Error when re sizing thumbnails

[Danyarnos]

Hi All,
When I try to regenerate my thumbs to a larger size I get this error repeated

Warning: touch(): Utime failed: Operation not permitted in /home/fhlinux190/a/aidemedia.co.uk/user/htdocs/photoblog/includes/functions.php on line 154

Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open '../thumbnails/thumb_20060327074954_dsc_3199.jpg' for writing in /home/fhlinux190/a/aidemedia.co.uk/user/htdocs/photoblog/includes/functions.php on line 155

Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /home/fhlinux190/a/aidemedia.co.uk/user/htdocs/photoblog/includes/functions.php on line 157


any ideas

Cheers

having done some digging and stuff, I think its a permissions problem. Where, the thumbs folder is chmod 777 but the files are 644 and for some reason the files aren't recognising me as the owner.

So i have posted a support tciket with my hosts to see if they can change the permissions for me, and also I have changed the script that creates the thumbs so it sets them to 777 rather than 644.

Is this a bad idea or not????

Regards
Dan

you should not hack the scripts.
every further upgrade will bring problems

but before we can give you more help or suggestions, we should know which system configuration you run

there is a difference between MS Server and Apache Servers...

so give us the info which you find at admin/general info

I've put it as '../images/' as suggested, my error has changed slightly, it keeps repeating this now.

Warning: touch(): Utime failed: Operation not permitted in /home/fhlinux190/a/aidemedia.co.uk/user/htdocs/photoblog/includes/functions.php on line 154

actually right at the end this came up.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/fhlinux190/a/aidemedia.co.uk/user/htdocs/photoblog/includes/functions.php on line 135

[Connie]

as a system default, the time for uploads mostly is restricted to 30 seconds at most servers

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /ho

you see? Your server is too slow to run the operation (Resizing of thumbs) in that time

you have some chances:

- wait until Internet is not so busy and try again
- ask your hoster to set the server to a higher "execution time" period

that would sense if the only error was that, (which does probably need changing) but like i've said I've looked at the ownership of the files and I've managed to chmod alot of them to 777, and those ones are convertable. Theres about ten files since I upgraded that are not. This is because when i try to change them to 777, it isn;t recognising me as the owner of the files.

anyway, i'm trying to get my service provider to xhange the files so they are 777, then i should be alright.

Thanks for the help.
