thumbnailer error(s)
« on: June 18, 2003, 09:20:30 PM »
A while ago, I set up a 4images gallery on my domain. It worked perfectly. Then my host moved the server that the domain was on. And they wouldn't disable the exec() function. So, I got a new domain, at a new host.

Now, I have my arena finally installed and it works pretty good... and after doing everything to bypass safe mode I can finally make categories and upload images.

But..

The first problem is that even though I have netpbm and image magik installed at my domain, images still upload without a thumbnail. I've tried both thumbnailers. So, that brings me to my second problem. I go to auto-thumbnailer, and I get as far as the screen where it displays all of the missing thumbnails. Then I click on "create thumbnails" and I get a simple error of: "Error creating thumbnail!"

I looked around everywhere at these forums for a solution. So far everything suggested for similar problems hasn't worked. I tried doing the think with commenting out some things in image_utils.php that V@no suggested for image magik but that created more errors. I checked all file permissions and paths, everything is correct. I tried re-uploading netpbm but that didn't change anything.

I really need some help, I'm going to go absolutely nuts if my thumbnails don't work. And I refuse to resort to GD


Oh, and to see the php info stuff, go here: http://www.tikki-fish.net/phpinfo.php I don't know if that helps or anything?

Did you make sure to put in the proper paths for either ImageMagick, or NetPBM?  That is done in the admin control panel.

many ppl said, that that error was because they installed wrong version of NetPBM. maybe its same for u?
