Images not getting uploaded from frontend of a PHP Application

Hi @steveDolphin,

It does sound like folder ownership or permission issue. The first thing I suggest doing is fixing the ownership. You should run, the command you posted chown -R www-data:www-data for your website, all of it. so it should look like so

chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/website

Next, I would suggest, checking if all permissions are correct. Unless you have any specific permission requirements, the usual stuff is 644 for file and 755 for folders. You can fix them both with two commands like so

 find /path/to/website -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; &&  find /path/to/website -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Heya,

You can use the browser developer tools to inspect the network requests when you attempt to upload an image from the front end. Check if there are any error responses or if the request is not being made at all. This can help you pinpoint where the issue might be occurring.

Review your web server configuration (e.g., Apache or Nginx) to ensure that it allows file uploads. Sometimes, server settings like upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in PHP settings (if you’re using PHP) may need to be adjusted to allow larger file uploads.
