Help?

[Michael]

I just installed pixelpost, and it doesn't look pretty right now because I've just uploaded some test pictures. But I'm having problems with my thumbnails. They aren't being created and thus I have nothing in my \pixelpost\thumbnails drive. Any ideas to why its not working? This should display my thumbnails right? Thanks.

You have no GD LIB installed at your server
thus the thumbnails are not created

if you go to admin/general info you will see the info that GD lib is not there

without that it will never work
ask your hoster to install it for you

[Michael]

Well actually, I am my source of hosting. I just started it, so I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing. I'm running Apache on Win XP, any idea where to get it or anything along those lines? Thanks.

Make sure that your php.ini file has got uncommented (clear ; infront of string) line similar to:
extension=php_gd2.dll

[Michael]

Yeah in my php.ini I got ;extension=php_gd2.dll But I don't think I have GD LIB, because I don't remember installing it. Where can one find the program? And is it free? Thanks.

you have
;extension=php_gd2.dll
then you have to change it into
extension=php_gd2.dll
(deleting ; )
and save it!

Michael,

please learn the basics before you go into additional things

we cannot give support here for complete installing servers

if you want to run Apache under Windows as your server, you must learn that first

there is a lot of support outside, but here is PixelPost supporting community and we do not have enough time and energy to support completely everything

this is not meant discouraging, but please understand :smile:

[Michael]

Sorry, but I just wanted to post incase someone else might come across the same problem. You also have to set the extension folder as well as taking out the ;. Thanks for all the help.

thanks for caring for forum and writing this last post. btw, please choose a subject for the thread to. It will help further referes. the general HELP is not good for search.
