Can't Upload Image Files

[finfera]

I am an expereinced web page designer but this is the first time I am using soholauncher. When I try to upload a reasonable sized jpg image file I get a system error message. I use the upload file icon on the top navigation bar. I just installed soholauch on my web site thru my fantasico icon. It is 4.81 Build 05. I am open for suggestions.

I found I can upload documents but not image files. Any suggestions?

First check the permissions on your /images and /media folders, which are both in your doc. root. Try changing the permissions to 777. Also check your php settings, it may be that your php is capping php's upload size at the default 2mb.

Also depending on the size of your pic would maybe reccomend contacting your host to up the limit on your PHP.INI file. Generally set at default of 2.5mb. If image larger than that speak to them about upping it to something like 8mb??!!!?!?

I'm having the same problem, and I'd change the permissions, except I can't, the folder is owned by nobody:nobody (which I'm guessing is what the web server is running as). What do I have to do to get around this? Have my ISP add me to the nobody group? Is there another way? Thanks.

If you have Fantastico, then you are using cPanel, which has an integrated File Manager. If you cannot change the permissions of the folder using FTP, open up File manager, browse to the directory by clicking on the folder icons, then click the file/folder you want to change permissions on. You will see the option to change the permissions in the top right corner of your screen.

Hope that helps.
