Hi,

I'm getting this error on my site. I've installed it on linux box over which I have control:

 

Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /opt/www/webserver/yellow/catalog/images/store/

 

This is not a permissions problem on the directory, as is shown below:

[me@webserver site]$ ls -ld /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/images/store/

drwxrwxrwx 2 me admin 4096 Apr 28 22:56 /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/images/store/

 

I have tried changing the owner to apache:apache, which is the user that runs Apache, but that does not help. Here are some other directories that I understand should be writable:

 

[me@webserver yellow]$ ls -ld /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/pub/

drwxrwxrwx 2 me admin 4096 Apr 12 20:40 /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/pub/

 

[me@webserver yellow]$ ls -ld /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/images/

drwxrwxrwx 15 apache apache 4096 Apr 28 20:41 /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/images/

 

[me@webserver yellow]$ ls -ld /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/download

drwxrwxrwx 2 me admin 4096 Apr 12 20:40 /opt/www/webserver/site/catalog/download

 

I can not add images to products or catagories. Not only that, it doesn't even store the image path in the database, and all catalog images show up like this:

<img src="images/" border="0" alt="3 Month Wall Calendar" title=" 3 Month Wall Calendar " width="100" height="80">. The standard OSCommerce images all display fine.

 

Here are some config settings:

I would be grateful for any help on this problem.

on a FTP client change the CMOD properties for catalog/images to 777...i think
