Restoring Thumbs and Normal Images From Originals

[9re9]

Hi-

I recently moved my Coppermine installation to a hosted server. My old installation was on a failing Linux Box, which I backed up to CD. Unfortunately, the CD didn't write very well, and so I am unable to recover some of the backup data. I was able to recover my mysqldump files, but my Coppermine images are lost.

Fortunately, I have copies of the files I originally posted to my Coppermine gallery. So, I have uploaded those images to the new server. I thought that by running admin tools, I'd be able to regenerate the thumbs and the intermediate pictures. However, when I do so, I get an error message. Specifically, I get:

Code Select Expand

ERROR creating:$thumb
ERROR creating:$normal

I'd really like to avoid starting from scratch, so any advice anyone can offer would be great. Thanks.

A search through the forums for the error message often helps. If not, let us know.

Thanks for the help. I should have thought to search based on the error - my other searches didn't pan out.

In any case, I've set permissions correctly. The other post seems to indicate that using GD instead of ImageMagick might do the trick, but that seems odd.

In any case, both my "edit" and photo directories are set to 755, but I'm still getting the errors. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Oops. 

It was my bad - I forgot to update the path to ImageMagick. Thanks for the help.

No problem. Thanks for adding to the knowledge base to explain why people can get this error message. It might explain why the other post showed that switching to GD helped. They probably had incorrect IM path.
