Error: Destination does not exist.

[rhurd]

Hi there, i know there's a really easy solution to this but I've spent too many hours and too much time on the forum to waste anymore knowing someone has a few lines for me to resolve this.

 

A site that works perfctly on my local machine does this when put live, In my admin I get this error when trying to upload a product image.

 

Error: Destination does not exist.

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /images/

 

I get this error when trying to upload files from product_info.php

Error: destination does not exist.

 

ANy ideas? should I paste my config settings here?

 

Thanks Ryan

Try changing the permissions on your image directory to 777. If that does not work you need to make sure the path in your configure.php file matches the actual location of the directory.

The permissions are correct, but the config paths are wrong, I'm just not sure what does what.

 

Could you check this out for me:

includes/config

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.cards4sa.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.cards4sa.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

admin config:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.cards4sa.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', ''); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); // absolute pate required

Spot anything odd?

Moved on a bit. Thanks for your help BTW. Played aorund with the /'s in the config files

 

Now I get an error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/uploads/374santas helper.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\cards4sa.com\httpdocs\includes\classes\upload.php on line 114

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\php2E79.tmp' to 'images/uploads/374santas helper.jpg' in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\cards4sa.com\httpdocs\includes\classes\upload.php on line 114

 

Seems like a permission problem but every file and folder that's associated has chmod 777 set.

 

Any further insight?

 

Cheers Ryan

You still have things wrong in your config files e.g.

 

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/admin/'); // absolute path required - check to find out what your path is

 

This (below) should be something like I have written, and is from includes/configure.php - and not from admin/includes/configure.php as you have it listed

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/');

 

and this, should be like so

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.com');

I finally came right on this, hopefully it'll help others in future - so often people in this forum say "I finally came right , thanks for your help..." and then don't eloborate on what they did!!. I'm using smartftp to change my chmod permissions. I made sure the upload and config folder was 777 during the install and to allow uploading into that folder.

 

Only when I looked at my permissions in plesk did it tell me otherwise - these were protected (not sure what the chmod was couldn't pick that up) all I know is I ticked the correct boxes and eveything was resolved. What a nightmare for such a simple task. Thanks again for all your help. Hopefully this comes in handy.
