[Solved]: The previous file could not be placed.
« on: April 02, 2009, 12:39:42 pm »

The previous file could not be placed.

You have successfully placed all the files.


I get this contradictory message after trying to place an uploaded pic into an album the message comes up on this page http://256clan.com/gallery/upload.php and the pic does not appear in the gallery.

I have read through documentation and looked for any similair problems , this happens for all users
http://256clan.com/gallery

Any pointers

Correct. When you make a album in cpg it does not automaticly make a folder on the ftp side of the story.

Here's what is normally done when you are the admin.

- create a folder under albums and upload the pictures there using ftp
- make sure that new folder is writable, either 755 or 777
- create a album in a category in cpg
- use batch add to add the pictures from the ftp folder into the cpg album

thanks for your reply.

I followed yur instructions and when doing the batch upload i get this error.

"Error executing ImageMagick - Return value: 127

Cmd line :
/usr/bin/convert -quality 80 -antialias -geometry 100x48 'albums/testfolder/256specialbus.jpg' 'albums/testfolder/thumb_256specialbus.jpg'


The convert program said:
sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory"


while this maybe a problem in the way i set things up i really cant see what i have done.

It means that when you installed Coppermine you selected to use ImageMagick and entered a path (/usr/bin/convert) to it. Either that path was wrong, or you don't actually have ImageMagick in the first place. Either set the correct path in Coppermine's config or switch to GD2 instead.

That's one of many reasons we don't recommend using auto installers. You would not have this problem if you used the official install script.

Look in config - Files and thumbnails advanced settings => Method for resizing images

Here you got the instruction for upgrading. The is no  'upgrade checking' button built in Coppermine.

If you read carefully that thread you wouldn't have problem upgrading. ;)
