Localhost can not upload image
How Do I?
Hi,
I run website on localhost using XAMPP, I create upload folder with these settings:
- Upload url: {base_url}uploads/ (base_url = http://bac.com/)
- Upload path: {base_path}uploads/ (base_path= C:/xampp/htdocs/bac.com/)
Upload file as text, pdf ok but when upload image, it notice:
Cannot Upload File
Thumbnail could not be created for the image. Please make sure the thumbnail directory is writable.
It create “_thumbs” folder inside “uploads” folder but not upload image.
Is it problem because folder’s atrributes is read-only? Because I can’t change this after save.
Thank!
P/S: EE 2 with PHP 5 working, but EE 5.2.6 with PHP 7.3.9 not working.
Windows file permissions for lamp settings can be really tricky. First off make sure you are running xamp with administrator privileges , easiest way is to right click on the short cut and choose run as administrator .
Then right click on your images folder and select properties , then go to security and check that your user or group has full permissions allowed for that folder .If it doesn’t edit it and give full permissions. All of this is dependent on you having full admin rights to the computer
Thank for your reply!
- Run as administrator XAMPP - OK
- Change permission for folder with all user group - OK
But it still not working!
I notice that: run EE 2.11.9 with PHP 5 works well, so I think this problem is in EE 5 itself (except upload avatar, it works properly).
Check your error logs- you might be hitting memory limits or some such. And have you run the server wizard on that environment? GD is required, so it might be something along those lines.
Hi,
I only upload a small image (~200Kb), server wizard ok and GD enable.
It is strange when EE 2.11.9 working ok (with PHP 5).
If you can upload a small image but not a larger one, it’s highly likely it’s a server setting. Either allowed upload size, memory, allowed post size- something along those lines.
So- make sure you have plenty of php memory- check in phpinfo in the control panel (utilities- PHP info). I go at least 256, my local is on 500.
Also check: upload_max_filesize and post_max_size.
It really sounds like that’s the problem if you can upload smaller files.
I have post_max_size=8M, upload_max_filesize=200M in php.ini; but nothing change!
Have you try install XAMPP on win 10?
check timeout in your php.ini
max_execution_time=0 max_input_time=-1 memory_limit=628M (its a example im have free 4GB and set this)
