Resolved Importing Virtuemart M Product images and it is not working

You are right... Iwaslooking for them in the product folder!
sorry!

Hello,
The remote images you are trying to download don't seem to be valid. As an example your debug log shows 404 error with "Remote file does not exist: http://download.dolcepausa.com/images/DEA00000000000000MISMAR.jpg" and it is the same error for all the image URLs. If you copy and run the URL in browser it says the same 404 Not Found error.

Hallo, I'vetestedagain the import with a smaller file to checkif the images were imported but without success:
I have Joomla! 3.6.5
VirtueMart 3.0.18
CSVI Pro 7.1.0

That was it, It is now working. Thanks !

Hello,
Yes this is the information we were asking for. Your screenshot shows that images have been created but not downloaded. CSVI uses file_get_contents to read the remote images and download it to server. This function does not work if allow_url_fopen is disabled on your server setup. You need to check your server settings and see if allow_url_fopen is enabled and then run the import again.

Yes, I think this is what you are looking for (see attached) The imported images all say zero.

Hello,

I assume you were not logged in as the webserver user, so you can't really compare uploading manually with downloading them as the webserver user. I don't know in what other way I can ask to show me how the image files are stored that are downloaded during import as you keep giving me unrelated info. Let me try the following question: Do you see any images on your server that were downloaded during import?

So I downloaded some of the images manually and uploaded them ( screenshot attached). Since I can upload it manually I don't think the size is the issue.

Hello,

Yes, that is exactly the problem. The images cannot be stored from the external server onto your server. So the question is why can't CSVI save the images on your server? That is why I asked what the file size of the image is that is stored on your server. The 5MB size is the size of the original file I guess and not the size of the image on your server.

I don't think I understand, the images won't upload, that is the problem.

Hello,
Can you post screenshot of file size of your images downloaded and stored with import?

I looked at the thread and none of that seems applicable, I don't have time out and size problems.

Hello,
Did you check the link for the thread i posted earlier? The user had same problem and have given the solution that he set allow_url_fopen on "on". What is in your setting? Can you check?

Most of the images i have tried so far have been pretty small, they have all under 5 mb.

Hello,

The renaming is not related to the issue, I was just wondering.

One question you haven't answered yet. If the image can be stored what is the file size of the image? I am thinking that there is an issue with that.

Hi,

tmp/com_csvi has permissions 755. As for the filename, I am renaming the image to make it easier to associate the image to the product. However I tried it with rename turn off and got the same result. See import file and log attached.

Hello,

So let's see what is in the debug log.

You are not being blocked because the file is accessible. First of all it creates the new filename based on the product name and we get this /.../gallexy/images/stories/virtuemart/product/Test Product Image 2.jpg. Next the external file is downloaded to /.../gallexy/tmp/com_csvi/closed_eyes_resized.jpg. The next step for CSVI is to determine what kind of image it is and that is where it goes wrong. The debug log shows an empty identity string and an empty mime-type, things go sideways from there.

This raises a few questions. Could CSVI actually store the external image in the location specified? Does the tmp/com_csvi folder have the correct permissions? If the image can be stored what is the file size of the image?

Something else I wanted to ask, is there any reason why you are renaming the images to the product name? The reason I am asking is because it could potentially create invalid filenames.

Here you go!

Hello,

Since you changed some settings, can you post me your most recent debug log?

Since I got the same results when I used images from another one of my sites I am guessing I am not blocked. Can you let me know what settings could cause this, so I can check them? What should the settings be?
