Trouble Uploading Photos to My Website via cPanel – Need Help
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone out there can help me with an issue I’ve been struggling with. I’m trying to upload photos to my website using cPanel, but I’m hitting a few roadblocks. Here’s a rundown of what’s going on:
-
File Upload Problems: Some of my images don’t seem to upload properly. They either don’t show up in the File Manager or they do but won’t open at all.
- File Size Limitations: A few of my photos are pretty large, and I’m concerned that this might be causing the upload to fail. Is there a file size limit in cPanel, and if so, how can I get around it?
-
Folder Permissions: I’m unsure if I’ve set the right folder permissions for the images to display correctly on my website. Can anyone guide me on how to check and adjust these?
-
File Types: I mostly use JPEG and PNG formats. Does cPanel have any known issues with these file types that I should be aware of?
-
Slow Upload Speeds: Even with smaller files, the upload speed is really slow. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?
Here’s some more context:
- I’m using a web hosting service that provides cPanel.
- My website is a photo gallery, so getting images uploaded and displayed properly is super important.
- I’m not very tech-savvy, so if anyone has simple, step-by-step advice, I’d love to hear it!

Hey there! In general, if you only have access to the cPanel side of things and not root access to the server, it's best to speak with the hosting provider or datacenter to have them check the issue as they would have access to the logs to see what is happening. However, I can still provide you with some general advice:
1 - Do you get any errors in the File Manager when this happens?
2 - If you are uploading directly inside the File Manager tool there wouldn't be any file size limits. If you are uploading through an app, like WordPress or another tool, there will be limits on the sizes of files that PHP can handle. These limits are preset by your host and you can't change them.
3 - In general, all directories should be 755 and files should be 644.
4 - No, those will work just fine.
5 - cPanel itself doesn't have any control over the networking speeds on the system, so that would be a question for your host.
