Title: Error creating thumbnail! with ImageMagick
Post by: LeiPostma on August 01, 2009, 12:39:36 PM
I'm running 4ImagesGallery 1.7.7 on W2K SP4 under IIS PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5.0.

I'm having a problem with the implementation of the autothumbnailer: I installed ImageMagick and linked to the convert.exe in 4Image. When I use the admin tool to create the thumbnails I can I get a list of the uploaded files when clicking check thumbnails. When I click Create thumbnails I get "Error creating thumbnail!" message for all the selected images.

As far as I overlook the situation I put full controll on all relevant folders but as I'm new to this I still have the feeling it might be a security issue with files and or folders.

Can anybody shine some light in my dark?

Regards, Leon

Hello and welcome to 4images forum.

What is the path to convert.exe do you use?

Some people reported that they had to use double back slashes: C:\\ImageMagick\\convert.exe
other reported that they had to install IM into a folder, so there was no spaces in the path (i.e. C:/Program Files/ImageMagic/convert.exe didn't work)

If changing path didn't help, try [MOD] Batch Copy/Move/Edit Images (http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=6759.0), it might reveal more details about the error.

You're the MAN!

The double \\ weren't the problem. But reinstalling into a path without spaces worked.

Thanks!

I guess it's stlll good practice to avoid spaces etc. in file names and folders
