I believe you need to update the directory "/var/www/testing/sites/default/files/civicrm/upload" to reflect your installation directory:
/var/www/yoursitefoldernamehere/sites/default/files/civicrm/upload
There may be another subfolder in your setup, like htdocs before the 'sites' folder as well.
You need to add this in civicrm.settings.php. Once you have added overided the settings clear CiviCRM cache so that the settings are updated correctly.

1Whenever I add those lines inside the civicrm.settings.php. I always getting this kind or error. "Failed to make directory (customFileUploadDir) at /var/www/testing/sites/default/files/civicrm/upload. Please update the settings or file permission" Commented Nov 11, 2018 at 0:45

isn't this an issue with your server settings w.r.t. the permissions on that file. basically it is saying ' you don't have permission to edit/save this file'– petednz - fuzion ♦Commented Nov 21, 2018 at 1:40
I think this could be an issue with your server settings w.r.t. the permissions on that file. basically it is saying 'you don't have permission to edit/save this file' so you either needs to fix them or use sudo

civicrm.settings.phpfile? If so, please edit the question to include which CMS you're using (WordPress, Drupal, Backdrop, Joomla)
