Upload image - Thumbnail

[ErikvdB]

Hey!

Sorry for posting another thumbnail-problem, but I tried everething I could think of and could not find an solution.

I'm using 1.2.6 and try to upload images (either ftp-takeover or just upload), but I get the idea that no thumbnails are created. The upload does not give any problems, but when I open the Image Browser or switch to 'thumbnail in list' in the filecenter, the page 'stops' where I would expect the first thumbnail.

I have 'GD Version: bundled (2.0.12 compatible)' on the server. This is (part of) my config:

Thanx in advance!

Hi ErikvdB,

what type of images you have uploaded? JPG - GIF - PNG ?
Some versions of GD don´t support GIF !!!!!

You now need to setup the correct permissons for certain files and folders. This should be done using CHMOD from within your FTP Application.
Folder "content/images" = 777
Folder "phpwcms_filestorage" = 777
Folder "phpwcms_filestorage/can_be_deleted" = 777

An corrupt image can cause this reaction.

How large the picture are?

regards Knut

First of all, thanx for your advise!

I uploaded jpg-files, althoug quite big. I think (assuming to phpinfo) my GD should also support GIF.

I checked this several times, but they are set up correct

I tried several files, no-one giving good results


but...

This morning, I tried again, and found out that when I upload only a few photo's (I'm still trying this with more) and switch to the thumbnail-preview, my page is 'stopped' where the first (not rendered?) thumbnail should be shown. When I then switch to list-view (hide thumbnails) and then switch back, some thumbnails are shown. It seems that my server just needs quite some time to generate the thumbnails.

Okay, just checked this with a larger number of pictures (26 with 2048x1536 each) and indeed I will need quite some patience and then suddenly all thumbnails are created.. When I upload smaller pictures (500*368) this delay is decreased significantly.

So, my problem seems to be solved with some minutes patience!

Thanx for your advice!
