Error creating thumbnail! - ImageMagick
« on: May 20, 2003, 08:47:12 AM »
I use:
- Windows 2000
- 4images 1.7
- PHP 4.3.1
- mySQL 4.0.12
- ImageMagick 5.5.6-Q16 for Windows

My settings in Control Panel for creating thumbnails with 4images are:
- Control Panel->General settings->Conversion tool for thumbnails->ImageMagick
- Control Panel->General settings->If you have selected "ImageMagick" or "NetPBM", enter path->C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-5.5.6-Q16\convert.exe (this file exists in the folder)
- Control Panel->Upload settings->Auto-create thumbnail->Yes

When I use Control Panel->Auto-Thumbnailer to create thumbnails I receive some errors:
Code: [Select]
Create thumbnail for: central1 (14120065.jpg) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!

Create thumbnail for: central 2 (14240028.jpg) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!

What should I make to get the thumbnails ?

PS. I read some posts about this error but it doesn't help me ... :(

well done...

u defenetly read in the wrong forum...
read IM documentation, and search for a forum on net, where discuss IM (atleast that what I would do)

P.S. the problem u have might be because of wrong permissions (dont ask me where and how, its just my thought ;)).
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:

I don't read in the wrong forum.... I presume that this is the right forum  :?
I used http://www.4homepages.de/forum/search.php and the string: Error creating thumbnail ImageMagick

I said this is wrong forum, because I asumed that your IM is not installed correctly...:? :oops:
anyway, it's good that u provided usefull information about your system and 4images configuration ;) (wish others do the same :()
so, here is first thought:
u put path as:
C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-5.5.6-Q16\convert.exe
on windows systems u must either use double backslashes or use forward slashes (I heard that on NT servers it wont work)
so try either
C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-5.5.6-Q16\\convert.exe
or
C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-5.5.6-Q16/convert.exe

hope that's what it is ;)
