Image upload 404 error in 1.9.3

[meathamper]

Hello,

Having an issue where I'm uploading photos (1.9.3.10) and they successfully upload but they appear as blank on the product page. I know for a fact they have successfully uploaded and saved because I can see them in my FTP server with the correct permissions, but when I visit the direct URL for the image it just says 404. What is the meaning of this? I have uploaded photos successfully before and they show up on my site without issue. I've also tried clearing my cache and nothing is working.

Best regards

Hello @meathamper

You can solve this issue by configuring .htaccess file in server.

Then don't forget to reindex data and flush cache storage.

Hi @Ankita Biswas,

The question is for Magento 1.9 and your solution is for Magento 2.

pub/media directory doesn't exist in Magento 1.9

Can you share the URL of image which is creating.

Just wanted to say that I fix the problem using this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2422481/magento-images-not-showing-on-front-end

Turned out to be an .htaccess issue in the media folder.

Thank you all so much for your help regardless!

Hello @meathamper,

if you upload, then you need to go /lib/Varien/File and open Uploader.php

Go to line number 219 and change the permission 640 to 644.

Example: 

chmod($destinationFile, 0644);
