[OpenCart] Warning: File could not be uploaded for an unknown reason!

Question

I encountered with following error when uploading the image file from OpenCart admin panel.

 

Answer 1

This error most time link to php.ini file and directory permission.

1. First, confirm the public_html> image directory permission level is set to 755. If not then visit how to change file or directory permission.
2. Still not solved then, create/edit  php.ini  file at below path
   1. Home directory where public_html is located.

      allow_url_fopen = On
      allow_url_include = Off
      asp_tags = Off
      display_errors = Off
      enable_dl = Off
      file_uploads = On
      max_execution_time = 30
      max_input_time = 60
      max_input_vars = 1000
      memory_limit = 128M
      post_max_size = 8M
      session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
      session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56"
      upload_max_filesize = 8M
      zlib.output_compression = Off

   2. public_html directory or a directory where OpenCart is installed.

      magic_quotes_gpc = Off;
      register_globals = Off;
      default_charset	= UTF-8;
      memory_limit = 64M
      max_execution_time = 36000
      upload_max_filesize = 8M
      safe_mode = Off;
      mysql.connect_timeout = 20;
      session.auto_start = Off;
      session.use_only_cookies = On;
      session.use_cookies = On;
      session.use_trans_sid = Off;
      session.cookie_httponly = On;
      session.gc_maxlifetime = 3600
      allow_url_fopen = on
      display_errors = Off
      ;error_reporting = E_ALL;
      allow_url_include = Off
      asp_tags = Off
      enable_dl = Off
      file_uploads = On
      max_input_time = 60
      max_input_vars = 1000
      post_max_size = 8M
      session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56"
      zlib.output_compression = Off
      

   3. Done..!
