Got the same results with a small .gif and small .jpg.

Could not see what you are using for image processing, ImageMagick or GD?

[Levz]

Where would i see that info?

[Nibbler]

Configure the upload options exactly as described in the link provided above. Check what you have set for the 'resize method' in config.

[Levz]

The config screen is exactly as suggested.

The group panel is exactly as suggested.

The folder permissions where exactly as required.

upload_tmp_dir shows 'no value' how do i specify that?

[Joachim Müller]

The group panel is exactly as suggested.

No, it's not. The number of URI upload fields is suppossed to be set to zero - you have set it to one instead of zero.

ughh....ok....

so i guess this is the real error you are talking about.

The file 'albums/userpics/DSC03238~4.JPG' can't be inserted in the album

Error executing ImageMagick - Return value: 127

Cmd line :
/usr/bin/convert -quality 80 -antialias -geometry 69x100 'albums/userpics/DSC03238~4.JPG' 'albums/userpics/thumb_DSC03238~4.JPG'


The convert program said:
sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

Common problem. You told Coppermine to use ImageMagick for resizing images but you don't actually have it installed or it is not installed where you told Coppermine it was. Either switch to GD2 in config or determine the correct path to use.

[Levz]

Yessir, you were indeed correct. now i changed it to GD 2x but now the error says

PHP running on your server does not support the GD image library, check with your webhost if ImageMagick is installed

Do what the message says. You need one or the other to use Coppermine.

[Levz]

ok, i'll re read it again.

But i will say this, you really gotta check ur ego at the door cuz you guys can be brutal.

Conclusion for others with similar issues: you need to fullfill the minimum requirements to run coppermine. If you don't, there's nothing we could do for you if you don't have what is needed to run Coppermine. Don't blame the car dealer that you need a driver's license and roads to actually drive a car.
Marking thread as "solved", although the thread starter probably doesn't like the answer given.
