = uniqid().'.jpeg';
    $config['overwrite'] = TRUE;


    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    if(!$this->upload->do_upload('userfile')){
        $this->session->set_flashdata('upload_error', $this->upload->display_errors());
    }
}

<?php echo form_open_multipart('events/add_now'); ?>
                <div class="panel-body">

First load the url helper in your controller...

$this->load->helper('url');

Then set the upload file path as:

$config['upload_path'] = base_url('resources/images/events_photo/temp/');

Try it might works.

And what about these two functions

$this->add();

$this->success();

I tried doing that base_url but it says in the error that it's not a valid path, so i think the path is not the problem, also the code is working on my other project. The add and success is a function.
