Error creating thumbnails on the server

[Hayan]

Hi,

First of all, sorry for my english because it's not my native language.
I have installed Joomla 1.5.11 (Vea) with PhocaGallery 2.2.4 and it can't create thumbnails. The image files are ok and .jpg type, the host has the GD library 2.0.28 and Images, Phocagallery and Thumbs folders have the 777 rights set.

With a little script with gd_info command I got this info of the GD library:

array(12) { ["GD Version"]=> string(27) "bundled (2.0.28 compatible)" ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(true) ["FreeType Linkage"]=> string(13) "with freetype" ["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(false) ["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true) ["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(true) ["JPG Support"]=> bool(true) ["PNG Support"]=> bool(true) ["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true) ["XPM Support"]=> bool(false) ["XBM Support"]=> bool(true) ["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=> bool(false) }

...So everything seems ok to me.

When I go to Components > Phoca Gallery > Images, I receive an error saying it can't create files on the server, so doing a little google search i get this is the ERRORWRITEFILE error on the com_phocagallery.ini, but still, I have set the 777 rights to the images, images/phocagallery and images/phocagallery/thumbs folders, so i don't understand where's the trouble.

I have uninstalled and installed again the PhocaGallery and I get the same error.

Thank you.

Hi, 777 is about permission, but there can be problem with ownership of files and folders which can be other than your script has. Try to check ownership of folders and try to enable ftp layer in global configuration of Joomla!

It worked, thank you very much, Jan! I didn't know about ownership of files, you helped me a lot.
And congratulations for Phoca Gallery extension, it's excellent!
