Can't upload image or file

Using the eZ admin console, when I try to upload an image or a file it appears to work, but when I go to the place where the image or file is supposed to be in, they don't appear. For example, I log into the admin console, then I go into a folder I created. In that folder, I choose 'image' from the dropdown box and then click 'create here'. Then in the 'Edit image - New Image' screen, I browse to the location of the image, put in a name and caption, then click 'send for publishing'. It appears to have worked, because I can see the object in the list and under 'type' it says 'image', but if I actually click on the object, in the next screen, there is no image displayed. This happens if I upload a file, as well.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

Hello,

You known which image system you are using ? Image Magick or GD ?

Also, you have to check the unix rights in your folder storage where are storing the images.

# chown -R user.usergroup var/
# chmod -R 770 var/

The "user.usergroup" notation must be changed to user and groupname that the webserver runs as.

We are using Image Magick.

How do I find what folder the images are being uploaded to?

chmod -R 770 var/

This makes /var and all its sub folders writeable (-R = recursive), which is how ezp likes things. If you can't run this (and the preceding) command directly on the server, you could try changing permissions on /var and each subfolder manually with an FTP program.

Actually, shouldn't that be

chmod -R 770 /var

?
