uploading images

[jekapp]

i have uploaded the cart and created the database and even have the pay module working correctly but when i try to upload images i am getting and error saying Error: File upload not saved, thought i did everything correctly, missing something obviously

Check your image directory chmod settings ...

Have a quick look through the wiki for more pointers.

it is set to 777 first thing i checked out

What environment?

What type of file?
BMP - having a laugh!
GIF - can't be resized effectively
PNG - should be OK
JPG - what most people use.

Is the file a sensible size to begin with? Uploading a 10Mpixel image is not recommended

plesk/linux just trying to upload jpg's

[ridexbuilder]

osC doesn't have any particular requirements - very basic image handling, compared to 'Max. Subdirectories aren't really used to any degree.
Maybe you have a hardened php environment and catalog/images should be 755 not 777
Any indication in your Plesk error log?

switched that still the same, hate to say it but don't know how to check plesk error log

[ridexbuilder]

Can't point you in the right direction as I (and clients) use cPanel - hunt around Plesk.
[A few of my contacts use horrible N**firms control panel - poor souls]
