}
}
else
{
return
$this->render('MyUserBundle:Document:upload.html.twig' ,array('form'=>$form->createView() );
}
thanks in advance

Answer 1

I think you created your uploads/cv folder in the wrong path.
It should be project/web/uploads/cv, not project/src/My/UserBundle/Resources/public/images.
Then give Symfony the write permissions to that folder with chmod.
