Warning: imagejpeg 'Failed to open stream' on product update Magento 2

Question

When attempting to save a product (transferred originally from Mage 1 database) in Magento 2 I am receiving the following error.

Warning: imagejpeg(/var/www/html/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/1/swatch_image/30x20/beff4985b56e3afdbeabfc89641a4582/s/m/small-table_4_2.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/vendor/magento/framework/Image/Adapter/Gd2.php on line 181

If I visit this location in the file system the image does not exist.

If I look in the product page of admin panel or on the front end I can see no call to this specific image link.

Can anyone please assist?

Answer 1

Try to clear Catalog product image cache.

Make sure that /var/www/html/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/ is writable for the Magento user (maybe apache or nginx). Check parent folders also.

Try to delete var/di var/generation var/cache folders too.

Do you use swatch image for products ?

• YorkieMagento: No we don't use swatch images for products. I will give that a try and let you know.
• YorkieMagento: I get a permissions error when I try and run flush image cache. So I am guessing this will be the cause, and solution to my problem. I will update in due course.

Answer 2

This is resolved by giving all directories in /pub/ folder 775 permissions for the magento user. or we can give 777 permissions
