Catalog images directory does not exist?

[ossos]

Hello all. I have been using Oscommerce for awhile now and we have a deadline coming up to finish up our online store. The store still needs alot of work however I did manage to run into an error that I am unable to find a resolution for.

 

Upon logging into oscommerce admin area- I am presented with this error after clicking on 'Catalog':

 

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /home/sunshine/public_html/catalog/images/

 

Now I have not modified any files that would of caused this I recall. I have verified the files that I thought may be causing this issue

 

catalog/includes/configure.php -> verified all locations are correct, the images were showing up fine before I just uploaded a product 3 days ago and the image uploaded fine and everything showed up great. However upon uploading one day the properties on the object image is

 

its mcafee antivirus suite the product, image is mcafeesuite2005.jpg or something which is in the images directory and the image is as well-

 

 

<<right click> image properties>> http://www.sunshinepc.net/catalog/images/

 

but the product that was uploaded a couple days ago is showing fine with <<right click> image properties http://www.sunshinepc.net/catalog/images/norton2005.jpg

 

 

 

so to me after searching for numerous resolutions on the www and consulting a bunch of friends. I am still stumped and would appreciate any help or guidance in finding a resolution for this problem. Below are my configure.php's which I read about on other sites could be causing a problem.... I have looked these over as well

Thank you for your time!

Usually this error means that your 'images' folder is not writeable - so it doesn't appear to exist. Make sure that permissions are set to full for the images folder (777)

check your source. open the page and view the line of code for the image. in IE use view->view source

 

it only has your images directory. no file. cant tell you why but it has no file, only a path

Vger - I am having the same problem.

I have checked with my hosts and the images folder is definitely set to 777.

 

The server has PHP 5 on it...would this make a difference?

Create new 'catalog' folder on your website oh and stick a new 'images' folder inside it
