Hi,

Siteground hosting company somehow maneged to delete 4 GB of my pictures...luckily I had made some backups of original pictures and coppermind database. What I lost was thumbs and intermediat size pictures. So I installed coppermind album, then imported database and coped original files to exact catalogues where they were.

Then I went to "Admin tools" and  selected
1) "Update thumbs and/or resized photos (1)"
2) "Both thumbnails and resized pictures"
3) Selected an album
4) clicked on "Submit"

Then I saw list of errors:
ERROR creating : albums/2005/sobrad/stockholm/thumb_Picture002.jpg
ERROR creating : albums/2005/sobrad/stockholm/thumb_Picture003.jpg
and so on...

Briefly...I can not for some reason create again thumbnails and intermediat pictures

Can you suggest something to me that I should check or do or done differently?

all the best,

Ragnar

Did you set permissions on the albums folder as suggested in the docs?

My folders are with premission 755, but I also tried with 777. It still gives me the same error

ERROR creating : albums/2005/sobrad/stockholm/thumb_Picture002.jpg
ERROR creating : albums/2005/sobrad/stockholm/normal_Picture002.jpg
and so on...

Make sure there are no thumb or normal files, means check if these files already exist
-> albums/2005/sobrad/stockholm/thumb_Picture002.jpg
-> albums/2005/sobrad/stockholm/normal_Picture002.jpg

double check folder permissions (albums dir and its subdirs)

[naxz]

1) those files (thumb and normal) do not exist.

2) I also checked permissions
albums/ (755)
2005/ (755)
sobrad/ (755)
stockholm/ (755)

also I tried those folders with with 777
Still the same eror message

did you read the entire permission section of the docs as I suggested? Did you understand it? There might be issues only your webhost is capable to fix (ownership issues - CHOWNing).

I changed "Method for resizing images" from ImageMagic to GD version 2.x and it started to work again.
