Cannot get product to show images...

Thanks for the response. I noticed this area, but it actually seemed confusing. In the area at the bottom to select the location I don't want to select it locally. So when I see: Or, select an existing image file from server, filename:, what path should I put? I put: /includes/templates/theme004/images/08.jpg and after I saved it, the path said, IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you try just entering "08.jpg"?

[Dnice808]

Yeah, I tried that too... Same, IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST.

All the cool easy tools and you do not want to use them????
Try one and select locally an image and it will upload to /images. Preview and the image will display - save and you will see it in the frontend.
Why make this hard while you are beginning?

Kobra, thank you for commenting on this. I didn't mean that I did not want to use that feature, but instead I tried it and it seemed that it didn't upload it to the /images folder. There is a field underneath that area that asks where I want to move it to and none of the selections are /images, more like Main Directory, attributes, etc. And when I have tried the image shows up in the config page, but nowhere else.

/images is the default Main Directory. Check that the permissions to this dir are 777 so that you can write to it. As this has worked correctly for all versions at least in my experience back to 1.2.4 this should not be an issue and work if your install is not corrupt in some fashion
