Problem uploading images for products
luth 2008-09-01 22:58 | Hello, I am new to Quick Cart and I am experiencing a problem that is becoming very frustrating. I have looked through the forum and come acros similar issues but the solutions did not seem to work for me. I am running QC 3.1 on Linux with PHP 5.5 and GD2 is enabled / active. When I create a new product and add an image by browsing locally, the product is created but the image is not uploaded. I have CHMOD'd 777 the relevant folders and the owner and group are the same user. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? » Quick.Cart v3.x |

Makaron2008-09-02 13:50 | So why do I see images on Your site? I don't understand.. |
luth2008-09-02 14:16 | Sorry, I did not explain how I got the images on the site. I manually uploaded them using my ftp client then used them. The problem I am having is when I browse my disk to select a picture to have on a page. Sorry I did not include this originally. |
beholder2008-09-02 23:29 | so when you "upload" an image in admin, it doesn't get created as a thumbnail and also uploads in files/ directory? Please check. If it gets created as a thumbnail, you definitely didn't chmod the files/ directory. |
beholder2008-09-02 23:44 | in retrospect, as I read what I advised before, just check one more time if you chhmodded the files/ directory, regardless anything else. |
luth2008-09-03 00:09 | Hi, when I upload, it looks like the file is being transfered up (I have a small app on my machine that shows graphically traffic coming in and out andtraffic is going out). I have just checked my server and the 'files' folder is definately drwxrwxrwx. I don't get a thumbnail, I just get the new product but without the image. I have even tried renaming the file to lower case from upper case. |
luth2008-09-03 00:25 | Hi, I'm begining to think it's my installation that's causing the problem. I have a second cart running on another site and I am getting the same problem. One thing I know I did slightly different when I uploaded the original install was that the transfer type was set to AUTO. The instructions does say to do it as binary. Once uploaded, I tested the install to make sure the basics worked, then I copied to the area of the second site. Not sure if this helps but the more info I provide the better I hope. Luther |
beholder2008-09-03 01:44 | aren't your images too big, btw? because that could cause such a trouble. I doubt however, that you would not try this with small images first. |
luth2008-09-03 09:05 | The images are small in physical size (85.5k) and the res is 480x360. Luther |
beholder2008-09-03 23:05 | try this on a clean, default installation, in an EN or PL language. Do not modify anything, just chmod the damn files and try an image upload. |
beholder2008-09-04 01:14 | oh, by the way, check what GD version you have. |
luth2008-09-04 11:02 | Hi, Below is the result of a GD check. Luther |
beholder2008-09-04 14:34 | So how about a clean default installation? |
luth2008-09-04 16:41 | Hi. Found the problem and I am very embarrassed to say it but to prevent anyone else from pulling their system apart looking for issues I will divulge. Make sure that your PHP ini file has 'file_uploads' set to 'On'. Sorry for wasting your time 'beholder' and 'Makaron'. Luther |
beholder2008-09-06 01:29 | no problem, hopefully this thread will some day help some lost soul with the same problem. |
