Code Igniter file upload saying path is invalid

I am creating some file upload functionality utilizing the upload library within the Code Igniter framework and I am having an issue where I keep on getting an error back stating that my file upload path is incorrect. I have checked many times and there is no issue with the file structure and the files definitely exist.

Here is my model upload code (I am dieing to check where I am within the process):

class Gallery_model extends CI_Model {

    var $gallery_path;

    function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->gallery_path = realpath(APPPATH . '../images/profileImages');
        //$this->gallery_path = realpath($this->config->base_url() . 'images/profileImages');

    }

    public function doUpload() {
        $config = array(
            'allowed_types' => 'jpg|jpeg|png|gif',
            'upload_path'   => $this->gallery_path
        );
        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
        if($this->upload->do_upload()) {
            $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
            die(print_R($data));
        } else {
            $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
            die(print_R($error));
        }
    }

}

My images folder is outside of the application and is called 'images', which contains a folder called 'profileImage' where I want this files to save. I get the following error:

'The upload path does not appear to be valid.'

I can't for the life of me figure out why this path is not working when it definitely exists. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Is your images folder in the web root? If is this should work

$this->gallery_path = './images/profileImages/';

Codeigniter will only return that error message if $config['upload_path'] is blank or the php command is_dir($config['upload_path']) returns false. Check to make sure the 'uploads' folder is in the same directory as main index.php file and that the directory name is the same case
