Error Error: Catalog images directory is not write

[Guest]

Hiii everybody...

 

I'm trying to add product but the image doesn't exist at all... I don't know what should i do... I have located the image in web server root (/../../htdocs/). When I view the product the image doesn't exist.. anyone can help me...

Images need to be located in the 'images' directory. e.g. htdocs/images/

 

The configure.php files are already setup to look for images in the 'images' directory - all you have to do is to upload them to that directory.

I'm having the same problem, and I have the image in the proper directory.

If I try to upload it, it says, "

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/tatumtra/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/images/atvbagcomp.bmp): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/tatumtra/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/admin/includes/classes/upload.php on line 94

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/var/tmp/phpl0IVhN' to '/home/tatumtra/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/images/atvbagcomp.bmp' in /home/tatumtra/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/admin/includes/classes/upload.php on line 94

 

I don't understand because the images folder is modded 777, so why a permissions error?

And, even after the image is placed in the images folder, then I edited the product in the dB and pointed to the image and STILL no image, says "No File Uploaded".

Still searching....

I posted this in another thread also:

 

My FTP client was setting my permissions to 777, but when I looked in file manager, they never changed.

 

I guess something odd with my FTP program.

 

I had to go into file manager to actually affect the folder correctly.

When I did that (to 777), it worked fine.

stranger things have happened i guess....

 

So the moral is, look in file manager to make sure your images folder is set to 777.

hope it works,

cheers,
