KevinMcG Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hello This is all new to me. I'm not sure if anyone can help. We have an online store (www.thebigpicture.coop/shop) but when I've tried to upload new images to the store I'm getting the following error message: Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /domains/37648/web/shop/images/ The person who created the shop advised it was a hosting / permissions issue, but the hosting company say its nothing they've done, so I'm a bit stuck. Any help that anyone out there can offer would be gratefully accepted. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinMcG Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Please set chmod 777 to the images directory so image can upload on that folder. Thank you very much for your help but I am sorry I do not understand. Do I need to type chmod 777 somewhere? Where do I find the images directory? Thank you again.

anechoic Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thank you very much for your help but I am sorry I do not understand. Do I need to type chmod 777 somewhere? Where do I find the images directory? Thank you again. if you are using Firefox there is a great ftp client called FireFTP once you connect you can right click on a directory or a file and get 'Properties' a dialog window comes up and allows you to set the permissions there either as a chmod number or with check boxes for: read write execute which is the same as setting one number if you set these you should also see the chmod number change images dir should be oscommerce/images/... hope this helps!

germ Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just an "FYI'.... With your images folder at "777" permissions it's only a matter of time before you're shop get's hacked.... :-" There are bots crawling all over the net looking for just such opportunities. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
