Getting Error creating resized original

[stingray352796]

Hi,
I'm the getting the following errors when I click Submit when attempting to create classifieds posting with an image included:

Error creating resized original! Error code: 1

I also get the following on the top of the screen:
Warning: unlink(C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/pp-classifieds/data/6/thumbs/Diller_021.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\pp-classifieds\image-inc.php on line 385

I am running currently in a Windows localhost environment (xampp), with Vb 3.7.4, I have the User Registration set to VB3, I am using ImageMagick, I have my Global Options path set correctly to the data directory, I have the Admin Option set to allow ads to be uploaded, and I have the Upload Ads options all set to default.

Any ideas? I'm obviously overlooking something.

Also, in Global Options there is one entry that confuses me:
"Full path to PhotoPost Classifieds data directory" and then in the same box below this entry it says
"Full path to the image files directory". Is this asking for the path to the 'Data' directory or the 'Images' directory?


thanks!

Hello the data directory is for the images you upload the other options I assume your referring to the images directory for images in the program code files.

I would suspect based on your error that you need to set the data directory at every level to READ WRITE PERMISSIONS.

Hi,
I read somewhere in the vBulletin help that GD is bundled with PHP, which I didnt know, so I tried switching to GD2 from ImageMagick and it appears now to work fine. The classified posting worked fine and it uploaded the images for the ad fine. Something is obviously wrong with my ImageMagick installation. Is there really any big advantage to using ImageMagick over GD2?

thanks

They are the same although Imagemagick can usually handle larger images.
