beechrose Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 When I try to upload images to a product page in the Catalog admin section, some of the images will upload correctly, and others will not. When I try to view the URL of the x-ed out JPEGs, I get the following error message: "The image _______ cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." _________ is in fact the correct URL; I have checked the server and the non-displaying images ARE there, and the directory has the correct permissions (other images in the same directory show up in the catalogue just fine) and uploading the image to the same directory via FTP doesn't help. I searched the forums for this and was only able to find the error occurring for users of the "on the fly thumbnailer" contrib, which we are not using. Apparently it was a known bug between the latest version of OSC and the latest version of PHP5 - could our server recently have upgraded? Or is something else going on? Thanks in advance.

beechrose Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 Turns out it's a server-side issue. The web host apparently hasn't upgraded to the latest GD compression software. We'll just have to upload all the product images in PNG or GIF format. Thank you though!
