I solved this issue yesterday in (what I consider) the simplest way, so am posting this to anyone who is still having problems.
The problem is the image/cache/data/ folder: during the install OpenCart doesn't create this folder correctly. You need to use an FTP file manager (I use FileZilla from https://filezilla-project.org/) and go in and manually delete this folder.
The reason for doing this is that you cannot set permissions on it correctly (changing it from 755 to 777).
Once you've deleted it you then need to manually create it again (right click and select "Create Directory" and name it the same (e.g. data). Then you can manually set the permissions (right click on the folder) to 777.
Doing this then means you can upload, and use, images correctly.

Not quite understanding you. You are rebuilding the data/cache so that correct permissions may be given to the image folders or cache/data folder?
Again, how does doing anything with the /cache folder give you access to successfully uploading an image?

I couldn't tell you why switching PHP versions changed anything but the regular bugs are well documented in the changelog for 1.5.6.4 and 1.5.6.3 https://github.com/opencart/opencart/bl ... april-2014 (" PHP consider 0 equal to null" and "Image manager issue where the thumbnails failed to load"). The issue has also been covered in the forum ad nauseam. If you do a search you'll find a dozen threads from the last six months.

Hi all I had a problem where it said image uploaded sucessdully but it would not appear. I checked ownership and permissions and all was okay. I reset the permissions using
sudo chmod 777 -R /mysite.com/image/catalog/
on my apache server and it started working again - the images would appear in the folder now.
Odd because the permissions all looked like they were 777 before but something was amiss somewhere!

I had the problem within the admin from opencart where i could not add any images to products or banners. This is not an answer on the initial question but perhaps it can help others.
I had the problem that one of the images was too large so in the admin from opencart it get stuck when i want to add an image to banners or products.

I had this same issue where I couldn't open the file manager to upload/change any images on the admin interface. This started to happen straight after uploading an image, so I removed the image from the folder via FTP and it then worked. The image I had uploaded was a file saved through exporting a png from Adobe Illustrator. At first I thought it was because it was a png but found others in the same format which caused no problem. I checked the "allowed" list in the "Server" section, png was there. I checked the maximum file upload size, and although this was set to 300000 and the file was bigger, it allowed the upload. I changed this and deleted and uploaded again.. No fix. I went back into AI and saved the file again, this time I exported without artboard to see if this was the problem.. Again, no fix. Last option was to screenshot the image and save as png, uploaded and it worked perfectly fine.
So throughout doing this I discovered that, for some reason, OpenCart doesn't like files saved in Illustrator. I don't know if this will help many people, but I've seen that this seems to be a common problem so I had to share my fix.

i had same problem but i solved it.
solution:
go to Cpanel >file manager>public_html>image>products and look for image file more than 400 kb or your last uploaded image and delete it.
actually while uploading more than 400 kb image , system take too much time and become irresponsive.

Check you have ownership of the directory and the file permission allow it is my best advice. also check you files are in the right folder.
Hi, if you all mean to say that you cannot load Image Manager from admin panel to change the image any where on website, then one of the major reason for this is that your "/image/catalog" Folder contains a larger image file.. say around 1 or 1.5 mb. please delete that file through your file manager and the Image Manager starts loading. I got the same issue and it got solved in this way.
Thanks.
Thanks.
