How to Handle Issues When Unable to Upload Images in EC-CUBE
When using EC-CUBE, there may be times when you cannot upload product images. This article clearly explains common causes and specific solutions.
Common Causes and Solutions
1. Extension Limitations
In EC-CUBE, the extensions of files that can be uploaded are restricted by a configuration file. Uploading images with disallowed extensions will result in an error.
Please check if the necessary extensions (e.g., jpg, png) are included in app/config/eccube/packages/eccube.yaml under eccube_file_uploadable_extensions.
2. File Size Limitations
If the size of the image you are trying to upload exceeds PHP's limitations, the upload will fail.
Check and adjust the following settings in php.ini:
upload_max_filesizepost_max_size
3. Memory Limit Impacts
When processing high-resolution images, if PHP exceeds the allocated memory, the process will stop. Increasing the memory_limit can resolve this issue.
4. Directory Permission Settings
If the directory where image files are to be saved does not have write permissions, the upload will not complete successfully. Setting the permission to 755 or 777 may resolve this.
5. Duplicate File Names
Uploading files with the same name multiple times can affect other product images during overwrite or deletion. It is advisable to make file names as unique as possible.
Checklist
- Is the extension of the image you are trying to upload allowed?
- Is the size of the image file within
upload_max_filesize? - Is there enough room in PHP's
memory_limit? - Are there write permissions in the destination directory?
- Do the file names not duplicate existing ones?
Alternative: Temporary Uploads or Sharing
If you cannot temporarily upload product images or need to share images for internal review, using an external file uploader is also an option.
