I need help.... my images won't upload

Go to Tools --> Server/Version Info in your Zen Cart admin panel. Do a page search for File Uploads. If they are set to off then you are better off considering another host.

You would fill in the box in the Products Image section that says "Or, select an existing image file from server, filename: ___ "

Well, I think the alternate method you described here is nice as a backup, (I just tried it and see it works well) but the upload function from the Admin sure is sweet, and I am having withdrawl because...

This morning I moved the shopping cart directories out of the ZenCart directory and up to the main level, so customers are in ZenCart upon arrival at the domain.

Up until this move, I have been able to upload images directly through the Admin, but after the "move-up-one-level" I have not been able to upload the images directly.

I have tried pretty much every solution I could find in the FAQ and Forums here (resetting permissions, etc.), but am still getting the following response at the top of the Admin page when I try to upload an image to a product page:

Have I just overlooked a permission setting?

I can change the text descriptions, it just seems to be the images?

Thanks for any input,

This tells you that the attempt to move the uploaded image from its uploaded location at C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\phpD1.tmp into its destination at D:\inetpub\bhjdynamics/images/po/PO-IB-7.jpg failed.
Typical causes of failure are:
- insufficient disk space in destination drive/folder
- disk quota limitations in destination drive/folder
- destination folder isn't writable
- filename unacceptable for given operating system
