Magento

Hi there,

Everything works fine except for the image uploader for the product images.  it runs...it loads up to 100% then it says HTTP error and turns all red.  I don’t know what it could be considering i’ve been able to upload category images just fine. 

is it a permissions problem?
.htaccess?
i just don’t know…

please help!

Hello

I just realise that I have the same problem. I can upload image for categories, but I have an HTTP error when I try to upload product image (configurable or simple product...)
I also have a window asking for an identification.

I tried to set CHMOD 775 or 777 to /media, but it didn’t change anything

Maybe it’s because Apache doesn’t run as the same user as the owner of the folder ? But I tried with CHMOD 777… and it works fine with category images :/

- Magento 1.2.0.1 -

yeah, its blowing my mind. 

i feel like it must be something simple...also having product images is kind off a huge piece of the e-commerce pie.

do you know which files need the permission to be 777 for all uploads?

None, as far as I know.

All folders should be 755
All files should be 644
Except :
- app/etc var var/.htaccess > 775
- media and subfolders > 775

do you think it could have something to do with having deleted all the start up products that come on magento?  maybe the database is screwed up and having issues?

or would you guess something with server security?

SOLVED:

call your hosting support and ask them to check and see if MOD_Security has been rejecting upload requests form your URL.

Am trying in my local PC. I got the same issue.
But i didn’t get any error messages in apache error log.
Any suggestions…

Anyone know what to do about this?

its a huge issue for me.. got serveral clients waiting for their MAGENTO shop and i cant set it up…

Hi,
This is one of the major issue from me. I’m waiting for long time, but no one give any solution to this.

All are says mod_security problem, any one can explain about it.
Thanks in advance.

To anyone that has a HTTP upload error AND has a password protected store directory (for under construction reasons):
remove the directory password protection and you’ll be able to upload your files again! That was what happened to me.

Thanks sil, that corrected my error.  Is there another way to simply restrict public access to a Magento site w/out effecting the admin permissions?

Where can I remove the directory password protection?

in the .htaccess file you can look for the password protection and remove it.
Also if you want to keep the admin working fine just try limiting it by the < LIMIT GET POST >
tag you can read more about it on the apache web server pages here :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#limit

hope this helps..

Cheers

I am having the same issue but I am not using .htaccess but I am using etoken for security everything was working fine then suddenly I get this error

Please help. I have the same error. For good 2, 3 months everything was fine. And suddenly I have this error. Magento 1.4.1

Kind regards Paul

I had exactly the same problem for uploading files for downloadable products. I had password protection on the magento directory since I was in ‘construction mode’ I took password protection off the directory and tried again. Everything worked perfectly.

After much searching, many attempts and buckets of frustration, my downloads are finally working. Happy happy happy!
