Hi everyone, I'm running into an unusual problem with PayloadCMS. It works perfectly for local image uploads, but on my Digital Ocean VPS (Droplet) in production, I consistently encounter a 'There was a problem uploading the file' error, specifically when attempting to upload images. The rest of the app operates without any trouble on the VPS – creating, deleting, and modifying collections all work fine. Do you have any insights into why this might be occurring? Thanks!



Nevermind. Just had to sudo

sudo yarn build - sudo yarn build - sudo yarn serve

    Hey julian - glad you got that figured out. I thought it might have been a permissions issue with your media folder.



    Happy building!
