Problems using CD 2.0

[pilot]

I keep getting these errors if I try using my picture album with CD 2.0, but not when using CD 1.0. The directory is all 777, so that can be the problem, at least I think.

Any one got a clue?

What are the main differences between CD1 and CD2 by the way?

Code Select Expand


The picture 'albums/userpics/10001/Sample.jpg' can't be inserted in the album

Unable to create thumbnail or reduced size image.

Thanks in advance!

(it's GD, not CD!)
you can't simply change the setting GD1/GD2 in coppermine config and think you're done - you have to choose the image library that actually exists on your server! Take a look into the faq on how to find out your GD version.
The main difference is the usage of true color images: GD2 can, GD1 can't.
There's a set of different PHP commands dealing with images, depending on which sort of image lib you're using there are diffent commands available. Coppermine has been built to work with both - you'll get better results if you use GD2 - see http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php?q=GD1vsGD2#GD1vsGD2
Unless you run your own server, your webhost has to install GD for you, so it's not a matter of taste, but what actually is there.
