From the Tiki Admin Panel, click the Trackers icon to display its settings panel, the top of which appears like so:

Configure Trackers

Trackers can have attached files. In this panel you can set up where to store attached files (if a tracker allows it). You can store attachments in the database or a directory. The directory path can be absolute (example: /foo/bar/uploads/) or relative to the Tiki directory (example: files/). The trailing slash is mandatory.

Here you can:

Set the file storage location to either the Tiki database or a directory on your web server's hard disk.

Use database to store files

Use a directory to store files

Tracker Attachment Storage: Trackers can be set up to allow file attachments, which will be stored in the either the Tiki database or in a directory on your webserver's hard disk. Storing files inside your database is OK for small files or a low volume of files, but a folder is recommended for a high volume site or when your files are relatively large.

Note the mandatory trailing forward slash on the path, shown here in red. The path you specify can be absolute:

/home/cogley/www/uploads/tikiimg/rm/

... or relative to your Tiki's install directory:

trackeruploads/

Path characteristic checklist:

Has a trailing slash.
For best security, is specified from the root, and is in a separate folder from Tiki.
Has its permissions set (e.g. via the chmod command from the command line or in your FTP client software) to allow uploads by the webserver user.
Has enough space to allow storage of your expected file volume.

If you take a look at your folder after uploading some images, you can see that Tiki randomizes the filenames, as shown in this graphic:

Troubleshooting Tip: If you are having trouble with file uploads, you can edit settings in your php.ini, or, place an .htaccess file in the root of your tiki installation.

# Partial .htaccess file sample. 
#
# Override PHP.ini variables, which can be viewed using phpinfo:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
# If you are using Apache 2, you have to use <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
# instead of <IfModule mod_php4.c>.

php_value max_execution_time	300
php_value upload_max_filesize	"10M"
php_value memory_limit 		"32M" 
php_value session.cache_expire    20000
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime  20000
php_value session.cookie_lifetime 20000   
</IfModule>
