Assets disappearing after upload
Hi there, This is third site I'm setting up on my domain, so I don't understand why the issue or what I've done differently. Basically, when I try and upload an image asset, it uploads, the little thumbnail shows up for a brief moment, and then the asset disappears. I can see the file has been added via FTP, however I can't view it in the Perch CMS, so I can't use any of the images.
Please help?

That sounds like you're getting a preview in your browser before upload, rather than the file being removed.
It sounds like the file is being uploaded, so is the issue that a thumbnail isn't generated?
Hi Drew, that could whats happening yea, either way, my assets window stays totally blank =( any ideas what this could be?
Have you followed the troubleshooting steps here? https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/help/#my-assets-are-not-uploading
Hi Rachel thanks for the suggestion. I have yes, gone back to basics and kept the template to a very simple <perch:content id="logo" type="image" label="Trial Image" /> just to get things working, tried with a very small image, same thing. It appears to upload, show a little thumbnail for a second, and then it disappears and I'm left with nothing in the Assets, how bizarre.
Just found this error
VM779:1 POST https://www.creative-animal.com/projects/turicum/perch/core/apps/assets/upload/ 500 (Internal Server Error)
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
If you check your server's error log, it should have the detail of the error message.
Thanks Drew, I took a look and this is all there is :

Does this help?
I've checked up on those issues and amended the .htaccess and permissions on the upload direction and index.php file. Now although I get a PHP error in the browser console, no errors show up on my servers error log :S
What error are you getting now?
The errors above look like file system permission problems rather than anything you'd address from the web server config.
That's the problem, now there are no errors at all in the error logs, despite still receiving the following error in browser console :
https://www.creative-animal.com/projects/turicum/perch/core/apps/assets/upload/ 500 (Internal Server Error)
Nothing in the error logs after I corrected the permissions issues, so I've no idea what to do now =( the same issue is still present
You might need to contact your host to find out why the error isn't being logged.
