Thumbnails not being generated for images

kevmo85

This discussion is related to the FileUpload addon.

For some reason when I upload images, thumbnails are not being created. The folders for the thumbnails are getting created at

/uploads/thumbnails/FileUpload/XX

but no thumbnail images are created. The URL for the thumbnail is

mydomain.com/vanilla/utility/thumbnail/FileUpload/XX/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg

but that URL obviously doesn't work if there are no images.

Any pointers as to what I could do to troubleshoot this?

If you are getting a bonk then you need to put your forum in debug mode and see what the error could be.

$Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;

You sir Todd are my hero.

The error was "The uploaded file could not be processed because GD is not installed."

apt-get install php5-gd and a restart of Apache solved my problem.

Thanks!

Thumbnail and Thumbnails

Looks like a folder issue. 2nd example says thumbnail.

1st example says thumbnails.

Have you checked paths and permissions

kevmo85

The folders were the default ones created by the plugin. I tried even setting the permissions to 777, but no luck.

mydomain.com/vanilla/utility/thumbnail/FileUpload/XX/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg

This URL gives me the "Bonk. Something funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks." error. I'm assuming this is a 500 error.

mydomain.com/vanilla/utility/thumbnails/FileUpload/XX/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg

But the thumbnails URL gives me a 404 page not found error.

Create folder called thumbnails and 777 it

kevmo85

The folder is already called thumbnails. I created one called thumbnail, but no effect.

I deleted the thumbnails folder, but when I uploaded an image, a new thumbnails folder was created.
