I have also tried it again but the same error appeared.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Looking forward to your reply.

• aravind: Have you tried executed commands like reindex,upgrade, content,cache
• Siva: @aravind, I have tried all the commands but still not able to upload the images.

Answer 1

I agree with other answer here that it is file permission issue. M2 on windows in xampp isn't great for this reason. I recommend docker. That said there is a post here regarding xampp permissions that might help.

Answer 2

Except permission issues this error also can show up when you use different version of PHP. Probably you cannot run Magento 2.2.6 with PHP 7.2 without patches (if they exist)

Please check on first place what version of PHP you have on Your Xampp server.

UPDATE: I didn't notice that You have also issue with logo, its looks like this bug(Magento 2.3), check maybe with logo first, if its working try change this also for products: https://github.com/magento/magento2/commit/ba69bfec127bed8c39c7d9e7b73d10b54449b158

• Siva: Thanks for your suggestion. For your information, I have checked the same on Magento 2.3.0 in Xampp. There also I can't upload the images. Checked the devdocs and see Magento 2.3.0 supports PHP version 7.2. What should I do now?
• BartZalas: Users ownership on directories, is it correct?
• Siva: What do you mean by ownership on directories? For your info, I have already set the permission 777 to the pub/media folder
• BartZalas: So permissions should be allright. What about this magento.stackexchange.com/questions/258965/… It looks like you have also problem with logo, I didnt notice. I update my answer.
• Siva: I have tried the link which you provided but it's not working as expected.
