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

i have done this and all permission are set correctly , the files are on the server in gallery/albums/userpics but i still getting the error

[leccy]

i assume the when i create an album a corresponding folder would be created in the albums folder ? if so this is not happening.

[Hein Traag]

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.

my host has a automated process the loads down all the files needed and sets up the mysql. i have reinatlled from scratch and didnt get the options you describe. Could you advise where i find this setting to check or adjust it.

Banging my head firmly against the desk now.

[Nibbler]

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

wonderfull , thanks for your help switched to gd2 and it works just fine , now dare i try and bridge my logins to the Simple machines forum ?

the question , i have looked through the settings expecting to find a check for upgrades option but cant find anything.

[Fabricio Ferrero]

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.
