Problem uploading store logo
 We just had a real problem with this.  The jpg file name has a space in it.  Could that possibly be the reason?
 
The error was that the file was not found, and I couldn't get the site going until I re-copied the web files.

Re: Problem uploading store logo
I cannot reproduce your issue. The logo image file with space is running just fine.

Re: Problem uploading store logo
Ok, I think I fixed it. It was because I had the files set as read-only, since I had them in SourceSafe:
 
Unable to open file 'C:\Projects\DotShoppingCartOpenSourceV2\web\DSC.config' for writing because it is read-only or hidden.

Re: Problem uploading store logo
Well, I didn't fix it.  The error I get is that the ASP.NET user doesn't have access to \DotShoppingCartOpenSourceV2\web\Files\dsc
I try to set the properties on these folder by unchecking the read-only attribute and I made a quick attempt on granting access to the folder to Network Service, but
I haven't solved it yet.
 
On my development machine (winXP) I don't have a problem.  I get the problem on a server, don't remember if it's W2000 or W2003.
 
Is there some established routine to grant access to the folders and files that get updated?
 
Thanks much,
Jim

Re: Problem uploading store logo
Yes, you need to grant write permissions to the app pool credential for subfolder App_Data, App_Themes, Files and Images.

Re: Problem uploading store logo
I set the permissions, and we were able to upload the logo.
 
But now I got this message from another user updating the site.   I don't know if you can shed any light on this:

Sorry, I pasted that in from a yahoo mail message.  Here it is again:

Try using Ctrl-F5 in the browser to force refresh all.
