Until this morning, I had no problems adding images to a new PrestaShop (1.3.7) site I am installing for a client. That is, until suddenly newly uploaded images stopped showing. It took me a while to google for answers and quite a few led me in the entirely wrong direction. Then I realised that after running a file permissions update, my images reappeared but any new images again went AWOL. Trying to view the image links in a new window gave an Access Permission error, so it had to be down to permissions after all.
I still haven’t figured out why PrestaShop stopped giving new images the correct 644 permission when it had done it perfectly well until this morning. But Rocky at Nethercott Constructions had the perfect workaround:
In the images.inc.php file, insert a line after line 256 and place
chmod($filename, 0644);
just in front of:
imagedestroy($ressource); return $flag;
Sorted!! Now, all new images are created with the correct file permission and everybody is happy. Any clues as to why PrestaShop stopped doing it itself are however still very welcome!
thanks for sharing this
Interestingly, I just experienced new image uploading issues after moving this site to a new host (from a Zeus to an Apache server), and here this added line of code caused permission problems until I REMOVED it again!
Where might I find this images.inc.php file?
TIA

It’s straight in the root of your Prestashop installation.
