osc won't upload images on new products

[excession]

Hi all,

 

Have managed to get osc up and running on a remote server, however when i add a new product the image file is not uploaded. I have tried manually ftp'ing the file to the images directory but this doesn't work.

 

Any ideas what could be wrong?

 

Thanks

It looks like file_upload is disabled in php.ini. If this is the case (most commonly applied on Windows servers) then you're out of luck - because you do need for that facility to be enabled.

i've just checked and file_upload is on for the remote server.

 

I've checked the db and there products_image field is set to null, i've updated the table manually and inserted the filename, placed the file in the right directory but it still won't display.

Check that your images folder has permissions set to 777 (full permissions), otherwise you won't be able to upload images to it. If file_upload is enabled in php.ini then it's likely to be a permissions problem.

yeah, thats it. I had perms set to rwxrwxr-x instead of the full 777. D'oh sorry.

That's okay, you're not the only one who gets that problem!

pls can you tell me WHERE you changed the permissions? I am having the same problem you have but can't find the location. also WHERE do you find php.ini?
