Question
Can't upload images to Ghost blog
- Posted November 14, 2014
Started a Ghost blog using the preset application and when I attempt to upload an image it will fail. Just gives a ‘Something Wrong’.
Checked the nginx config file for upload size and the permissions to the uploads folder and all seem fine.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem, can not upload images. It seems since i made the update (ghost 3.2) I checked the folder permissions /images and they are fine (user ghost). So the problem is not the permissions.
this seemed to happen after DigitalOcean sent out an email stating

this just reared its ugly head again and has nothing to do with permissions… it is talked about in depth at the following link https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/11129#issuecomment-559852184 does anyone know what we can do with this info to keep it running.

I can confirm similarly to aliilkertopcu - the problem was with permissions on the images directory. /content/images/… within your ghost instance. Make sure to change the ownership of that directory to ghost and group to ghost, so while running as root user:
chown ghost images chgrp ghost images

I wrote some of my experience solving my problem
Short version of the text: chown -hR ghost:ghost /var/www/ghost/content/images/
PS: path of the images folder may differ on usage dont copy paste it blindly.

Glad to hear the new instance is working as expected. Image uploads should be working out of the box on the Ghost one-click app. Let us know if you hit any other issues!
Changed it to 777, and that didn’t work. Ended up destroying and setting up a new instance and it seems to be working now.
Hey! Are you seeing anything in the error logs? Run
tail /var/log/nginx/error.logAnd what are the permission on the images directory?ls -la /var/www/ghost/content/images/
