Thumbnail creation failure

[peterhb]

Hi!
I have tried reading some of the other topics, but I can't find the solution for my problem.
I have the newest stable version of Phoca Gallery installed. At the beginning everything seemed to work fine. But now I suddenly can't create thumbnails anymore. The system hangs up in the procedure, and I have to press "Stop thumbnail creation" to continue.
The server has php 5 installed and GD library enabled. I have plenty of storage. The librarys for thumb creation and picture upload have all write read and edit permissions.
What have I missed? Why has the system suddenly stopped working?

Hope you can help me.

Hi, try to see your error log, maybe some image is too large for making thumbnails from it ?

Hi!

I don't think the size is a problem. The pics are only about 200kb each. What else can make it not working?

Hi I have the same problem.
But first of all, great component. I use it on all the homepages I created. And now I get that problem.
When I first installed the component and uploaded the first pix, the thumbnails were created fine.
Now I want to add a new category and when I add the pictures the screen turns white and in the right corner the message is displayed: "Minibilderstellung abbrechen" or in englisch "stop thumbnail creation" or something like that.
When I look in the thumbs folder, two thumbnails of the first picture are created, a medium and a small one, but just of the first one, even if I want to create all sizes of thumbs.
The uploaded pictures are 640x480 and no one is bigger than 132kb.
The version is 2.5.7 on Joomla! 1.5.14. The browsers I tried on are FF, IE and Opera.

Hi, you need to increase php memory for your site

Hi Jan

Thank you very much for the hint. I never would have thought about that (non-pro). I now increased the php memory and it works fine again. Thanks again.

P.S. For all with the same problem: In my case the value with memory_limit = in the file php.ini had to be increased.
