Bike Store Template, K2, item image not loading

Please advise:

Using latest Bike Store Template. When I try to upload item image to K2 article. The server times out.

K2 does a lot of processing of uploaded images for cached image etc. Try a small image and see if that works.

If that works and you want to use large images then you need to increase your servers configuration (max_execution_time) which is probably set at 30 seconds default. Check with your host provider on how to change it in php.ini.

If that doesn't work make sure image folder where K2 component is trying to write the image files has permission access to write to that folder. You can check that with an ftp program.

See you around...

The images are ave 50 - 75K.

The server is timing out regardless.

Can you point me to what is going on?

Did you check for folder permissions if they are writable.

Also what is the resolution of images you are trying to upload.

Check folder permissions in Components > K2 > information > Directory permissions

Hello - I don't understand the directions that you have below?

Did you check for folder permissions if they are writable.

Also what is the resolution of images you are trying to upload.

Check folder permissions in Components > K2 > information > Directory permissions

1. First check to make sure K2 component can write to image folders.
Joomla Admin > Components > K2 > Information. On right hand side you will see folders and make sure they show as writable.

If they show non writable use a ftp program and set those folders to 775 or 777 permissions.

2. Are there any error messages displayed on screen, if you can't see anything enable error reporting in joomla > global configuration > server > Error Reporting "Maximum".

3. Try lower resolution image, not in size but in lower resolution.
If image uploads but higher resolution images does not then increase following settings. You might need to speak to your host for these changes. You can check current values in Site > System Information > PHP Information.

php "max_execution_time" to around 300
php "IPCCommTimeout " to around 300
php "memory_limit" to 64

See you around...

NO. 1 Suggestion: All Writable w/ no errors.
