Phoca Forum

my host set permisions on the the thumbs folder and it worked.

Ok

Hi, I have a similar problem with creating thumbnails.

On had joomla with XAMPP and there, everything worked fine. Then I coped my files to an online server and there I can watch images, which I have integrated under XAMPP, but I can not intergrate new pictures. I can load them up, but phoca can't create thumbs. There is always an error:
Error 500 - Internal server error
But the funny thing is that I can create thumbs with small pictures, but not with big ones. E.g. I can create thumbs with picture a (1300x800) but not with picture b (1350x800 and higher). I alread tried to set permission 777 with FileZilla but it didn't help.

I use joomla 1.5.14 and Phoca Gallery 2.5.7 Beta.

Hi, try to see your memory settings for php, try to see the error log on the server

That could be the solution, but where can I find these files?

the error log you should find on your server (if you will ftp it), the php.ini can change your webhosing operator.

I found the memory_limit 40M in Information->PHP-Information
is that enough and where can I change this?

I had this problem until I created 777 permissions for the "thumbs" folder that Phoca creates to put the thumbnails inside of the original image folder. After it writes the thumbnails you can change the permissions back to 666.

I tried this alread and it didn't help, because I can create thumbs, but only from small pictures. And I have my server by 1&1.

Hi, thumbnails can be written by two possible ways:

- using JFile or not. If you will use JFile (see parameters) then the thumbnails can be written with ftp ownership and permissions (or not if ftp layer is disabled). If you will not use JFile, the thumbnails are written with web server script.

This is not related to GD settings, it is related to security settings on your server. As no 777 permissions should be used, on your server there should be set the right settings - permissions + ownership. If not you can try to use ftp which can do it (because of ftp ownership)
