Can't upload pictures

[typomaniac]

Hi,
I'm running version 1.6.18 (stable) with MySQL Version: 5.7.44 & PHP Version: 7.4.10.
I had to go to 2 different browsers to get new folders but every time I try to upload pictures, everything is coming back with a 500 error after every file.
Is there something I need to do to fix this?
Thanx and you do have the best gallery (I've been using since 2011).

A 500 error could be many things. It is your server reporting that it has received a command that it cannot understand or process. For security reasons, most servers are setup to display a 500 error rather than the details of the actual error. Most hosts allow you to configure this, or will have logs available that detail the error. You may need to reach out to your hosting support to find out the actual error.

You should first update your gallery. When logging in as admin, you should see (at least once a day) a message stating that there are updates available. If you follow the provided link, you will be able to update your gallery with a couple clicks. If that is not working for you, you can use the installer-stub.

Looking at your gallery, I see that you are using the water_drop theme that has been substantially modified. The gallery update methods mentioned above will overwrite your modified theme ... so you would have to do something to keep that from happening. You could rename or copy the theme folder and then after the gallery update, restore it. It is not a good idea to modify ANY files that are part of the CPG distribution. Custom themes should be in their own custom folder.

Hi, I just ran the installer-stub and things appeared to go smooth.

If I go to config to check the version it is showing  Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.6.27 (stable) however, when I try to upload images I'm now seeing the following after each image:

image_name.jpg
Error executing ImageMagick - Return value: 127

When I looked for installed pear modules, I didn't see ImageMagic although I see one as a perl module.
Do I need to contact the server host or can ImageMagic be installed to the Coppermine directory?
I'm not real good at this sort of thing but doing my best.

Maybe your host changed their configuration and ImageMagick is not available. If you go to Config->File settings->Method for resizing images .. you can select an alternate method for resizing uploaded images. That should solve your issue.

Thank you soooo much! I changed the method to GD version 2.x and everything went back to working. You guys are amazing, and to think you do it all out of the goodness of your heart.
Thanks again,
