[Solved] Cannot change category image

[Eric Nguyen]

I have no problems uploading the image for a category the first time.

 

I am now not able to update the the image.

Pretashop back office shows the latest image and there was no error during the upload process of the new image.

However, the front-end of my my shop shows the old image for this particular category.

 

Image url for my category on front-end is http://myshop.com/c/5-medium/dress.jpg (this structure looks correct, however, this is the old image)

Image url for the new image seen in back-end is http://myshop.com/im...time=1349923021 (this structure doesn't look correct)

 

Anyone can shed some light on my issue?

Ok, I solved the problem.

For some reason, the existing product category images (in /img/c/ directory) are not writable.

So what I did is:

 

1) chmod -R 777 img

this is to make the /img/c/ directory and its files writable

 

I know this is not good in terms of security

but isn't this required in Prestashop installation?

 

2) chmod 755 img

Just to make things a little more secured
