Unable to create thumbnail or reduced size image

[sophie]

Ok I have searched the forums and I can't find the answer. I enabled de-bug mode and I got this clearer message:

"The file 'albums/userpics/10001/Image6~1.jpg' can't be inserted in the album

Unable to create thumbnail or reduced size image.

File: /home/soproy5/public_html/savannah/gallery/db_input.php - Line: 402 "

I have read the '4.11.4 Upload troubleshooting' and the '4.11.5 Asking for support on upload issues'

I have set up a test account because honestly I have really tried, I have searched and I know you must have answered this one thousand time but I just can't find the answer please please help.

The test logins are:

Thank you so much. I am sorry to be a pain.

Sophie - suggest you read very carefully the first sentence of 4.11.5

[sophie]

When asking for support on the coppermine forum, post a link to your site and a test user account (the test user mustn't be in the admin group!) with upload privileges, with the above mentioned settings in place - this way, supporters can see the

I actually have done that..... But don't worry anyway I never wanted to frustrate anyone.

I was trying to draw attention to the part in brackets!!!!

your link doesn't work (blank page)

It worked earlier, but Sophie had granted admin privileges to the test account. I was trying to warn her of the dangers!

^ Thanks for trying to warm me I am a bit slow on the update on those things

Thanks anyway but I have now fixed it

The whole upload issue? If yes, please post what you did for the benefit of others. Additionally, this will enable us to tag this thread as "solved".

Of course, sorry I have been busy.

I went to: Config -> Files and Thumbnails settings -> Max width or height of an intermediate picture/video **  (had been set to 1 so I set it to 6000)

Hope this helps other people in the future!

Thanks for returning and sharing your resolution. However, setting the max size to 6000 is not a bright idea - only allow resolutions that make sense. The max usually is the number of pixels current displays can handle, which should be around 1200 pixels width. Yeah, I know that there are people who have higher resolutions, but they're a small minority. Your web pages should work for average surfers. Nobody owns a display with a width of 6000 pixels, so that's just not a bright setting in the first place.
