Instead of copying the whole file name at the end of the new file name, just have the extension. Full file name is not required.
So the name should be 13ME2345-<hash>.(png/jpg).

Note Folder permission have to be 777.

sudo chown username -R folder
chmod 777 -R folder

This should do the trick. Now the upload is working on the server.

To be clear these should be the permissions of the folder that the PHP code writes to. So, for the plugin we are using right now, it should be the server/php/files folder that should have 777. NO OTHER folder on the server should have 777 permissions.
