Error Copying Image

[libvb]

Hi,

 

I've read many of the threads concerning this issue, but still was not able to fix it.

This store is running Prestashop 1.6.1.3.

 

I'm trying to import a csv file with just one product and one image for the product.  The server generates the error message "Error copying image upload/vr.jpg"

The vr.jpg file is about 230kb.

 

In classes/Tools.php, placed var_dumps to $source and $destination:

string(14) "/upload/vr.jpg"
string(49) "/usr/local/www/prestashop/img/tmp/ps_importhld2fh"

Then, did the same thing in AdminImportController.php after the comment // associate image to selected shops, lines 1829...

and got:

$product->id: string(1) "2"
$image->id: string(2) "27"
$url: string(13) "upload/vr.jpg"
$regenerate: string(0) ""

But could not understand why I get the error.  Tried already to place the picture in different locations, use absolute and relative paths.

Tried http://localhost/vr.jpg

         http://192.168.0.2/vr.jpg

 

         all with single, double or no quotes, the image is always retrieved.

 

When executing the import csv procedure, the working directory is in /admin/, am I right?  One should use relative paths from there?

Is there a defined place where to upload the images to the server?

 

 

I'd appreciate help on this.

I have the same issue and I guess it's a global and critical unfixed BUG...

Prestashop please update your system and let us upload our images with a CSV file again!!!

 

 

 

Hello. Did anyone find a solution for this issue because I am experiencing the same?

 

 

 

I am using Prestashop 1.6.1.4.

 

I tried many suggestions:

 

1) changed the permission of the folder in cpanel

2)used image urls without dashes, underscores or other special characters

3) changed the Classes/Tools.php file replacing

From:

"return @copy($source, $destination, $stream_context);"

 

to:

"return @copy($source, $destination);"

4) I updated my Prestashop version

5)disabled and re-enabled mod security.

6) I also tried 5 different versions of prestashop believing that it was a version bug but all to no avail.

 

Could it be an external issue outside prestashop because I went back to PS 1.5.x.x and had the same issue? That should not happen because

 my image urls were uploading back then and on up to 1.6.0.x. Like a host or IP configuration issue?
