No thumbs in certain albums

[goowa]

All of my users can upload to their member galleries, and get thumbnails and photos, but when anyone besides me tries to upload to one of the other albums, they get the medium and large pic, but no thumbnail generated. I can fix it by rebuilding all thumbs, but I can't do that everyday.


I've checked and double checked the cmod on all folders and they're all 777, I've double checked safe mode is off. I've double checked user permissions. All set correctly as far as I can tell. I know the path's are right as I can upload to any of the albums and get thumbnails and pics, just not anyone else to any album other than Members Galleries.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Just on a whim, I emptied the uploads folder, but that didn't do anything to help.

thats strange your saying you can upload to an album and a thumbnail is generated but others users it is not?

You can post a url and test login here

Chuck let me back up, as I think this is all the same issue:

Whenever anyone (even I as the admin) posts in a brand new category, the following message is displayed:

Unable to read the format of file: /filepath/photo/data/505/medium/xyz.jpg

When I go to my data folder, there is a new folder (505) that was created today, which is set to 777 automatically. The problem, is that it doesn't create the folders /medium /mini or /thumbs. This is I assume is the reason for the error message.

If I go in and create those folder manually and 777 them all, then the uploads work fine for me. For some reason though, the folders are not being created besides the main folder (505 in this case)

I think if I can solve this problem, it may solve the original problem I was asking about.

While waiting for your response I saw your post about double checking the path, and then going to storage options and reverting, and saving twice. Tried that. No dice.

FYI, this is the path I'm using:
/home/httpd/vhosts/(mysitenameishere).com/httpdocs/forums/photo/data/

One more update:
If I manually go into each of my folders that was created when I made the categories (505,506,etc) and manually add a thumbs, mini and medium folder, and cmod them all to 777, then it works perfectly.

This leads me to believe my file paths are correct and permissions are correct, but for some reason photopost is not generating these sub-folders on the fly.

Make sure your files are all new and you do not have any old files on your server. Make sure that in admin PHPINFO that your server does not have safe mode set to on and make sure your data directory is set to 777
