You can make a modification to your code that will tell you exactly why this is failing. Instead of: 
 
&nbsp;copy ($source,$destination); 
 
try: 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-122859">if (file_exists($config['flvvideo_dir']))
{
	if (is_writable($config['flvvideo_dir']))
	{
		if (file_exists($destination))
		{
			die(&quot;The destination file already exists.&quot;);
		}
		else
		{
			if (true === (copy ($source,$destination))
			{
				echo &quot;The file was successfully copied to $destination.&quot;;
			}
			else
			{
				die(&quot;The file copy failed.&quot;);
			}
	}
	else
	{
		die(&quot;The destination directory (&quot; . $config['flvvideo_dir'] . &quot;) is not writable.&quot;);
	}
}
else
{
	die(&quot;Destination directory does not exist: &quot; . $config['flvvideo_dir']);
}

Thank you very much for your response glcummins, some strange is happening, when I paste the code into the document I just get a blank screen, I putted an echo in the top of the document and it won't print &quot;dani&quot; in the screen, just get a blank screen, but if I remove the code you have gived me I will get &quot;dani&quot; printed in the screen, do you think it has something to do with permisions and some functions bloqued by plesk or something? 
 
Thank's :)

		//header(&quot;location: login.php&quot;);
	}
 
	$video_id = $_GET['video_id'];
	$video_name = $video_id.&quot;.flv&quot;;
 
	$source = $config['red5_file_dir'].$video_name;
	$destination = $config['flvvideo_dir'].$video_name;

No, that probably means there is a minor syntax error in the script, and you do not have error reporting turned on. You should check your php.ini file to turn on error reporting while you are debugging, so that you can see such errors. 
 
After you make the appropriate change to your php.ini file, restart Apache so that the changes take effect. 
 
The error in this case is simply a missing closing bracket: 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-122880">if (file_exists($config['flvvideo_dir']))
{
 if (is_writable($config['flvvideo_dir']))
 {
 if (file_exists($destination))
 {
 die(&quot;The destination file already exists.&quot;);
 }
 else
 {
 if (true === (copy ($source,$destination))
 {
 echo &quot;The file was successfully copied to $destination.&quot;;
 }
 else
 {
 die(&quot;The file copy failed.&quot;);
 }
 } // This bracket was missing
 }
 else
 {
 die(&quot;The destination directory (&quot; . $config['flvvideo_dir'] . &quot;) is not writable.&quot;);
 }
}
else
{
 die(&quot;Destination directory does not exist: &quot; . $config['flvvideo_dir']);
}
</code></pre>

Hi!, you where right, the php wasn't showing errors, I created an .htaccess and solved it, I get the following error &quot;&nbsp;is not within the allowed path(s)&quot; where is that I have to allow the path? Thank's in advance. (could I solve it just with an .htaccess?

With open_basedir in effect, you will not be able to access any file outside your allowed directory tree. There is not a way to add additional directories to this structure. Your only options are: 
 
&nbsp;1. Disable the open_basedir restriction, or 
&nbsp;2. Move the required directory structure underneath your existing directory tree.
</div>

<div>
Thank you glcummins, 
is there a way I can disable open_basedir just with an .htaccess for that particular domain? o I must change the php.ini and affect to all domains? 
 
Thank you :)
</div>

<div>
glcummins in my php.ini I have this set: 
 
; Note: &nbsp;If this directive is empty, PHP will let the user modify ANY 
; environment variable! 
safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_ 
 
; This directive contains a comma-delimited list of environment variables that 
; the end user won't be able to change using putenv(). &nbsp;These variables will be 
; protected even if safe_mode_allowed_env_vars is set to allow to change them. 
safe_mode_protected_env_vars = LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
 
; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory 
; and below. &nbsp;This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory 
; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file. This directive is 
; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off. 
;open_basedir = 
 
; This directive allows you to disable certain functions for security reasons. 
; It receives a comma-delimited list of function names. This directive is &nbsp; 
; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off. 
disable_functions = 
 
 
what value should I put? 
Thank's
</div>

<div>
in phpinfo() y get the line: 
 
open_basedir &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/var/www/vhosts/incorpora.net/httpdocs:/tmp &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no value
</div>

<div>
Fixed! 
 
The problem was the basedir as you said, thank you mate
</div>

<div>
Great! I'm glad it is working now for you. I apologize for missing the last question, but am happy that all is well. 
 
Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

Dear Experts, 
I have a little proble, I have a server with red5 and plesk running, videos get recorded with a flash script with red5, they locally are recorder to /opt/red5/webapps/SOSample/streams and my public_html directory of my site is in /var/www/vhosts/televista.net/httpdocs/multimedia/video/. 
 
There is a function in done in php (that what it should do is to copy the recorded video from the /opt/red5... to /var/www/vho.... directory and erase it of the original path. 
 
This process fails, I have changed permision in /opt/red5/webapps/SOSample/streams and changed to owner, but fails.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

Apache Web Server

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
