How to edit folder permissions in cPanel
When ZenCart creates new image folders in your admin area, the folders are not automatically made writeable. This will cause you to receive an error when attempting to upload your product images to the new folder.
Permissions need to be set for this new folder.
The first step is to login to your cpanel, usually located here: http://yoursite.com/cpanel
Once inside, click on the File Manager icon in the Files box.
A little box will pop up asking which files you want to work. Choose the domain where your ZenCart files are located.
Find and open the folder “images”
Once the images folder is opened, click on the new folder you created in the admin area. This will highlight the folder.
With the folder highlighted, click on Change Permissions in the top bar.
A small box will open. Check all of the little boxes until 777 is displayed. Click to save the new permissions.
That’s it!
You should now be able to upload product images to the new folder in your ZenCart admin area.
