Product Image upload function not working

[Tosk]

All of a sudden, the ability to upload the image for a product has ceased to function.

After uploading an image, the screen shows nothing, with just the Backoffice-> Catalogue at the top (see attached screenshot).

When going back into the product, a red cross where the image should be shows the image did not upload.

Has anyone else come across this issue or is there an alternative more robust way of uploading images for products?

I've cross checked that the img folder has the correct attributes.

Anyone else come across this problem please?

Most likely it's a memory issue, but it could also be permissions.

To get the exact error, edit /config/config.inc.php, change line #4 from 'off' to 'on' and try again.

Okay thanks for the tip on displaying error messages - much appreciated.!

The resulting error, after uploading a JPG file of around 100KB is this:-

Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/dartdire/public_html/images.inc.php on line 80

This is line 80:-


$mime_type = trim(exec('file -b --mime-type '.escapeshellarg($file['tmp_name'])));

I'm checking with my hosting company about the error message as well, since I've noticed in other forums that this error can be attributed to them sometimes.

Okay this has now been solved. My host has created a PHP ini file which has resolved the issue.
