Image resizing? - Page 2

Well I suggest you completely delete and reinstall just to make sure

I can not find anything set incorrectly except your data directory permissions which you fixed. This is no doubt a permissions things for ImageMagick although I find no reference for an Error Code: 218

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 218

Command: "/usr/bin/mogrify" -size 125x94 -quality 70 -geometry 125x94 /var/www/site.com/html/classifieds/data/4/2chuck1-thumb.gif

However as I stated before NO ONE who has brought the product has reported this error

I do notice your server has the php.conf limitbodyrequest bug thing where your document is empty if you upload an image over 512KB other than that your phpinfo looks okay also as nothing jumps out at me.

Make sure to download the latest and do a reinstall and we will go from there. I have tried to replicate this elsewhere besides your site and am unsuccessful.

Deleted everything - reuploaded all files, reinstalled everything, set all permissions, tried an upload.... same thing. What next? Also, can you edit out my server name from your last post please?

How do I fix this? Could this be why people are receiving 404 errors when they try and upload a large image in Photopost? This recently started happening when I upgraded to 4.7 from 3.XX.

Please lets not cross post and stay on target here as this is the classifieds support forum

Your photopost thing TURN OFF SPIDER URLS

Chris everything points to an imagemagick problem. Try tunning the command Mogrify is trying to run in command prompt is you have ssh access and see what happens

/usr/bin/mogrify" -size 125x94 -quality 70 -geometry 125x94 /var/www/site.com/html/classifieds/data/4/2chuck1-thumb.gif

I do not know what an ImageMagick error code 218 is. I can find no documentation on the ImageMagick site. Do you have SSH access on your server? You can try installing a NON-ROOT INSTALL of ImageMagick and try to see if that ImageMagick works. I know GD1 works on your server as I tried that.

I had my host check ImageMagick and they told me it looked to be running fine. They're running ImageMagick-5.4.7-10. Is there another version that would work better?

Chuck S · May 1st, 2004, 02:54 PM

Chris,

This is why I suggested if you have SSH access to install a non-root install of Imagemagick so you can try out another imagemagick install and see if this happens with that one.

There is no documentation of an error 218 on ImageMagicks site and everything leads to a permissions problem

http://www.photopost.com/magicknoroot-php.html

A good test would be for you to install a non-root copy and test upload with a new imagemagick version.

If you switch to GD1 thumbnails are created.

I'll see if my host can do this... still not sure why only one of my two PP scripts would be affected by this.

ludachris · May 2nd, 2004, 11:44 AM

I've had my host uninstall and reinstall ImageMagick in the way it is suggested to do so in the PP documentation - now I'm receiving this error when I upload a photo:
Error creating resized original! Error code: 127

Are we getting any closer to this thing working for me?

ludachris · May 2nd, 2004, 11:51 AM

This 127 error code is happening in my live PP gallery now too... can someone please tell WTF is going on? This is the process my host used to install IM:
http://www.photopost.com/howtoinstall-php.html

Very frustrated right now. Now the one script that was working fine is not working, just because I'm trying to get this Classifieds script to work.
Here's the error code that shows up on the classifieds upload page with the 127 error:

Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in /var/www/dsmtuners.com/html/classifieds/image-inc.php on line 285

May 2nd, 2004, 01:07 PM

If you're now getting 127's in both apps, I would double check the path to mogrify with your host.

ludachris · May 2nd, 2004, 03:56 PM

Host changed the path to mogrify. It's finally working. Thanks guys for the help.

Hi,

I've just bought Classifieds after having Photopost and liking it, and although most things are working fine (thanks) I have to say that my uploaded images are not being resized at all, either. I dropped the max pixels to 50 and still get the images in the size that they are.

Now, i don't know how technically competent ludichris is, but from his posts he sounds better than me, and having tried to follow what was going on in the thread, i have to admit to being a bit confused as to what to do to resolve this problem.

The thumbnails work fine for photopost, but don't resize in classifieds.

For any advice that may be forthcoming, please bare in mind i will hold my hands up and say i'm a bit of a Jordan when it comes to technical stuff.

If spelt out for me, i can follow instructions, if spoken in proper coding language i tend to pout and thrust my silicons forward to deflect attention from my stupidity (which is an ugly sight considering i'm male).

Ta.

JerryM · June 25th, 2004, 02:35 PM

I had this same problem. Using Red Hat 9.1 OS, I had the IM installed from the RH distribution CD during installation. Apparently that version is just old enough to not work with Classifieds and perhaps PP has been around long enough to work with the older IM. (I don't have Photo Post). If you don't have it, try getting the lastest IM.

If you read this thread you will see the problem was with the image processor not photopost.

The customers host installed another newer copy of imagemagick and his install worked great

slant213 · June 28th, 2004, 09:10 AM

ok, just to validate here, photopost works fine, classifieds is problematic.

so, i've just contacted my host, and they're not sure if they will upgrade to a newer version of image magick because of the testing it would take on their custom servers.

If they won't upgrade, is my only option to move to a server which has a newer version of IM? or, does any version of GD make the classifieds work. and therefore if they have this do i simply use this?

cheers
