Still cannot get admin to upload to sub dirs in images dir

I am trying to use the new products page in Amin to upload images for a product into the folders that I created within images. They show fine in the pull down menu for where to upload to. But when I select the file (located elsewhere on system) and then choose the folder to upload to and do the preview nothing is shown.

Either I am not using the feature right or this is not working (likely the former :smile: ) Can someone explain how this is used so I can see if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks

Are you sure that the folders you are uploading to have the proper permissions? chmod to 755 on your folders/subfolders under images should resolve the problem.

No I did not think of that when I created them. Will look at them again, file permissions seem to be one of the biggest headaches here :smile:

I just checked they are already 755?:huh:

Your server may not like 755 you can try 777 and see if that helps the problem.

Yes that is it, it wants 777 and not 755. Thanks everyone!:yes:

My old host used 777 as well, I'd forgotten that, but am glad you were able to get it resolved. :)
