Im having problems uploading product images. It worked at first but now it doesnt. Could it be to do with my file permissions?

Tom,

This depends on how you are uploading the files but yes, permissions have a great deal to do with it. Ensure your folder is set to 755 if you can get away with it 705.

If you are referring to the upload of product images during the product creation, you can also check your path in the configure.php file to ensure you have that set properly as well.

755 works only at 20% servers..
If that doenst work, try set these folders:

includes/languages/YOURLANGUGES-FOLDER/images/buttons

and

/images


to CHMOD 777

Silas,

Your suggesting to someone to leave their images folder open to everyone at 777 ? That's good advice from someone with all the experience you have. <_<

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
