Hi,

I’m on a Linux server and I’m still having the problem, it’ll say upload complete then nothing???

I’ve tried everything, commenting the bits of the php file, turning magic quotes on/off, chmod 777 everything in the media directory and still nothing!

Anyone got a clue?  I can’t believe Magento as been released with so many people having such a major problem to be honest

This is really peculiar, isn’t it? I transferred the data (along with the pictures, obviously) from a local machine to a server (a pain to start with)...anyway, the stuff does show up...except for the Images.

...no, that’s not true. Some Images DO show up. I have no idea WHY those pictures show and the others don’t. They were all created the same. Does anyone know how to...flush the cache? So Magento is forced to reindex all those pictures? The pictures are there. And they do show up in the admin panel...but that’s not where I want to see them...it only shows the place holders.

Never mind me, I found the option to clear the cache...however the images still won’t show up. Any ideas?

According to my observations it always displays the first picture in each category (given the fact there actually is a picture). When clicking on the product, the image spots are emtpy too, but if you click on the place holder, the image appears again.

I still wonder...how can it work flawlessly on a MAMP Apache Server, but not on a native Debian Apache2...?

Only one short update from me and my image-upload-problem:

In my magento-installation, the uploaded images went to media/tmp/catalog/products/ and as I saved the product, the image rested there and didn’t go to media/catalog/products/ .

So, after days of bug-searching I ACTIVATED magic_quotes_gpc!!

Et voilá.... the image-upload is functional! Very weird!

Works for me too!!! After 4 hours searching.

Thank you for solving the problem!

(find the function in .htaccess)

What I did was delete all the folders and images in the image cache folder and everything started to work for me. Try it out.

/media/catalog/product/cache/

Here is a twist. When I tried to replace a product image with a new version and delete the old, I can never get rid of the old completely. It still stays as the base image and thumbnail. Even though in the backend it looks fine?

Nothing helps. I deleted all the files in /media/catalog/product/cache/ and also /media/tmp/catalog/product/.
I tried to activate php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on

Any other suggestion? I am getting crazy..

Environment: Windows 2003 R2 w/SP2, IIS 6.0, PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.67 community-nt, Megento 1.1.6

Image uploads were not working for me either, not in the front end or the back end. I dont have anything customized yet...this is a fresh install.  In the php.ini file (default location> “c:\program files\php\") i changed the temp dir to “C:\PhpTemp” and gave the IIS guest account write access to the folder.  i then had to copy the php.ini file to my Magento root folder “C:\inetpub\magento\” and also give my IIS gues account write access to the media folder “C:\inetpub\magento\media\” (all sub folders are inheriting the permission).  then ran “iisreset” from the command prompt and image uploads started working for me!  I didnt have to change ANY other settings....just the above and it fixed it for me.
