auto thumbnails quit working 3 days ago in ver 1.7
« on: June 13, 2005, 09:48:04 AM »
we have been running ver 1.7 for several months with no changes in last few days to files,templates, or code

on 6/09 auto thumbnailer stopped working

images upload to server, but thumbnails are no longer created automatically

I can view all uploaded files correctly by opening the default thumbnail, but if i go to edit the image by manually adding a thumbnail file name .. i.e. image1.gif  the uploaded file is not found in db and 404's out

if i go in to autothumbnailer in acp, i get the list of files without thumbnails, click create thumbnails and it errors out the entire list of images with ( example) :

Create thumbnail for: lil birdy (thumb_gridfemale1844.gif) ....   
   Error creating thumbnail!

here are the settings in ACP:

under Settings -- is as follows

thumbnail size in pixels is 102 
resize fixed width
thumbnail quality 100


under Auto Thumbnailner - is as follows

thumbnail size is 100
resize proportionately
thumbnail quality is 75

host server was moved the week before, but this did not show up for several more days so i don't think it is a safe mode issue as it did not occur immediately

any ideas?
 :arrow: :?

P.S.  - i deleted the last file uploaded prior to the problem occuring in case it was a corrupt file. Additionally, today I validated 5 more uploads and 1 of the 5 created a thumbnail automatically ..... way odd !!!

sounds like your hoster changed something, or u've provided a wrong path to IM executible or IM is corrupted

try to play with the path, or maybe try use GD instead.
