Hi from Athens! I use PowWeb for my oscommerce based e-shop. In the legacy platform I had NO problem but since I've been migrated to the new platform I cannot upload images of new products with my admin control panel. I try to upload and get "red x". PLEASE HELP! Thankyou very much!

If you let PowWeb automatically transfer your site, the configure.php file was not correctly edited to have all the proper new paths. Check both of them (for admin and catalog) to make sure they are correct for the new platform.

I just tried an image upload on the new platform version of my osC store and it worked fine.

Thankyou Steve. It's true that I had a lot of problems during the migration so I decided to REbuild my e-shop from the beginning. The problem is that I made a new installation with the instant installer of Powweb so I got a new configure.php... I started to work on this template and I could not upload any images with the admin panel...

My usual advice is to NOT use PowWeb's Instant Installer for osCommerce - nor for any complex script. Instead, download the distribution from oscommerce.com, unpack it to your local PC in the layout you want, upload it to the server and run the install script.

Unfortunately, there's not much feedback as to what is going wrong when the image appears to not upload. The first thing you should do is look on the server to see if the file actually did make it - if it did, then look at the image URL the browser is trying to view and see if it is correct. The upload process has two steps. First it uploads the file into the "temp" folder and then moves it to where it is supposed to go. Do you have a custom php.ini? Make sure that the temp folder location in it is correct.

Steve your help was really PRECIOUS!
The problem was in the php.ini that was installed by PowWeb -in File Uploads it was: upload_tmp_dir = /www/tmp so I changed it to: /tmp and it worked.

Thankyou very much.
