Hi,
I was trying to change my slider image on my magento via its admin panel, but when i tried to upload new image it gave me this error message: “The directory /var/www/html/magento/media/wysiwyg/blanco is not writable by server.”
The thing is - I can upload it via filezilla and insert URL, but for some reason I can’t do so via Magento admin panel - why?
Maybe i need to change somewhere access/permission? If so - how?
Thanks

Is also gives me this error when I try to upload via admin:
- SSL Error: Invalid or self-signed certificate
- Upload I/O Error
-
Regarding the error “The directory /var/www/html/magento/media/wysiwyg/blanco is not writable by server.”:
-
Check if that folder exists and whether it has write permissions – 777. 2 The solution is to change just one setting in admin: System -> Configuration -> General -> Content Management -> Use Static URLs for Media Content in WYSIWYG for Catalog to Yes Dont forget to clear the caches when you are done!
-
The Flash Upload doesn’t handle invalid or self-signed certificates. It just throws an error, therefore you have two possibilities:
- Create a certificate and make sure it is trusted in your system.
- Just remove the https from the url and use http on your local dev system (the url can be changed in the backend: System > Config > Web > (Un)secure Baseurl
- You could also try using a different browser, e.g. Internet Explorer.
