Not certain but sounds like an issue with permissions, try checking step2 from the installation guide.

Are you getting any JavaScript errors in your browser's console when you do any of this stuff?

@BradBell No javascript errors it seems, just this message: Double-instantiating a select on an element garnish-0.1.js:223, but i guess that is not related.

And on a side note, it only seems to happen after you delete a file and try to upload that same file again.. after which the log says it could not delete a file in 'craft/storage/runtime/assets/thumbs/...' because it doesn't exist

And a final note, the images do get uploaded but they just don't show in the Assets listing.

I have the same issue. How do I get this image out of the system? Everything works except for that one photo.

# Assets upload and Update Asset Indexes issues

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-06-30)

There seem to be some issues with asset uploading, and i can't figure out what the problem is. Here's a summary:

* After uploading an asset it doesn't show up in the Assets listing
* If i do a 'Update Assets Indexes' it says this about files 'The following files could not be found. Should they be deleted from the index?'
* If i run 'Update Assets Indexes' again, a couple (but not all) of the uploaded files appear in the Assets listing?

The assets file path seems to be in order. The log files says:

'[error] [application] Could not delete the file' ... 'because the file does not exist.'

Pointing to a file in 'craft/storage/runtime/assets/sources/'

I tried loads of stuff already, including uploading all craft files again in a new folder, but no dice.. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks, Bob
