This is the error message that I get.

 

Error: Destination not writeable.

Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /home/content/t/a/m/tamekalawrence/html/catalog/images/

 

 

HELP!

[batteryrat]

chmod the images dir effected 777

[warminspirations]

what file would that be in? I looked in the catalog/images folder. I don't know which file the permissions are in. I'm working in Dreamweaver.

[batteryrat]

the folder it self is 777?

im to workin in dream

I am no dreamweaver user myself. But is it uploading from the program?

In FTP clients you can type commands in a command line.

 

there you should be able to type chmod 777 images/

 

and preferably chmod -R 777 images/

which means it will set the permission recursively

 

This needs be done from the path below the images directory

in your case: /home/content/t/a/m/tamekalawrence/html/catalog

 

if you are having your shop on a linux server than

telnet or ssh there and type the above command but than you can

do it from anywhere like chmod -R 777 /home/content/t/a/m/tamekalawrence/html/catalog/images/

 

hope this helps

these are the only folders i have in my catalog/images folder:

 

banners, default, dvd, gt_interactive, hewlett_packard, icons, infobox, mail, matrox, microsoft, and sierra

 

Which folder am I supposed to be in to change the chmod permissions?

I use ssh to go to my server. But I got some ftp clients on linux like Kbear, ftp, lftp and JFTP ( java client which doesn't show hidden files like .htaccess) I prefer using the ssh. Much nice working.

If you are doing this by ftp than you need to in the path above it as in catalog

 

Most ftp clients allow to right click and give you options to choose from.

Otherwise there is commands in the toolbar.

 

in llinux you can give the absolute path if you are in with ssh

like chmod 777 - R /your/path/to/catalog/images

 

the -R stands for recursive so the folders inside images will also get the same permissions as images itself.

" If you are doing this by ftp than you need to in the path above it as in catalog"

 

I listed the folders above in my catalog/images folder

 

"banners, default, dvd, gt_interactive, hewlett_packard, icons, infobox, mail, matrox, microsoft, and sierra"

 

and I am not locating anything similar to what i've been directed to.

You need to do this while you are inside catalog.

Than you set the permissions there on the folder images.

 

Is that what you meant ?
