Pics not loading through admin

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I can't find this problem in any of the forums, so I'm hoping someone can help. I just installed a new osC site, and have only one major contribution, so far - Ultimate SEO URL's. I have started uploading products, but none of my product photos are loading. After I list a new product, set options including chooseing photo, and select 'preview', it says photo doesn't exist. I know it does exist, so I'm wondering why it's not loading. Any ideas would be great. My configure.php in admin/includes folder has image directory listed correctly.

 

Many Thanks,

After you upload see if there is a small warning message at the top of the page saying something like "Warning - images directory is not writable, no file uploaded" If there is then the images directory has to be 777 for the permissions.

 

Product images are stored in catalog/images, not the admin directory.

Java Roasters,

 

Thanks for trying to help. I know where images are stored, that's not the problem. I am not getting any error messages after uploading picture, just the notification that the picture doesn't exist. After waiting a couple of hours, I came back and the picture I uploaded was there. When I continued to add products, the photos were again listed as not existing, although the original one was still there.

 

Wierd, huh?

Go to your osC admin panel --> Tools --> Server Info and look for an entry called 'file upload' and make sure that it is enabled. If it's not then you are in trouble because you need this feature to be enabled. If it is enabled then post your includes/configure.php file here, minus the database user name and password.

Thanks Vger for taking a look. My server does have file upload enabled. My includes/configure.php is:

That file looks fine - and when I go to your site there are only four products and all their images display fine.

Thanks for the help. I changed the way I uploaded pics and now things work fine. Before, I was creating pics and saving in a file on my desktop. When I loaded pics, I went to this file and chose the one I wanted. This didn't work. Now I export the pic to my local site image file, and check that file into remote host before adding product and choosing that pic from site image file. This works fine.

 

Again, many thanks Vger!

Hi, I have the same problem as you had. Can you tell me how to choose "that pic from site image file" as my browser will only take me to local files. I can upload through ftp (fetch or dreamweaver) so this might solve the problem as you clearly have.

 

cheers
